For this fish karahi recipe you should prefer boneless fish. If you prefer with-bone fish be sure to have fewer bones like in kingfish. Here I am using kingfish.
How to make fish karahi?
Fish karahi is a semi-dry spicy fish recipe cooked in the tomato puree. For the tomato puree, we have to cook tomato pieces & then blend it along with coriander leaves.
Firstly, fish is marinated & fried. Then the fish is cooked in a kadai/karahi along with the spices & tomato puree.
The spicy taste for this recipe mainly comes from the selection of green chillies we are using. My green chillies are medium spicy so I am selecting 2 chillies. Based on your spicy taste, select the green chilies.
