Method

Clean and cut the salmon steak into 3″ size cubes.  Soak the tamarind in half a cup of water.  Heat oil in a pan and splutter mustard seeds.  Then fry the onions, ginger, garlic, green chillies and curry leaves till onions turn light brown.  Add the chilly, turmeric and coriander powders and fry for a minute.  Add the tomato paste, salt and the tamarind extract and mix well.  Pour one and a half cups of water.  When it boils, add the fish pieces and cook covered for 10 minutes on a medium flame.  Open the lid and let it simmer for another 10 minutes more.  Stir occasionally without breaking the fish pieces.  Put off the fire once the gravy is thick and the oil starts floating on top of the curry.  Heart-healthy fish curry is ready to be served!

Instead of coriander powder, you can also add curry powder, fish masala or chicken masala!
