Simple Fish curry

This is a very simple fish curry preparation that i got from my mom. The taste of this dish doubles, if we prepare this in an earthern pot. If you don't have one, no worries, you can make it in a kadai also.

The fish used for this curry is either small fish or thin, small pieces of any fish.
