First of all rub the fish pieces with salt and turmeric powder and leave it for a few minutes.

During that time, make a thick paste of black mustard seeds by adding 1 or 2 green chilies (the number of chilies is according to your preferences)
Make the paste of poppy seeds (the amount of this paste will be 1/3 of the mustard paste)
Now add all pastes and some mustard oil to the fish pieces and mix them well.
Take a stainless steel tiffin box and pour the fish pieces into the box with 2 green chilies.
Now take a deep vessel and pour 4 cups of water and place the fish-containing box within it. Cover the vessel with a lid and place it on the flame (you can also use a pressure cooker or microwave oven for the steaming process)
