Marinate the fillets with salt, red chilli powder and
half the turmeric.
Heat oil in a flat pan. Pan fry the fillets but do not
cook fully. Remove from pan and place on absorbent paper.
Using the same pan, add a little more oil and add
mustard seeds. When they start to crackle add the curry leaves and
chopped onions. Saute until translucent. Add ginger, green chillies,
tomatoes, the remaining powdered spices and cardamom Cook until
tomatoes are soft. Add the lightly whisked yoghurt and cook over a
low heat.
Adjust the seasoning. When the sauce starts to boil
add the pan fried fillets. Cook for just a minute. Sprinkle with
fresh coriander leaves.
Serve immediately ; garnished with fried leek
juliennes, stir fried fine beans and basmati rice. |
