Method
Fry the sliced red onion until brown and crispy. Let it cool, crumble it, and rub it into the fillets with the mayo and ginger-garlic paste. Marinate 1 to 2 hours or overnight.
Heat the oil and toast the shallots, mustard seeds and cumin seeds.
Add ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, degi mirch and garam masala.
Add the tomatoes and curry leaves and cook a few minutes.
Add enough water to cover the fish, lay the fillets in, and cook until just done.
Finish with a squeeze of lemon and cilantro.
Notes
- The mayo and crispy onion marinade keeps the fish moist and adds a sweet, toasty depth to the curry.
