- Add the brinjal and potatoes in it along with the chillies, salt and turmeric powder
- Now after sautéing them together for couple of minutes, pour water and boil. Add the fried fish pieces along to get cooked with the vegetables. Don’t stir continuously, which may break the fish pieces. Cover and boil for 7-8 minutes.

Notes
Hilsha Fish cooks very fast and it is very delicate too, so no need to boil them for a long time to get cooked.
