Boil water in a heavy-bottomed pot and add the fermented fish along with sliced onions and green chilies.
2
Let it simmer until the fermented fish dissolves completely into the broth.
3
Add the fresh water fish pieces and green leafy vegetables into the boiling broth.
4
In a small bowl, mix the rice flour with a little cold water to form a smooth, lump-free paste.
5
Slowly pour the rice thickening paste into the boiling pot while stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
6
Simmer on medium heat until the fish is fully cooked and the soup achieves a semi-thick consistency.
