My mom Fish Curry with lady finger

My favourite fish curry is the one which comes with the whole fish including the head but most people do not like the whole fish as there are so many bone so you can get white fish fillet in any supermarket. Get a slightly thick fish fillet not too thin as they will break apart when you cook them. As shown in the picture would be good. 

• 4-5 pcs of White fish fillet
• 4 tbsp fish curry powder
• 2-3 tsp chili powder (optional if you like it hot you add otherwise u can skip this)
• 1 Onion - sliced
• 3 Garlic- chopped
• 1 tbs brown mustard seed 
• 10 Lady Fingers - trimmed halves
• 1 tomato cut into 4
• Curry leaves
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 2 star anise
• 1 cup tamarind juice
• 1/2 cup coconut milk
• 1 chili halves (optional)
• Salt to taste
• Vegetable oil for cooking

3. Add onions and garlic, fry around 1 to 2 mins.
4. Add in fish curry powder and stir evenly continuously stirred for approx 10 minutes (the paste should not stick on the pot).
5. When the oil rises up, add in the lady fingers and fish.
