Method:

This process is done to avoid the fish pieces to break while cooking in the tamrind sauce.
In pan heat oil and add chopped onions and saute for few mits.
Now add chopped green onions and green chillies.
Fry till onions turn golden brown and add haldi, salt, chilli powder, cumin and dhaniya powder.
Mix well and add tamrind juice.
Now cook on medium flame till oil appears on the top of juice.
