Do not burn the masala. Place the fish pieces in the pan and stir careful without breaking them.Place the lid and let the fish cook in its own steam for 5 minutes on low flame. Remove the fish carefully and place them in a plate or bowl. Now in the remaining oil, add bay leaf, chopped onions and sauté till onions are translucent. Add desiccated coconut and fry till raw smell goes off. Now add lemon juice, peas and carrots and fry for another couple of minutes. Add cooked rice and mix well such that the flavours incorporate and infuse completely. Now add fried fish chunks into the rice, give a quick stir. Garnish with fresh spring onion greens or coriander and serve hot! Serve Assamese Fish Fried Rice on its own or pair it with a Tomato Onion Cucumber Raita for your everyday meal.
