Pomfret Fish Spicy Red Curry Indian Style

Being a bengali, fish is one of the items which I cannot ignore at all. And when it comes to Pomfret, I love all the preparations, either its fried , with mustard or curry. We can cook this sea food in a relatively simple way and does not require much effort but the marination is the key as it can really give depth of flavour which is what we need in this recipe . Today we are making this fish in a bit different way, or you can say in my style, with a spicy red gravy.
