Heat oil in a sauce pan or clay pot and add mustard seeds. Once it pops, add onion and curry leaves. Sauté till it softens and add crushed ginger garlic. Sauté for another two minutes.

Add ingredients 7-10 and sauté it until the oil separates. Add ground coconut paste with two cups of hot water and stir well. When it boils, add fish, mango and salt. Stir very gently to make sure that the fish pieces are smothered in gravy. For more gravy, add desired quantity of water.
