Dredge fish pieces in a mixture of salt and turmeric on a plate.

Heat remaining oil and fry mustard seeds in a covered pan until they pop.

Add grated onion and curry leaves to the pan and fry for 5 minutes.

Stir in tomatoes, ginger, garlic, chilli, and garam masala and fry for 4 minutes.

Mix in coconut cream and simmer until the sauce thickens, adding water if needed.

Incorporate the fried fish into the sauce and cook until heated through.
