Catfish Masala Recipe #195867
From "Faster, I'm Starving; 100 Dishes in 25 Minutes or Less" by Kevin and Nancy Mills. This is a new cookbook I found at my library and I wanted to post this before I return the book. The blurb in the book states that the author's Mom got this recipe from her hairdresser, Ruki, who is from the Lahore region of Pakistan.
