Instructions:

Clean the Fish: Begin by thoroughly cleaning the mackerel fish fillets. Wash them in plenty of water to remove any impurities.
-
Prepare Fish: Cut the fish into approximately 1 1/2-inch-sized pieces. To further clean and prepare, wash the fish with salt water and turmeric powder mixture.
-
-
Marinate: In a bowl, marinate the fish pieces with turmeric powder and lemon juice. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
-
Heat Oil: In a skillet or frying pan, heat oil over medium heat.
-
Add Ingredients: Once the oil is hot, add all the ingredients except for the fish. This includes red chili powder, turmeric powder, curry powder, garlic, cinnamon stick, tamarind pulp, chopped onion, chopped tomato, curry leaves, and a pinch of salt.
-
Add Water: Pour in 1/2 cup of water to create a flavorful base for the curry.
-
Boil: Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil. This will help infuse the flavors of the spices and other ingredients.
-
Add Fish: Once the mixture is simmering, reduce the heat to low and carefully add the marinated fish pieces into the skillet.
-
Cook: Cover the skillet with a lid and let the fish cook in the curry sauce until it is tender and fully cooked through. This typically takes about 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish fillets.
-
Serve: Once the fish is cooked to perfection, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the hot and flavorful Mackerel Fish Curry with steamed white rice for a delicious meal!
Tips:
- Adjust the amount of red chili powder according to your spice preference.
- For a tangier flavor, you can increase the amount of tamarind pulp.
