Trout with Potatoes and Cauliflower (aloo kophi diye maacher jhol)

Cut cauliflower and potatoes into big pieces
Heat oil in a pan. Add 1/2 tsp salt and fry the potatoes and cauliflower. Turn down the heat to medium.
Cover with a lid and leave it on the gas.

Add salt and turmeric to the fish pieces.
Take another container, heat oil to fry the fish pieces. Add a bit of salt to the oil before frying the fish. It prevents them from getting stuck to the pan.

In the container that potatoes and cauliflower were being cooked in, add turmeric, coriander, cumin, ginger, chili powder, finely chopped tomatoes (a little) and a bit of water. Make sure the whole thing is "makha-makha"
Cover this and turn the heat to medium.

Go back to frying fish pieces.
Keep stirring the other pan intermittently.
It the water has dried up, add some more hot water and sugar and cover it again
After a while, add in the rest of the water needed for the curry
Turn the heat to high and let it boil. Turn the heat down the medium once it starts boiling

Add in the fish to this when the veggies are mostly done.
Turn the heat back to high and let it boil.
Add in salt and sugar as needed
Turn down the gas (or up) to get the right consistency of the curry.
