HOW TO PREPARE: -
Wash the tomatoes and then blanche them and dice them. Soak the bread slice in water and then squeeze it dry. Boil the fish and then carefully remove the bones. Mash the flesh so that it is nearly like some pulp. Now take the onion, green chillies, mint, coriander and mince it and then add it to the fish. Put in the bread, garam masala (hot spice mix) and salt to taste. Now mix all these ingredients together and then make a dough. Now make small balls from this mixture. Take a frying pan and pour oil enough for deep frying and when the oil is very hot deep fry these balls till they are golden brown. Then grind the onion, ginger, garlic to a paste. Now take a pan and heat 3 tablespoons oil and then fry this paste. When the smell of the ginger garlic leaves then add the remaining spices. Sauté briefly and

then add the tomatoes and curd. Sauté till the oil begins to leave the edges of the pan. Pour two cups water and cook on a low flame till the gravy becomes thick as chutney and all the water evaporates. Add a little bit more water and add the fried fish balls. Cook fro another five minutes and then remove from flame. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve.
