King fish is best for curry eventhough you can use any fish like croaker, rock fish, red snapper etc.
King fish-cut into 1" pieces ( you can get fresh in asian stores, or you can get frozen in indian stores. wash it with salt and lime juice after cutting into pieces and drain)- 1 pound
chilly powder - 2tsp ( if you use kashmiri chilly powder the color will be better)
shallots- thinly sliced - 1cup
ginger thinly sliced -1-2 tsp
garlic thinly sliced -1-2 tsp
mustard seeds- 1/2 tsp
fenugreek seeds- 1/2 tsp
curry leaves -2-3 sprigs
kudampuli- 2-3 slices
turmeric- a pinch
oil- as needed
salt- as needed

method
in a pan, put some oil ( any oil can be used, but if you want the real nadan taste you should use coconut oil.) When it heats up, put the mustard seeds, when it splutters put shallots, ginger and garlic. saute for some time. in the mean time make a paste of cilly powder and a pinch of turmeric powder with some water. when the sallots becomes transparent, put the chilly paste into the oil, keep the flame low and stirr continuously so that it won't get burned. fry it until you get good red color. put 2-3 cups of water into it and also the curry leaves and sliced kudampuli and close with a lid. when it comes to a boil, put the fish pieces, put salt and cook. when it is done, if the gravy is too much to can cook keeping the lid open for some time.

In the mean time, dry roast the fenugreek seeds, make a powder. when the fish is almost cooked, put the fenugreek powder into it. You can put the fenugreek seeds along with mustard at the beginning instead of powdering. When it is done, turn off the stove and pour 2 tsp of coconut oil on top of it, keep lid closed until served.

Tip- if you want the real nadan taste
1) make sure you clean the fish well with a lot of salt and lime juice
2) use earthern vessel
3) use coconut oil only
4) put lots of curry leaves
5) For some reason, the curry will taste better if you use it next day.
