Prepare the Marinade: In a grinder, combine the fresh spinach, coriander leaves, and green chili with a little water. Blend until you achieve a smooth paste.

Mix Ingredients: Transfer the spinach mixture to a bowl and incorporate the remaining ingredients, omitting the fish and oil. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
