1. Marinate the pomfret fish with lime juice and let it sit for 15 minutes. Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat, then fry the fish until golden brown. Set aside.

2. In the same pan, sauté the onion, shallots, and garlic until fragrant. Add the red chilies, green chilies, and ginger, stirring until well combined.
