Critical Success Points
• Roast peanuts, coconut, and sesame seeds carefully to avoid burning.
• Blend masala paste until smooth.
• Add fish gently and avoid over-stirring to prevent breaking.
• Cook fish just until done; overcooking will make it tough.
Safety Warnings
• Hot oil may splutter when adding mustard seeds and curry leaves. Stand back and use a splatter guard if needed.
• Fish bones may be present; check and remove before serving, especially for children.
