Pomfret Macher Jhal (Bengali Fish Curry)

Marinate the fish with a pinch of turmeric powder and red chilli powder for 10 minutes.

Mix the remaining turmeric powder and red chilli powder water and keep aside.

Heat oil in a pan & fry the fish on both sides till light brown in colour. Drain and keep aside.

Temper the same oil with nigella seeds and green chilies.

Add the paste and salt to taste. Bring it to a boil & gently drop in the fried fish. Cover and simmer on a low flame till the gravy reduces and the oil separates.

When done, drizzle the remaining mustard oil and switch off the flame. Garnish with coriander leaves.

Serve with plain steamed rice.
