1. Place the fish pieces in a large non-reactive bowl, add the turmeric and salt, and mix well, making sure all the pieces are well-coated. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the mustard seeds and oil, then add about 1/4 cup water to make a paste. Transfer to a large nonstick wok or saucepan and stir over medium heat, adding a sprinkling of water every now and then, until the paste is well-cooked, about 10 minutes.
3. Add the remaining water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the fish and any juices that might have collected in the bowl, and boil again.
4. Add the green chili peppers and curry leaves. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, turning once, until the fish is just flaky and opaque inside, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with the cilantro sprigs, and serve.
