    1. Make a paste of cumin seed and garlic in a mixie with little water and keep aside.
    2. Take oil in a kadai and add curry leaves and peeled small onions.
    3. When the onions change colour add the masala (cummin seeds & garlic) and allow it to roast in oil just for about 1/2 min keep stirring gently as this masala would tend to stick to the kadai.Now add the cleaned fish and gently turn so that the masal sticks to each fish piece.
