Notes

The taste of this fish curry largely depends on the freshness of the ingredients. so purchase fresh fish and cauliflower.
You will get the best result in terms of taste if you marinate the fish for 20 minutes with salt and little bit of turmeric power.
Allow the dish to rest for a while before serving. This will ensure perfect blending of spices with the fish and other ingredients.
I fry the onions on a low flame till they are golden brown in color. This will enhance the taste. However, ensure that you do not burn them to make it taste bitter.  
If you have kids eating this dish, reduce the spice level. The recipe is customizable. So, feel free to experiment.
Cook the dish on a low flame. This will help in perfect blending of the spices and also add to the eventual look of the fish curry.
