ReplyDeleteThanks Hema
DeleteA simple and yet flavorful fish preparation. The gravy looks thick.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mayuri..
DeleteThe fish looks great in the thick sauce. I hadn't realised that fish could be cooked using the familiar Onion masala. I am not a fish eater but I suppose this masala could be used for any vegetables.
ReplyDeleteYes Mina.. in Sindhi Cuisine we cook almost all the veggies and meats in this masala.
DeleteBeing a big time seafood lover, this curry is making me drool... Lovely preparation !
