Notes:

• Don't over cook the fish while shallow frying, as it will break down.
• You can skip shallow frying the fish. But it will add more taste to the curry. 
• You can also make fish pieces instead of using the whole fish. 
• The consistency of the fish curry can be as per your preference. 

The curry gets tastier as the resting period increases!!!
