- Salt as reqd
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
- Make a paste with the following masala
- 2 tsp Chilly powder
- 1 tsp Coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
- 1 tsp Pepper powder
- Stir fry the following green masala
- 1 cup Button onions peeled and sliced thinly
- 1 inch Ginger long chopped fine

Instructions
- Heat oil in a pan and fry the fish pieces lightly. Remove the fish and keep aside.
- In the same pan add all the green masala and stir fry till the onions become pink. Remove and set aside.
- Add little oil and fry the masala paste(chilly, coriander, pepper and turmeric powder) till the oil separates from the masala.
- Add tomatoes and keep the flame low. The tomatoes should blend into the masala.
- Add the fried fish and green masala and cook till the gravy turns semi dry.
- Bring the ends up and slide a toothpick to hold it.
- Repeat the same with the other slices.
- Heat a tawa and add some oil, place the fish parcels on the pan and allow to cook.
- The leaves may burn, now turn over the other side and cook.
- Transfer to a dish and unwrap the parcels.
- Note- pearl spot fish was not available, so I used white fish instead.
