Marinate the fish. In a bowl, gently coat the fish steaks with 0.5 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder, and 0.5 tsp salt. Set aside for 15 minutes while you prepare the gravy.
Prepare the curry base. Heat 3 tbsp of coconut oil in a clay pot (manchatti) or a wide pan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds. Once they splutter, add the fenugreek seeds and 10-12 curry leaves. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Sauté the aromatics. Add the sliced shallots, julienned ginger, sliced garlic, and slit green chilies to the pot. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are soft and translucent.
Cook the spices and mango. Lower the heat and add the remaining 0.5 tsp turmeric powder and 1.5 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder. Stir for 1 minute until the raw smell disappears. Add the raw mango slices and 1/2 cup of water. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes until the mango is slightly tender.
Simmer the fish. Pour in the thin coconut milk and the remaining 1 tsp of salt. Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer. Carefully place the marinated fish pieces into the gravy in a single layer. Cook on low heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. Swirl the pan gently to mix; avoid using a spoon to prevent the fish from breaking.
Finish the curry. Turn the heat to the lowest setting and pour in the thick coconut milk. Gently swirl the pan to combine. Warm through for 1-2 minutes. Do not let the curry boil, as the thick coconut milk may curdle.
Prepare the final tempering (Tadka). In a small pan, heat the remaining 1 tbsp of coconut oil. Add 2-3 sliced shallots and fry until golden brown. Add the remaining curry leaves, fry for a few seconds, and pour this tempering over the fish curry. Immediately cover the pot.
Rest and serve. Let the curry rest, covered, for at least 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve hot with steamed rice or appam.

Place the basmati rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold running water. Swirl the rice gently with your fingers until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents stickiness. For best results, soak the rinsed rice in fresh water for 20-30 minutes, then drain completely.
In a medium saucepan with a heavy bottom and a tight-fitting lid, combine the drained rice, 2.25 cups of fresh water, and salt (if using).
Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. As soon as it boils, give it one gentle stir to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
Immediately reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting, cover the saucepan with the lid, and let it simmer for 12-15 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time, as the steam is crucial for cooking the rice evenly.
After 12-15 minutes, all the water should be absorbed. Turn off the heat and let the saucepan stand, still covered, for at least 5-10 minutes. This resting period allows the grains to firm up and finish steaming.
Uncover the rice and gently fluff the grains with a fork or a spatula to separate them. Serve hot as a perfect accompaniment to any meal.
