To begin, grind together the spices for the marinade in a pestle and mortar or electric grinder. Rub all over the fish fillets and leave to marinate for about an hour
Heat the oil in a wok over a medium heat and fry the onions until browned and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Set aside
Using the same oil, pop in the nigella seeds, cumin seeds and dried red chilli. When they start to splutter, add the ginger and garlic and cook until lightly browned, do not let the ginger and garlic burn. Add the lime pickle and green chillis and cook for a further minute
Stir in the yoghurt and cook on a medium heat until the oil separates from the curry sauce and the yoghurt is cooked through. Add a splash of water if the curry is getting too thick. Add the fish and onions, cover and cook on a low heat until the fish is nearly cooked through
Sprinkle over the spice mix, cover and cook for a final 2-
