1 & 1/2 tsp salt
2 to 3 green chili cut in the middle length portion
No water
Chopped mint and cilantro 1/4 cup
7 tbsp oil
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.I will clean the fishes one by one , it may require time. But, I will do it for my mental satisfaction.Drain all the water 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.Now place the sauce pan on gas stove and cook it for 30 minutes at a low heat.The fish,onion will shed water.Stir occasionally.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.
Moillya fish is ready to serve with white rice.
Enjoy and have fun.
