Indian Mustard Fish
Indian Mustard Fish, also known as "Sorshe Maach" in Bengali, is a delicious and popular dish from the Indian subcontinent. It's a fish curry made with mustard seeds, various spices, and typically served with rice or roti. The mustard seeds give the dish a unique and tantalizing flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds fish fillets (such as salmon or cod)
- 4 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
- 2 tablespoons black mustard seeds
- 4 green chilies finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon red chili powder (adjust as per your spice preference)
- 4 tablespoons mustard oil (you can substitute with vegetable oil if necessary)
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- Salt to taste
- Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Grind the yellow and black mustard seeds together to make a coarse paste. You can use a mortar and pestle or a blender for this.
- Marinate the fish fillets with half of the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Set aside for about 15 minutes.
- In a pan, heat the mustard oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the green chilies and ginger-garlic paste. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground mustard paste to the pan and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring continuously.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the remaining turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well to combine the spices with the mustard paste.
- Gently place the marinated fish fillets into the pan, ensuring they are coated with the mustard paste. Cover the pan and let it cook on low heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and tender.
- Once the fish is cooked, garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
- Serve the Indian Mustard Fish hot with steamed rice or roti.
