Jeeru Marri Fish

Ingredients:
fish slices (pomfret, rohu, katla, mahaser - any)
whole jeera
whole pepper
garlic
green chillies
salt
haldi
degi / kashmiri chilli powder
Method:
Coarsely powder whole jeera and pepper(will powder better if soaked for few hours). Add garlic, green chillies, chilli powder, salt and haldi and grind to a coarse paste. Apply to fish and keep aside for at least 1/2 hour or more.
Put oil in pan. Arrange fish side by side. Put pan on high heat - then cover and cook on low heat till fish is done. Do not use spoon to stir. Shake the pan occasionally. If you wish to have gravy- add water and boil till oil floats. Garnish with hara dhaniya.
Hint: Can also be cooked dry by cooking on low heat and covered but with water in the lid which will form steam and cook the fish. This may need little more oil than above.
