I usually do this recipe with hacked thun fish available in tins. But we can also use normal fresh thun fish. Cook the fish in steam and hack it before use.

• Garam masala powder- 1/2 teaspoon
• salt

For seasoning:

• Oil- 1 table spoon
• Mustard -1 teaspoon
• Urad dhal- 1teaspoon
• Curry leaves

Method:

• Cook the thun fish in steam and hack it into very small pieces. Keep it aside.
• Add oil in the tava.
• Once oil is heated add all the seasoning items.
• Add the onions and a pinch of salt. Fry it till golden brown.
  
• Add ginger garlic powder/paste , turmeric powder, chilli powder, coriander powder.
• Once the onions are well cooked, add the cooked hacked fish to the tava and mix it well.
• Finally add garam masala powder and cook it in sim flame under closed lid for 5 mins.(sprinkle some water and salt, if needed)
• The thun fish curry should be dry.
