Alternative : Instead of fish you can use eggs / Any kind of meat / kheema / vegetables .If using any of these,cook before adding to the masala.For meat like chicken which cooks fast,no need to precook before adding to the masala.If Using eggs,boil,remove shell,cut it in to half and place each half instead of fish.
