Masala sliced
Remove the stems and cut the green chillies length wise.   Also, slice some garlic and ginger.

Grind,  jeera, mustard seed and kuskus, turmeric, garlic and ginger.
Coconut Milk:
Grind the coconut  fine, and extract coconut milk. 
For seasoning:
Slice onions, for frying.  Brown the sliced onions slightly in half cup of sweet oil in a vessel large enough to hold the fish pieces.   Add the ground masala and fry till the raw smell goes.   Put in 2 tables spoons of vinegar.  Let it cook for five minutes.
Add the sliced masala (green chillies, sliced garlic and ginger) and fry a little more.

Now put the fish, previously cleaned, washed and entrails removed. If the sardines are big, cut them to a suitable size.   Simmer for a while cooking on a slow fire.   Do not stir with the spoon.   But occasionally, shake the pan to keep the fish from burning.   Add the coconut milk last.

Do not cover the pan, after the coconut milk is added because it tends to curdle   Put the fire off, when the fish is cooked.
