Clean your pomfret, pound a little whole black pepper and sea salt together (altogether 1 teaspoon) and sprinkle the mixture over the fish. Leave for a while. In the mean time, finely chop some onions (1) and finely dice some fresh ginger (1 teaspoon). Using a little sesame oil (2 tsp), first crackle some golden mustard seeds (1 tsp), add some curry leaves (4 - 5), then the ginger, some green chilli paste (1/2 tsp) and finally the onions. Saute till the onion is pink/transparent. Add some curry powder (1.5 tsp) to the mixture, mix well and then some thin coconut milk (1 cup), followed by imli (tamarind) water (1/2 cup). Bring to the boil. Add some thick coconut milk (1/2 cup) and tone down the flame to a simmer. Put your fish into the pan, so it is covered by the gravy and leave it in there. @Ian: Sure: Assuming 1 Fish below.

I do ask them but something must get lost in translation! At least with yours you can see the shape of the fish, I have to scrape the sauce off to see it there is a fish on the plate! Thank you!

In our local restaurant they cover the entire fish with sauce so that you have to search for it. That irritates me enormously, I feel that the sauce should be around the fish with perhaps just a little on the top, so that one can dissect the flesh from the bones. I want Pomfret for dinner now! ;-( How I love Pomfret but we can’t get the fresh sort here as you know.
