We Sindhis are very find of fish, and all its different styles. As a result, we’d like to think we’re better at making it than most.
I learned the recipe for Siyaal Machli from my grandmother. It is a beautiful-looking and delicious dish. I am sure that once you try my recipe at home, you’ll never go out to eat steamed fish again!
Ingredients:
- Dambhra fish - Half a kg
- Onions - 3, medium sized, cut into strips

- Oil - ¼ cup
- Salt - half a tablespoon
- Red chilli powder - half a tablespoon
- Turmeric powder - half a teaspoon
- Coriander powder - half a tablespoon
- Garam masala powder- half a teaspoon
Instructions:
- Add oil and tamarind paste and whole spices in a bowl and mix well till it becomes a thick paste
- Apply this paste to one side of the fish pieces
- Take a daikchi and add ¼ cup oil, then add to it onions, capsicum, potatoes,salt, chillies, chilli powder and turmeric powder
- Mix on a medium flame for 10 mins, then place fish pieces on onions and add 1 glass of water
