1. 1If you are using rohu fish it will usually be frozen.
2. 2Soak it in cold water for 30-45 minutes to defrost and while still a little firm, descale and cut each steak into quarters and wash in cold saltwater a few times. Drain and put to one side.
3. 3If using an alternative such as cod, cut into 2 ½ inch chunks then rinse, drain and set aside.
4. 4Top and tail the daikon and peel using a potato peeler. Cut in half widthways then cut each half down the middle, lengthways. Now slice the into 2cm-thick half-moon pieces. Rinse and set aside.
5. 5Lay the a large, shallow saucepan over a medium heat and add the oil. When the oil is hot add the crushed garlic and stir for a minute until pale golden.
6. 6Cook the onionsAdd the onion paste and salt and let it cook for 3-5 minutes, until the onion softens and becomes translucent, stirring occasionally.
7. 7Pour in 200ml of water then cover and leave to cook for 10 minutes, stirring once or twice.
8. 8After 10 minutes add the ground spices and stir for a couple of minutes so that the spices cook through. Cover and leave to cook for 5 minutes over a low heat then stir through the daikon.
9. 9After a minute or so add 200ml of water. Cover and cook for 10 minutes on a medium heat.
10. 10Add the fish pieces to the pan and stir until everything is combined so that the fish is coated in the spices. Gently shake the pan and cover and let it cook for 5 minutes on medium heat. It is very important not to stir the pot after this stage.
11. 11While that cooks, boil some water. After the 5 minutes are over carefully pour 500ml hot water into the pan. When doing this pour into the sides of the pan so that you don’t pour boiling water directly onto the fish.
12. 12Give the pan a gentle shake then cover and simmer over high heat for 15 minutes. Add the chopped coriander and chillies and continue cooking for another 5 minutes then turn off the heat.
