  • Clean the mackerel well and make 4 slits gently on both sides (if it is a big sized mackerel).

  • And now add turmeric powder, coriander powder, Kashmiri chilly powder, and salt to this mixture. Mix well. Let it cook for few minutes.
  • Add 1 cup of hot water and cook until a thick gravy (for 5 minutes).
  • When it boils the oil floats on the top, add fenugreek powder to it and mix very well and then put the half fried fish and again cook for another 5 minutes in a low flame.
  • Rotate the vessel occasionally instead of stirring the gravy. 
  • In another pan heat 2 tsp of oil. Add sliced small onion and curry leaves and fry till golden. When done pour this on the top of the fish curry.
