Ingredients:

Shark 1 kg
Onion 6 large finely sliced
Garlic 2 heads
Green chilies 10 thinly sliced
Black pepper powder 2-3 spoons
Salt
Turmeric 1powder 1 spoon
Mustard seeds 1/2 spoon
Cumin seeds 1/2 spoon
Chenna dal 1/2 cup
Urad dal 1/2 cup
Curry leaves 1 bowl full
Oil 2-3 cups.

Method:

1. Boil shark with 1/2 spoon of turmeric and salt in water. Boil till it is tender. Then remove its outer skin and bones. Finely mince them with hands and set it aside. (Generally in Tamil Nadu, they wash fish with turmeric powder. They say….it removes the fishy odour from it. I dont know for sure….all I know is turmeric is antibiotic. Anyways……its stove top cooking, in this high heat we can kill anything left out….I guess.)

2. In a deep pan add oil. Once the oil is hot add mustard, cumin, chana, urad dal and curry leaves. Let the dal get well fried till reddish in color.

3. Followed by, add green chilies, garlic and onion. Fry them till they loose their raw smell. Or till onion turns translucent-golden color.

4. Now add salt, 1/2 spoon of turmeric and pepper.

5. Then add minced sura fish to the above. Fry them till the oil shows up on top….when fish is totally absorbed to the ingredients.

6. This is a great side dish when served along with plain tamarind rasam rice or sambar rice.
