Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium. Add cumin seeds; when they sizzle and pop, add sliced onion.
Step 2
Cook onion until softened and edges turn golden, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Cook for 60 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Add turmeric and salt to taste. Whisk yogurt in a separate bowl, then slowly pour into the skillet while stirring to avoid curdling.
Step 5
Reduce heat to medium-low. Lay fish fillets in the sauce. Cover and simmer until fish flakes easily, about 8 minutes.
Step 6
Serve hot over steamed rice or with warm naan bread.
