Steps:

• Marinate fish with ½ tbsp ginger garlic paste, ⅛ tsp turmeric, ¼ tsp red chilli powder & ¼ tsp salt.
• On a flat fry pan, heat 1 tsp oil. Fry fish pieces slightly until the raw smell goes away just for 2 to 3 mins on both sides. You can also sear the fish. Keep this aside. (refer picture below)
• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pot and add cumin. When they sputter, add onions and saute until lightly golden.
• Next add ginger garlic paste and saute for 30 seconds. Add tomatoes & ½ tsp salt. Saute until tomatoes turn soft and mushy.
• Next add coconut, fennel seeds (optional), red chili powder & turmeric. Fry until the mixture turns fragrant & raw smell has gone away.

• Add 1 tbsp more oil to the same pot used earlier. Heat up on a low flame.
• When the oil turns slightly hot, add curry leaves & green chilies.
• When they splutter, add the ground onion tomato paste and garam masala. Fry until the mixture smells good. If you feel it is not hot enough for your taste, then add more chilli powder at this stage & saute.
• Pour 1 ¼ to 1½ cup water. Mix and bring it to a boil. Cook until you see traces of oil on the surface and the gravy thickens a bit.
• Gently slide the fish pieces and cook covered on a medium heat.
• Carefully flip or turn the pieces to the other side after 3 to 4 mins.
• Cook until the fish pieces bulge a bit. This is the indication they are cooked completely. Taste the curry and add more salt if needed.

Steps:

• Combine the rice with 1 3/4 cups water and the sliced ginger in a medium saucepan; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 16 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thyme, bell peppers, onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, the garlic and grated ginger and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Stir in the curry powder and cook until toasted, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until saucy, 6 to 7 minutes.
• Season the fish with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and nestle the fish in the sauce. Cover and cook, turning the fish halfway through, until just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Discard the ginger from the rice and divide the rice among bowls. Top with the fish and discard the thyme. Top with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
