Mustard Fish CurryHere is a recipe which is quite famous in Bihar & Bengal. People use to make it with different ingredients. But this is my version. ½ Kg Fish (Rohu) 2 tbsp. Yellow Mustard Powder 1 tsp. Red Chilli Powder ½ tsp. Cumin Powder 1 tsp. Coriander Powder 1 tsp. Turmeric Powder ½ tsp. Nigella Seeds (Onion Seeds) 2 Tomatoes (Pureed) 2-3 Green Chilies4-5 Garlic cloves ½ inch Ginger 4 tbsp. Mustard Oil 1 Lemon Salt to taste 1 tbsp. Green Coriander (Chopped) Clean, wash and drain all pieces of fish. Sprinkle ½ tsp. turmeric, salt, and lemon juice over the pieces and leave them to marinate for 10 minutes. Now take a mixer jar, and pour Yellow Mustard Powder, Cumin Powder, Coriander Powder, Red Chilli Powder and remaining turmeric powder in it. Add Garlic cloves and Ginger and Tomato Puree too. Grind all of these together into a fine smooth paste. Smoothness of paste determines the creaminess of gravy. Now, shallow fry the fish in hot oil. Remove all pieces. Add Onion Seeds in same hot oil, add 2 slit Green Chilies, now add the masala paste to the pan, and roast it on low to medium heat, till the paste is nicely roasted and aromatic, and leaves the oil. Add a few spoons of water occasionally while roasting the paste to prevent it from burning. Now add 2-3 cups of water, as desired for gravy. Add salt to taste. Let the curry boil on low heat for 2-3 minutes, then add fried fish. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes more. Remove from heat. Sprinkle chopped coriander leaves and serve hot.
