Ingredients Serving: 4

  1. 1/2 kg - Parshe about 4-5 Pieces
  2. 1/2 Cup - Yogurt
  3. 1/2 tsp - Turmeric powder
  4. 1/2 tsp - Red chili powder
  5. 1 tbsp - Poppy seed paste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the fish with a generous pinch of salt and turmeric powder.
  2. Heat ½ a tbsp of oil, add the fish and shallow fry till light brown. Keep aside on a kitchen absorbent towel.
  3. In a small bowl add the turmeric powder, poppy seed paste and musterd seed powder, yogurt, mix well to form a smooth paste.
  4. Add the remaining oil to the same frying pan. Green chillies . Lower the flame, add the yogurt mix, give it a hearty stir and cook for 5-7 odd minutes.
  5. Time now to gently add the fried fish, sprinkle in the sugar and add 1/2 a cup of warm water. (If you love the perfume of fennel as I do, feel free to add another tbsp of fennel seed paste at this stage.) Bring to a gentle simmer, another 5minutes or so. Adjust the seasonings and finish with a dollop of ghee and serve hot.
