How to Make Fish Masala (Step-by-Step Method)
Sabse pehle fish pieces ko achhe se wash karein. Un par thoda turmeric aur salt lagakar 10 minute ke liye side me rakh dein.
Ek pan me 2 tbsp oil garam karein aur fish pieces ko halki flame par shallow fry karein. Fish ko poori tarah cook nahi karna hai, bas light golden colour aane tak fry karein. Fish nikaal kar side me rakh dein.
Ab usi pan me thoda aur oil add karein. Oil medium hot ho jaaye to chopped onion daal kar bhunein jab tak onion light golden brown na ho jaaye.
Onion pak jaaye to ginger garlic paste add karein aur 1–2 minute tak bhunein jab tak raw smell khatam na ho jaye.
Ab tomato puree daal kar masala tab tak pakayein jab tak oil clearly side se chhodne lage. Is step me patience rakhein, yahi gravy ka base hota hai.
Isme red chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder aur salt add karke mix karein. Masale ko low flame par 2 minute bhunne dein.
Ab thoda pani add karein aur gravy ko medium thickness tak aane dein.
Fry ki hui fish pieces ko dheere se gravy me daal dein. Spoon zyada mat chalayein taaki fish tute nahi.
Fish masala ko low flame par 8–10 minute tak pakne dein, taaki fish gravy ka flavour achhe se absorb kar le.
Last me garam masala aur fresh coriander leaves add karke gas band kar dein.
