 Corn oil3 Tablespoon
 5 green chillies, slit down one side and deseeded
 Curry leaves6
 Large pinch of onion seeds
 Large pinch of mustard seeds

 1 teaspoon ginger pulp
 1 teaspoon garlic pulp
 Chilli powder1 Teaspoon (Leveled)
 Salt To Taste
 Lemon juice1 Tablespoon
 115 g / 4 oz mushrooms, sliced
 1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander leaves, plus more whole leaves for garnish

Directions

1. When you have prepared the cod by rinsing it and patting it dry, leave it in the refrigerator so the pieces stay firm.
2. Heat the oil in a kadahi, wok or deep frying pan and fry the green chillies for about 1 minute. Remove them from the pan, draining off as much oil as possible, and drain further on paper towels.
3. Gently stir-fry the pieces of cod over a moderate heat for about 1 1/2 minutes and carefully remove from the pan. Keep warm.
4. In the remaining oil over a moderate heat, fry the curry leaves, onion and mustard seeds and the sliced onions for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Pour in the ginger, garlic, chilli powder, salt and lemon juice, followed by the mushrooms. Stir to mix everything together. Return to the pan the cod and the fried green chillies, followed by the chopped coriander. Mix again gently. Lower the heat, cover the pan and cook gently for 5-7 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure the mixture doesn't catch.
