PREPARATION METHOD

Wash fish pieces well in water. (Click here to know how to wash fish pieces properly)
Then steam the fish pieces using any vessel/provision for 5 minutes. (I used idli pan to steam the fishes, just place the fish pieces on the idly plates, pour some water in the pan and place the plates inside the pan and steam them as you would do for making idlis. You can also use any pot to steam fish pieces. Do not boil the fish pieces, only steam them).
Once it gets cooked remove all the fish bones from the fish pieces and shred them well using hands or a spoon.
Meanwhile, chop onions, green chillies, tear curry leaves and set them aside.
Then in a frying pan/wok add oil, after it heats up add mustard seeds and let it splutter.
Then add cumin seeds, urad dal (ulutham paruppu), and saute for a minute until the urad dal turns slightly brownish.
Then add curry leaves, chopped ginger, garlic and green chillies and saute well for a minute.
Now add the chopped onions, salt, turmeric powder and saute well until onions become translucent.
Then add cumin powder and pepper powder and stir well.
Now add the shredded fish pieces and saute well. Stir frequently.
Cook for 3 minutes on a low flame.
Remove from flame and Serve!!
