Method

Clean the fish pieces; thinly slice the fresh bamboo shoot and parboil briefly to remove bitterness.
Heat a little oil in a pan; add cumin seeds and let them crackle.
Add chopped onion and saute lightly -- Naga cooking keeps oil and spice minimal.
Add ginger-garlic paste and stir for a minute.
Add chopped tomato with the turmeric, red chilli powder and coriander powder; cook briefly.
Add the parboiled bamboo shoot and enough water to make a thin broth; bring to a boil.
Gently add the fish pieces and simmer on low heat for 12-15 minutes until the fish is cooked and the bamboo shoot is tender, keeping the broth thin and light.
Season with salt, finish with coriander leaves, and serve hot with rice.
