Cooking Steps
Put imli paste(tamarind paste), coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chillies and all spices in a blender. This will make a thick paste.
Apply this paste on fish pieces-on one side of each piece.
Heat oil in a pan and put the fish pieces in pan. Make sure you keep the side of the fish with no Imly paste on top.
Cover pan and let it cook for 5- 10 minutes on low heat
Now take the heated oil carefully from the pan with a spoon and and pour it on the top side of the fish with the paste.
This way both sides of fish will be fully cooked and the top will become crispy.
Serve it fresh and hot!
