Doi Maach
AAHH!!FISH!!! I can have fish every day. Growing up I remember my grandfather used to keep the fridge stocked with at least 5-6 kinds of fish and we would have a new variety every day.
But you know how it is with kids..they don’t like what they get easily. I was also a typical child. I used to sulk at having fish everyday. I didn't realise the nutritional benefit that was a gift from my grandparents.
Fish is a complete food. Packed with vitamins and minerals, and a major source of omega-3 fatty acids, fish can help to protect against a range of diseases, from cancer to heart disease, depression to arthritis. Most people attribute the long, black tresses of Bengali girls to a staple fish diet. And maybe they are true.
There are so many ways to cook fish. You can have it fried. You can make a very simple gravy consisting of only salt and turmeric. You can have a richer version with onions and tomatoes. The Doi Maach is made in a curd gravy which gives it a slight tang.
Ingredients
500 gm Fish
1 tsp salt
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 large onion, sliced
1 tomato, sliced
1 tbsp ginger paste
1/2 cup curd/dahi/doi
1 tbsp garam masala
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp red chilli powder
salt to taste
2 green chillies
1 tsp nigella seeds
mustard oil for frying
chopped coriander for garnishing
Apply salt and turmeric to the fish pieces and set aside for half an hour. Heat some mustard oil in a pan till smoking point. Fry the fish for 2 minutes on each sides. Keep aside.
Add the nigella seeds and green chillies in the same oil. Then add the ginger paste. Now add the sliced onions. Fry for a minute or two till they turn translucent.
Now add the tomatoes. Cover and cook for some time till the tomatoes turn mushy.
Now add the garam masala, turmeric powder, red chilli powder and salt. After a minute add the curd and fry till oil starts leaving the side.
Add some water and let it come to a boil. Now put in the fish pieces, cover and cook for 10 minutes.
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves. It is best eaten with rice.
