Blend all the ingredients to a paste using a little water if needed. Keep this green masala paste aside.
Heat up the oil in a pan. When hot, add in one chopped onion, fry the onion till slightly brown.
Add the ground paste, tamarind, and salt. Fry till the raw smell goes away and the oil floats on top, maybe around 10 minutes on low flame.
Put the pieces of fish in and cover them with a little masala. Cover with a lid and cook.
After 5 to 8 minutes the fish should be cooked. Drizzle some tomato ketchup on top or garnish with sliced tomatoes and cilantro. Serve hot with rice, bread, or paratha.
