Fish (preferably small, cut into small pieces) ; 1 cup (Works great with shrimp too) ; Sliced onions: 1/2 cup ; Chili powder/paste (red) 1 tsp ; Turmeric powder/paste 1 tsp ; Onion paste 2 tbsp ; Ginger paste 1/8 tsp ; Pepper paste 1/4 tsp ; Shredded dhania leaves (cilantro) 1/4 tsp (more the merrier) ; Onion leaves 2 tbsp ; Oil 1/3 cup ; Salt 1 tsp ; Tomato 2 medium (this is optional) ;

Directions:

Out here in the land of non- Bangladeshi fish, try shrimp or any fresh-water fish cut into very small pieces. After heating the oil add all the powder/paste spices and fry for a couple of minutes. You might add a little bit of water if you are using powders only. Make sure you don't burn the spices. (Include the onion pastes) Add the shredded onions and the fish. Add 1/2 cup of water and the salt. Cover the dish and medium-hi heat. When the water has almost evaporated, add tomatoes, cilantro, and the onion leaves. Heat under low-medium heat till the oil starts to float.
