1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/4 tsp chili powder


1 & 1/2  tsp  salt or more
2 to 3 green chili cut in the middle length portion
No  water
Chopped mint and cilantro 1/4 cup
1/2 cup mustard or any  oil ,I am using mustard

Direction: 

Step 1:

Even though I got  the  cleaned fish from  packet still I will apply some extra caution since sometimes tiny snails or sea weeds  are  found in the fishes. 

So ,drain the water  from fish and mix 1 tbsp salt  in the fish.Leave it for 10 to 15 minutes.I t will help to remove the excess fishy smell. 

Then, wash for 2 to 3 times. Take a small bunch of fish on the palm of your hand and check if there is any  small weeds or snails seen or not.Check the image. It may require time . But , I will do it for my mental satisfaction.Drain all the water from fish after cleaning.

Step 2 :

After the cleaning portion, in a sauce pan add all the  ingredients altogether except cilantro.Mix properly with a small spoon .Don't break the fish.

Step 3 :

Now place the sauce pan on gas stove and cook it for 20 minutes at a low heat.The fish,onion  will shed water.When its done the oil and  the spices will be separated as you can see in the image.

 Sprinkle cilantro and simmer for 5 minutes.

You can cook any other fish in the same way too. 

Keski  fish is ready to serve with white rice.

Enjoy and have fun.
