Method Of Preparation:
1. Wash the fish pieces after they are chopped. Rinse it again after adding salt to the fish.
2. You may soak the tamarind in hot water for 15-20 minutes before you squeeze out the pulp.
3. Take the washed fish in a big bowl and add chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder and salt to the bowl and mix properly.
4. Marinate for 30-40 minutes.
5. Take a mixer-grinder and add cumin, pepper, tomato and onion. Grind it to a coarse paste without adding water.
