Spicy Silver fish curry

Mustard oil is considered to be an oil that has low saturated fat as compared to other cooking oils. In this curry, mustard oil and mustard powder is added. This gives a unique flavor along the red chilli. See that you heat mustard oil almost to smoking before frying onions into them. You can have this along boiled rice, or chapati/Idli.
