You can add any type of shell fish in here too like shrimp and scallops as well. Clean whole fish from head to tail removing the scales then the gills. Cut the fish’s belly open with a boning knife and remove the insides and wash until all of the blood is removed from the fish and add 1 capful of lemon juice and set aside in the refridgerator.
In a cast iron skillet on high heat then t add either 1/4 cup of either corn, canola or vegetable oils and add 3 tbs of coconut oil. Add 1 pinch each of mustard seeds, fennel seeds, cumin seeds, shai zeera and let it crackle. Add 4 pinches of unsweetened frozen coconut or dessicated coconut, the contents in the mortar and pestle which is the fish masala and grind 1 pinch each of coriander seeds and black peppercorns. Add to the cast iron skillet and stir. Add 1 pinch each of turmeric, hing and red chili powder.
