Thank you Sadhuji for reminding me of Bela di. I think she authored a few books too.
Here is Fish Head preparation:
Ingredients
1 Big Size of Fish Head ( large carp fish) needed to be cut into “manageable pieces” as Sadhuji has said. He is very much right & wise.
50gms of beaten rice.

1 teaspoon Chillie powder
4-5 Bay Leaves
! inch piece of Cinnamon,
4 Cloves
4 Green Cardamom.
4-5 Tablespoon of Mustard Oil.
2-3 Medium sized potatoes peeled and cut into pieces.
Method of Cooking:
Clean the fish head pat it dr & rub it with 1 tsp of salt and turmeric powder.
Heat oil in a kadai when about to smoke add the fish heads, Fry them & keep it aside.
Fry the potatoes in it and saute the beaten rice. Keep these aside.
Add the bay leaves, cinnamon, cloves & the cardamoms, fry for a while.
Add the rest of the spices
Fry it in slow flame till the oil leaves the masala.
Put 2 cups of hot water and let it start boiling add the potatoes.
Mix in the fried fish heads.
Keep it with covered lid for sometime on slow flame till the head pieces are done..
