In a kadai add a teaspoon of oil and when the oil heats up, toss the chopped onions into it. When they turn golden brown add slit green chilies, then add the ground paste and fry for 5 minutes.

Add the de boned mackerel pieces and mix gently so that they do not break into small pieces. Add salt and cook for another 5 minutes. Serve hot.
