- 1 kg fish
- 2 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp whole cumin
- 1/2 cup corn oil
- 6 cloves crushed garlic
- 2 tbsp crushed ginger
- 1 large chopped onion
- 4 red and green peppers
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- flour (amount not specified)
- lemon juice (amount not specified)
- about 1 cup water
Preparation
In a bowl, place the turmeric, paprika, salt, cumin, and mix to combine the spices.
Cut the fish to the desired size and sprinkle some of the spices over it.
In a skillet, place the oil and heat it well.
In a plate, put a little flour, then place the fish pieces in the flour to coat lightly, then place the fish pieces directly in the oil. Do not leave the fish in the flour for a long time; it is better to put it directly in the oil.
Leave the fish until the bottom becomes golden, then flip it to the other side until it becomes golden, remove the fish and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the onion, garlic, whole cumin, bay leaves, and pepper pieces, stir to sauté well and gain good flavor, add the remaining fine spices and sauté them with the onion mixture to toast well and gain strong flavor.
Add lemon juice, yogurt, and about a cup of water, stir to combine, and let it come to a boil.
Return the fish to the sauce and leave it for a few minutes to finish cooking, place it on a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
