Method

9 steps · 1h 32m

01
Prepare the Fish
If you're using rohu fish, which often comes frozen, let it soak in cold water for 30-45 minutes to defrost. While it's still a little firm, descale it, cut each steak into quarters, and wash it a few times in cold saltwater. Drain and set aside.
For an alternative like cod, cut it into 2 ½ inch chunks, then rinse, drain, and set aside.
02
Prepare the Daikon
Top and tail the daikon, then peel it with a potato peeler. Cut it in half widthways, then slice each half down the middle, lengthways. Now, cut these into 2cm-thick half-moon pieces. Rinse and set aside.
03
Sauté Garlic
Place a large, shallow saucepan over medium heat and add the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the crushed garlic and stir for about a minute, until it turns a pale golden.
04
Cook Onion Paste
Add the onion paste and salt, then cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
05
Simmer Onion
Pour in 200ml of water, then cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes, stirring once or twice.
06
Cook Spices and Daikon
After 10 minutes, add the ground spices and stir for a couple of minutes to cook them through. Cover and cook for 5 minutes over a low heat.
Stir in the daikon. After about a minute, add another 200ml of water. Cover and cook for 10 minutes on a medium heat.
07
Add Fish
Add the fish pieces to the pan and mix thoroughly, ensuring the fish is coated in the spices. Gently shake the pan, then cover and cook for 5 minutes on medium heat. It's important not to stir the pot after this point to keep the fish intact.
08
Add Hot Water
Meanwhile, boil some water.
After the 5 minutes are up, carefully pour 500ml of hot water into the pan. Pour it along the sides of the pan to avoid pouring boiling water directly onto the fish.
09
Simmer and Serve
Give the pan a gentle shake, then cover and simmer over high heat for 15 minutes. Add the chopped coriander and chilies, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and serve immediately with rice and the lime wedges.
