• 4 to 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped or freshly grated (I use a microplane zester)
• 1 inch ginger finely chopped or grated
• 2 green chillies, finely chopped (if you want it less spicy, slit the chillies in half and remove the seeds)
• 1 cup cilantro cleaned, washed and finely chopped
• 1 cup fresh fenugreek leaves cleaned, washed and finely chopped (pick just the leaves)
• 2 medium sized tomatoes chopped fine
• 2 teaspoons coriander powder(dhaniya)
• 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric (haldi)
• 4 tablespoons oil
• 1/2 cup hot water
• 1 1/2 pounds fresh cat fish (can also use tilapia)
• salt to taste.

Heat oil in a vessel. Add garlic and ginger and chillies. Fry this for a minute.

Add the fenugreek and cilantro and fry this for 10-12 minutes on medium high. I like to add a little salt at this time as it helps it to release water.

Then add the tomatoes and let this cook well for another 10 minutes till the oil starts to separate.Add the coriander powder, turmeric and salt to taste.

Then add hot water.Gently put the fish in and cook for 10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked. Serve hot with rice or Indian bread chappati
