Fish curry (Fish with light gravy)

This fish curry is my mother's specialty and one of my favourite dishes. Its very simple and fast to cook. Fish can be cooked in many ways. But with adding of Indian spices, it will be more tasty and yummy. Among all the non veg, fish is very best for health. I like the fish more than chicken and mutton. I am sure that you can enjoy with this fish curry a lot.
