Theres no 'curry gravy' going on here.

Best fish for Fish Biryani: Bone-in fish steaks hold up really well in Biryani dishes.

I like to use salmon, halibut or king fish steaks.

If you do not like bone-in fish, use thick fish fillet of salmon, halibut or king fish.

Place the fish in a non stick pan, add half cup yogurt, carom seeds, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, half teaspoon garam masala powder, green chillies, garlic paste, ginger paste, sliced onions (crushed lightly with hands), fried onions, salt, half the fresh mint leaves, fresh coriander leaves and lemon juice and mix well.
