- Heat the oil over medium high heat in a wok. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the fish and sear in the wok. Remove the fish once browned on both sides and set aside.
- Add the mustard and coriander seeds to the oil and sauté until they pop, about 20 seconds. Add the onion and green chilies and sauté until soft, about 3 minutes.
- Add the garlic and sauté 1 minute more. Add the Chile powder, ground ginger, curry powder and turmeric. Cook 1 minute and then add in the tomatoes and cook 2-3 minutes longer, or until the tomatoes start to break down. Add about 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Puree the sauce with an immersion blender until smooth. Add the desired amount of coconut milk (the more you add, the less spicy the sauce will be).
- Cut the seared fish into 1 inch pieces and return to the sauce. Allow the sauce to simmer until the fish cooks through and the sauce reduces by 1/3, about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve hot with white rice and garnish with fresh dill.
