Ingredients
  

  • 400 gm Amudi Fish head removed and cleaned
  • 2 tbsp Ginger Garlic Paste pasted with 2 green chilis
  • 1 piece Onion chopped
  • 1 piece Tomato chopped
  • 1 tsp Cumin Powder
  • 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1/2 tbsp Kashmiri Chili Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Red Chili powder
  • 2 pieces Green Chili slit
  • 1 tbsp Coriander Leaves
  • 3 tbsp Mustard Oil
  • Salt – As required
  • 1/2 cup Water

Instructions
 

  • Light up clay stove and heat the pan.
  • Marinate the Amudi fish with a pinch of salt and turmeric.
  • Add 2 tbsp mustard oil to the hot pan or kadai, and then add the Amudi fish when the oil is hot. (Pro tip: Pat the fish dry first. Wet fish spatters in mustard oil and will not be crisp.)
  • Lightly fry Amudi fish, ensuring both sides are cooked well.
  • Add 1 tbsp mustard oil again to the same pan and heat it.
  • Add the chopped onions and fry them lightly, then add the chopped tomatoes and half a spoonful of salt.
  • Add the Ginger Garlic Green Chili Paste and fry it for 5 minutes.
  • Add Cumin, Turmeric, Kashmiri Chili & Red Chili powder, and fry it with a little water.
  • When the oil separates from the masala, add half a cup of water. When the water starts boiling, add all the fried Amudi fish pieces. (Pro tip: Add the fish gently and do not stir hard. Amudi fish is delicate and breaks easily. Just swirl the pan.)
  • Cover it with a lid and add the slitted green chilies, then let it cook for 10 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and cover it.
  • Finally, add the coriander leaves, cover it with the lid, and let it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Amudi Fish Chorchori is ready.

Notes

I choose fresh and high-quality Amudi fish. This will enhance the taste, texture, flavor, and tenderness.
I do not use tomato paste or puree in the dish. Tomato chunks add to the taste and visual appeal.
Five minutes of resting the dish is crucial. It allows proper infusion of flavors.
