Ingredients

1 large fish head (such as snapper or cod)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
2-3 fresh red or green chili peppers, chopped (adjust to taste)
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Instructions

Clean the fish head thoroughly, removing any scales and gills. Cut it into manageable pieces, leaving the eyes intact if desired.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
Add minced garlic and chopped chili peppers. Stir well and cook for another minute until the garlic is fragrant.
Add the chopped bell pepper to the pan and cook for a few minutes until slightly softened.
Sprinkle ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, salt, and pepper over the vegetables. Stir to combine and let the spices toast for a minute.
Place the fish head pieces on top of the spiced vegetables in the pan. Gently press them down to ensure good contact with the spices.
Cover the pan and let the fish cook for about 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish head pieces. Flip the pieces halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking.
Once the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, remove the lid and let any excess liquid evaporate to thicken the sauce.
Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves before serving.
