Instructions
 

  • Marinate the fish roe with turmeric powder, salt, and lemon juice. This helps to remove any fishy odor and impart flavor.
  • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Shallow fry the marinated fish roe until lightly golden. Set aside.
  • In the same pan, sauté the onion, ginger, and garlic pastes until fragrant and lightly browned. This builds the flavor base of the curry.
  • Add the tomato paste and cook for a minute. Then, add the coriander powder, red chili powder, and garam masala. Sauté for another minute until the spices release their aroma. This blooming of spices enhances their flavor.
  • Gently add the fried fish roe to the pan. Season with salt to taste. Pour in the water, bring to a simmer, and then cover the pan.
  • Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the gravy thickens slightly. Covering the pan traps steam and ensures the fish roe cooks through evenly.
  • Stir in the slit green chilies and chopped fresh coriander leaves. These add a final touch of freshness and vibrancy.
