• Add lemon juice, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, green chillies and half of coriander seeds in the blender and blend again.
• Heat 1tsp oil in a frying pan. Now add onions and cook on medium flame for 1 minute till the onions become golden brown.
• Now add the blended masala and mix well. Cook for few seconds and then add tomatoes. Sprinkle salt and garam masala. Cook till the water evaporates from the pan. Put the pan off flame after it is cooked.
• Heat 1 tsp oil in another frying pan. Cook the fish fillets for a minute. Make sure both the sides turn little brown. Frying the fish fillets brings down the pungent smell of the seafood.
• Grease the baking dish with oil. Coat the fish fillets with the masala and spread on the fish. Fill the baking dish with coated fish fillets and spread the leftover masala over them.
• Cover the dish with a foil and bake for 25 minutes. Take them out after baking. Now grill them in a broiler for 1-2 minutes.
