Once the oil is sufficiently hot and smell starts coming then transfer the oil to a bowl and keep it aside for use. (If using olive oil then you can directly pour it by skipping this process. Traditionally mustard oil is used for this dish because of it's flavour.) Then place the fish pieces on the pan..
- Now with the help of a teaspoon pour half teaspoon oil on each fish piece (you can pour more or less oil depending on the size of the fish piece). Then pour 1 teaspoon oil around the pan. Cover with lid and cook for 3mins. Remove the lid and keep aside. Turn the fish pieces by using tongs, repeat the process of adding oil on the fish pieces and pan, cover and cook for 3mins. Remove lid and keep aside..
- Turn the fish pieces using tongs, fry for 2 mins without covering the lid. Now again turn them to the other side and fry for 2mins. Fry till the fish pieces get roasted on each side..
