Start by preparing the rice. Transfer the brown rice, water, and salt to a pressure cooker and pressure cook for 7 whistles or until done. Keep it aside once it’s done.
Pre-heat the air fryer at 400°F for 5 minutes.
Take a blender and add the onions, ginger, garlic, red chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Blend it into a smooth paste. The paste has to be thick in consistency so that you can put it on the fish. If the paste is too thick, add a little bit of water.
Take the fishes on a plate and add the marinade and properly apply on the fishes.
Next, spray the air fryer basket with oil. Put the marinated fish inside the air fryer.
Air fry the fishes at 350°F for 15-20 minutes or until they are properly cooked.
Now, for the fish curry, heat the coconut oil in a pan. Once the oil is hot enough, add the mustard seeds and the curry leaves.
Add in the green chilies next.
Add the onions and the ginger garlic paste and saute them until they turn translucent.
Next goes in the tomatoes and the tamarind paste. Saute for 2 minutes.
Add the spices next and mix well.
Next, add the coconut milk and water and mix well. Let the curry simmer.
Add the air fried fish into the curry and let it simmer for 2 minutes at low flame. You can adjust the consistency of the curry as per your choice. You can either add more water or simmer it for some more time to have a thick consistency.
Serve hot with prepared brown rice.
