Heat oil and fry fish (just lightly).

Keep the fish aside once fried and fry kalonji for a little while.

Add green chillies and saute for a while.

Add all the dry ingredients (masala) and fry for a while.

Add little water just to create a paste of the masala.

Add the veggies and little water. Saute for 5 mins.

Add the fish and let it absorb the flavour of the masala (roughly 2 to 3 mins).

Add water to help the veggies and fish cook enough for roughly 5 to 7 mins.

Add fresh coriander leaves and let it boil for 2 mins in the gravy.

Deep fry the Bori / Vadiyam in a different tawa and then add them to the fish curry. Give it a quick boil so that the crispies soak in a little gravy. Do not over boil as otherwise it will soak up the gravy too much and will become soggy.

Plate in a bowl, add some more fresh coriander and serve it with hot plain rice.
