you can get mackarel in the US – both Boston & Spanish kind in any fish market.

You can get Pomfret in Chinatown , also fresh Bombil ($5.99 per lb.- I usually buy 4-5 lbs , crisp fry/ freeze them) from China. Used to get black pomfret – Halwa but no more. Also, in Chinatown, live shrimp from US – $11 a pound but well worth it. Check out Chinatowns for these fish – also Surmai aka Kingfish which is really a large Macarel.

This recipe was written long ago when I was in India, the onions I used there were very small compared to ones available in US. i will update the recipe with measurements in cups.

Hi Shilpa,
I was trying this recipe.
I have a question for you.
The cinnamon stick must be in the ground masala paste right?
I added it to the paste.
Sorry I am new to this. Appreciate your help.

Shilpa: Yes, that is right.
