SIMPLE BENGALI MUSTARD FISH RECIPE
 |
| Mustard Fish |
Here I have used Basa fish or Cat Fish as it almost tastes like we Bengalis favorite Bhetki fish. It can easily be available in any of the shop which sells refrigerated fishes or chicken. This fish generally comes from Thailand and you can store it for long time in your refrigerator.
Ingredients required for Mustard Fish
1. Basa or Bhetki Fish 400gms to 500 gms
2. Mustard Seed white 4 table spoon.
3. Poppy seed 2 tablespoons
4. Mustard oil
5. Green Chillies 4
6. Turmeric Powder half tea spoon
7. Salt to taste
8. Fresh Cream 4 table spoon.
In this recipe fish is not required to fry.
We would make a smooth paste of the above mentioned portion of Mustard seed, poppy seed, 2 green chillies.
First we will put some Mustard oil in pan. When then oil is heated up we would put the paste we have made. And let it fry for 2/3 minutes in medium flame untill the oil is separated from the paste.
After that we would add the fresh cream and let the oil comes out once again from the paste. Next salt needs to be added as per the taste and this time we would add the fish to which is marinated with salt and turmeric powder.
Let the curry boil for next 5/7 minutes untill the oil comes out in side of the curry.
Put the rest of two green chillies in pan and sprinkle 1 table spoon Mustard oil before serving.
