- Step 2. Heat oil in a pan over medium flame and once the oil is hot enough, add the marinated fish pieces to it one by one. Fry for a minute and then in the same pan add ground onion paste. Saute till the raw smell disappears. Now, add the whisked curd along with garam masala powder and stir well.
