Karuvadu Kolambu / Salt Fish Fry - Mom's Version

It sucks, the only Karuvadu(salted fish) I can find here is the salted cod. In Virudhunagar you get awesome karuvadu, which is pink on the inside and melts into the dish. If anyone knows where you can get good Karuvadu in the northeast , please email me.

Ingredients 
Couple of pieces of karuvadu.
20 Small onions (shallots) - cut into small pieces
3 Non-spicy green chilli (the long ones)
10 Garlic pods - thinly sliced
1/2 Teaspoon Jeera powder (freshly ground)
1/4Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Turmeric powder
1/4 Chilli Powder

In a wok, fry onions, green chilli and garlic into until they become very soft. Add Jeera powder, Tumeric powder, Chilli Powder. Add 1/4 cup of water. Then add Karuvadu. Fry until all the water evaporates and oil separates.
