For the gravy:

a pan.
2)Add mustard seeds and when they splutter, add the chopped onions, few
curry leaves and split green chilies and stir fry.
3)Add a mixture of turmeric, chilly powder and paprika powder in half
a cup of water and allow it to cook.
4)When the oil begins to clear, add the remaining spices previously ground,
half a cup of `puli water` and sufficient additional water to make enough
gravy to cover all the fish pieces when cooking subsequently.
5)Add salt and cook until the gravy is thick. Keep this aside.
For cooking the fish in the gravy:
1)Take a fairly large frying pan.
2)Prepare a bed of curry leaves.
3)Arrange the pieces of fish on this bed.
4)Pour the previously prepared gravy over this. The pieces of fish should
be completely covered.
5)Add the remaining curry leaves and
`PULI `pieces , cover with a lid and cook slowly. Do not stir.
:- If necessary, you can lift the frying pan by it`s handle and give
it a gentle rotating or rocking motion during cooking to spread the gravy
evenly. Stop cooking when the fish pieces are cooked sufficiently and
the gravy is thick.
:- This preparation is best after it sits for a day or two to allow time
for the spices to get in to the fish. In the old days they used `CHATTIES`
made of "MANNU" to keep the fish curry in .The curry got better
as it stayed in the chatty for some reason..
