Fish Masala Curry

A lovely & simple recipe again frm ma mom...Goes well with chappathis, porottas, appams...or any such stuffs. This is a semi-gravy dish....There's no too much gravy . The procedure is the same as we do it for Fish biriyani; but we don't cook onion more. We can see onion slices separated from each other. So simple & quite delicious !
