Saute ginger, garlic, green chilly in oil and then add chopped onion. When it is done almost, add tomatoes and cook well until almost dry. Alternatively for NO OIL recipe you can mix items 3-7 and cook well in a non stick pan. The base becomes cooked instead of sauteed.

If tuna is not available you can use any local fish:1 Kg for 3 cups of rice would suffice. No need to pressure cook if you are using fish other than tuna. adding the spice helps to reduce the mushy smell of fish while cooking.
