Salt fish balucha  

HOW TO PREPARE: - Mince the onions and green chillies and keep it aside. Wash the fish well and let it soak in saline water for ten minutes. Remove from water and apply turmeric powder and a little salt. Now take a frying pan and pour oil enough for shallow frying. When the oil is very hot add the fish pieces slowly and fry till the fish is done. Remove from flame and let it cool. Once it’s cool remove the thorns and mince the flesh. Now the frying pan and bring that same oil to heat again and then add the onions and fry till they are dark brown. Put in the ginger garlic paste, green chillies and sauté till the raw smell leaves. Add the cumin powder, red chilly powder and sauté till the oil begins to leave the edges of the pan. Mix in the tamarind juice and add the minced fish. Now stir well and let it cook till the gravy is as thick as chutney. Remove from flame and let it cool. Once it’s cool bottle it and refrigerate.
