  2. Once marinated, heat some oil in a pan and shallow fry the marinated fish. Set aside.
  3. In another pan, heat the butter and fry the garlic until fragrant. Add the bird’s eye chillies and curry leaves. Keep on a low heat and fry for another minute.
  4. Add the Rajah Fish Masala, evaporated milk, salt and sugar. Season to taste.
  5. Once the mixture starts to thicken, add in the fried fish.
  6. Gently stir to keep the fish together.
