Heat soybean oil in a frying pan.
Fry the marinated pabda fish gently on both sides until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Make the Tomato Paste:
Blend 3 tomatoes with 1 tablespoon vinegar and 1 tablespoon green chili paste.
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan.
Add the tomato mixture and cook until the raw smell disappears and the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Curry:
In a clean cooking pan, heat ½ cup mustard oil.
Add bay leaves, dried red chilies, and fenugreek seed paste. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
Add the yogurt paste and stir continuously to avoid curdling.
