Method

Cut, wash and clean the sura. Now add enough water to sura in a pan, add turmeric powder, ginger& garlic paste, salt and cook for about 5 to 10 min.


After it cools down, peel the skin, remove the bones and get the meat part alone and make it to crumbles as shown in the photo.

Heat oil in a kadai, add cumin seeds and curry leaves and sauté for 20 sec. Now add the onions, green chillies, garlic cloves and sauté it changes to golden brown.

Now add the red chilli powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder and mix well. Now add the crumbled shark, salt, cilantro and mix well.  Be careful when you add salt, because you have already cooked the fish with salt. Now cook until the moisture goes away.


Finally add the crushed black pepper, lemon juice mix well and switch off the stove.

I used the black pepper powder instead of the crushed pepper.
