Spicy Fish Fry with Mustard-Onion paste

Last month when I visited my aunt's place , she made this wonderful Fish fry with mustard and onion paste. I liked it so much I tried it out back home and everybody loved it including my parents.  In Bengali, this fish is called Rangi Ruli. Unfortunately could not figure out the english name :-( , but this is a Oily fish like Salmon, Herring, Trout or Sardines. Can use any one of them as a substitute.

• 1 tsp turmeric powder
