Amritsari Machi - Punjabi(Indian) Fish

"This recipe is named "Amritsari Machi" in Hindi which when translated in English would mean "Fish of Amritsar". Amritsar is a part of Punjab, my mom's hometown:) My best friend, Vadivu, wrote out this recipe especially for my bro. who loves non-veg and she took pains to post it n all to me before the New Year so I could share it with all of you and you, in turn, with your family and friends:) She didn't mention the number of servings, so I'm taking a wild guess."
