Marinate fish in lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil and half the coriander leaves for 1 hour.
Mix together the ginger paste, tomato puree, sugar, salt, chilli sauce, vinegar and water. Heat the other tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick pan.
Add the mixture and cook for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Set aside.
In another non-stick pan, warm 50 mls of oil and fry the fish 3 minutes on a side or till done. (do not overcook).
Transfer fish to the pan with sauce and heat through.
Squeeze lime juice over and sprinkle with remaining coriander on top.
