Ingredients

1.6 pounds white fish, I used tilapia filet with skin at the bottom (735 grams)
1 onion small (3/4 cup) chopped
4 garlic cloves
10 curry leaves
2 tsp red chili powder (cayenne pepper)
1 and 1/2 tsp ground coriander (dhaniya powder)
1 and 1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp black pepper, crushed
1 and 1/2 tsp tamarind concentrate
1/2 tsp garam masala
3/4 tbsp ginger garlic paste

Equipment

1 Air Fryer

Method

Prep

In a blender grind the onions, curry leaves, garlic cloves, red chili powder, ground coriander, salt, pepper, tamarind paste, garam masala, ginger garlic paste. Process until completely smooth.
Rinse the fish fillet under cold, running water. Pat the fillets dry with paper towels and arrange them on a cutting board. Make a few slits and chop them to 4 to 5 inch pieces. Rub the marinade on the fish really well and let it sit for 30 minutes to overnight in a refrigerator covered. I normally keep the marinade on for 30 minutes.
I line my Air fryer basket with aluminum foil. Poke holes in the aluminum foil, so the air circulates easily. Further, when you are ready to cook, grease the aluminum foil in the air fryer basket with oil or cooking spray.
Make sure to grease well or else the fish will get stuck and break. I used fish with skin so that worked great.
Air Fry at 400 Fahrenheit or 200 Celsius for 15-18 minutes, flip them over at 10 minute mark. Don't overcoat the basket. Furthermore, every air fryer is different so check after the 15-minute mark. You can increase or decrease the time as per your liking.

Notes

On a scale of 1 to 5 i would place this at 3 in terms of spice levels, with 5 being high. You can increase or decrease the red chili powder as per your spice tolerance.
