First clean the fish, cut it into pieces. Marinate it with turmeric, red chilli powder, salt.keep it aside.

Cut onions into thin slices, tomatoes into small cubes.

Heat pan,add 3-4 tablespoons of pure ghee.and sauté the rice. On other stove start heating the water.to it add 1 teaspoon of aniseed, salt, 2-3 elakka, bay leaves and karambu patta. Allow to boil

Once rice is roasted a bit, quickly add boiled water, give a stirr and close the lid let it cook.. Also add 1 tsp of lime juice to this.

Now heat another pan add ghee sauté onion, when it turns slight brown add ginger garlic paste green chilli pasted.sauté again till it's nicely cooked.to this add garam masalA(I used home made garam masala)

On other hand check rice, when it's done off the flame. Now start frying the fish. Meanwhile continue saluting the onion masala

To this mixture add tomatoes.tomatoes are usually added to balence ginger garlic tSte. You can add meat masala also if you required.add according to the taste.

To this add the fish. Mix well. Don't stir as it will break the fish. Just mix by putting masala on top of fish. Add chopped coriander leaves to this and close lid for 1 min.also can squeeze few lime juice a lil bit

After that off flame and start layering masalas and rice. After layering heat it in medium flame.then off and serve.

I have added only garam masala to tis that how my mom makes at home and it taste superb.

If you want to add meat masala or biriyani masala you can add it before adding tomatoes. So that even if the quantity of masala u added is more or less you can balence it with adding lore or less tomatoes.
