Step 5: Pour the Coke into the stove, Coke is poured near the fish surface. Continue boiling without sealing the lid.
 

Step 6: Because the Coke already has dark colour so you will not need to add any food colouring to braise the fish.

Cook the dish for 15 minutes more until the fish meat is cooked, absorbs all the spices then turn of the heat.
