• Tamarind pulp    -  1/2 cup

• Sliced onion    -  1 cup
• Lemon juice    -  1/4 cup

• Oil for frying    -  1 cup
• Salt to taste

Method

Fry onion till nicely brown and crispy. Clean and wash fish. Marinate with black pepper powder , lemon juice, salt, coriander powder and a little oil. Keep for 10 minutes. If its a sliced king fish you can also add 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste. In a large pan, add rice to boiling water ( first add enough water for rice to cook ) stir in fried onions, tamarind pulp, salt, black peeper powder and garam masala. Cover if needed. Cook on low flame till done. Fry fish in rest of the oil, and keep over the rice (u can add the remaining oil in the cooked rice and stir gently ). If you add a small piece of fish in the rice pan while cooking, it would enhance  the taste.
