Method
Cooking Instructions: Grind the masala ingredients with the vinegar to a fine paste. (Do not use water; only vinegar)

Heat oil & fry the tomato paste well.

Add the masala paste & fry well for 5 mins.

Add 1/4 cup water & bring it to a boil.

When it boils, wash the fish pieces and add.

Simmer covered for 6-8 mins and then cook open to dry it up a bit.

(Ambot-tik is not a very fluid runny curry, its more thick and almost dry at times)

Adjust salt, vinegar, pepper/cumin/red-chili powders to taste if needed and simmer for 1 min.

Serve hot with steamed rice.
