Start by marinating the fish with salt and turmeric powder for 30 minutes. In a pan, heat the oil and add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Once they start to splutter, add the chopped onion, green chilies, and grated ginger. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the onion is translucent.
Next, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Then add the chopped tomato and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the tomato is soft and mushy. Add the red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for another minute.
Now add the marinated fish to the pan and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally to ensure the fish is evenly coated with the sauce.
Garnish with cilantro and serve hot with steamed rice or any other accompaniment of your choice.
