Authentic Sindhi-Hindu Raswali Machi — surmai (kingfish) marinated in salt-turmeric-chilli, lightly shallow-fried, then simmered in a fresh green gravy of coriander-garlic-green-chilli paste with tomato puree. 'Ras-vari' means 'with gravy' in Sindhi. Distinct from Bengali Macher Jhol (which uses kalonji and mustard) — Sindhi fish curry leads with fresh coriander-garlic green masala. Served with chapati or pulao. Methi leaves at the end give the signature finish.

Ise raswali machhi, rasedar machli naam se bhi khoja jata hai.

Method

Clean and cut fish into thick pieces. Apply salt, turmeric (1/4 tsp), red chilli powder (1/2 tsp), and coriander powder (1/2 tsp). Set aside to marinate 1 hour.
Heat 1 tsp oil in a wide pan. Shallow-fry the marinated fish pieces 1-2 minutes per side until just lightly cooked on the outside (still tender inside). Remove and set aside.
Make green masala: in a blender, grind coriander leaves, spring onion (greens + small white), green chillies, garlic, and ginger into a coarse paste. Add 2 tbsp water if needed.
Heat remaining 1 tsp oil in a clean pan on medium-low. Add the green paste. Sauté on low heat 5-6 minutes until the raw smell goes and water content reduces.
Add remaining turmeric (1/4 tsp), remaining red chilli powder (1/2 tsp), remaining coriander powder (1/2 tsp), and salt. Sauté 2 minutes until oil starts to separate.
Add tomato puree. Cook on medium 4-5 minutes until oil separates clearly around the masala.
Gently slide the fried fish pieces into the masala. Coat them by spooning gravy over (don't stir aggressively). Cover and cook 5 minutes on low.
Add 1.5 cups water to reach desired gravy consistency. Bring to a gentle boil, cover, and simmer 8-10 minutes on low — gently flipping fish halfway.
Sprinkle chopped fresh fenugreek (methi) leaves. Switch off heat. Rest covered 2 minutes. Serve hot with chapati or plain pulao.
