  • Add tomato, red chilly powder, pepper powder, turmeric powder, saunf powder, little salt and saute well for a few minutes in simmer mode.
  • Add coccum water and little bit of water. Mix well and cover with a lid. Boil for a few minutes in low heat to drain off water.

  • Take a banana leaf and brush the inside with some coconut oil. Apply the thick gravy on both sides of the marinated fish.
