This fish curry I make quite often. It's totally heart warming and more than that it's very easy-to-make and take only 4 minutes of cooking time(off course in microwave) and about 30 minutes of preperation time.
Coriander(dhaniya) and coconut(natiyel) is a never-go-wrong combo for fish dishes and together they create a heart-warmingly flavourful dish. Any kind of sweet water fish, like Salmon, carp(rohu), Tilapia, catfish will work for this recipe. I tried this with Rohu and tilapia and it tasted equally good with both the fishes. Next time I'll try this recipe with Bengali's favorite fish, Hilsa.
Ingredients :
Fish : 4 pieces
For marination
Ginger-garlic paste : 1 tblsp.
Lemon juice : 1 tsp.
Salt to rub on the fish
Turmeric powder : 1 tsp.

Fresh coconut(grated) : 1/2 cup
Fresh coriander leaves(chopped) : 1/2 cup
green chilli : 1
