Method

1. 1 Marinate the fish with turmeric powder and salt for 10 minutes.
2. 2 Heat mustard oil until very hot, then fry the fish for 2 minutes on each side, remove and set aside.
3. 3 Add cumin powder and ginger to a pan with oil, stir for 1 minute to release the aroma.
4. 4 Add the sliced potatoes, tomatoes, chili powder, and 300 ml of water, and cook for 12 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
5. 5 Add the fish and green peppers and simmer for 6 minutes, sprinkle with cilantro, then turn off the heat.

With an appliance

• Oven 47 min

  Replace step 5: place the fish in a covered pot and simmer at 175 degrees for 7 minutes; the cooking time is almost the same as on a stovetop, but the fish doesn't break apart easily, and the potatoes from step 4 are still cooked through. The sealed pot retains water, so the soup is slightly thinner.
