All time loved dish of Bengali people , machher kofta with big , fried chunks of potatoes in yoghurt gravy . It can be enjoyed in dinner parties , any special occasion or even for festive days. Here in Bahrain I hardly get any river fish like rohu , katla , telapia or the famous Hilsa . We have to satisfy ourselves with some local sea fishes . This recipe goes best with Rohu or Tilapia , i have used Hummour fish fillates . Currently staying in Bahrain
It seems yummyyy...
Make onion ginger and chilli paste , remove 2 tsp paste for making koftas , keep aside
Wash and boil fish fillets in a pressure cooker with little water and salt for 2 whistle. Boil potato also for 2 whistle , keep aside
Soak bread pieces in water for some time and rinse water . Mash them
Add boiled fish , boiled potato ,Onion ginger chilli paste , salt , turmeric powder, black pepper powder, raisins, roasted cashews and garam masala powder in a big bowl and mash them together . Make lemon size balls .
Heat 1/2 cup oil in a small kadai , shallow fry koftas in batches , maximum 4 at a time , do not overcrowd . Fry until golden in both sides
Remove extra oil by putting them in kitchen tissues
Fry cubed potatoes until light golden
In a medium sized nonstick pan heat 3 tbsp mustard oil , add whole cumin seeds and bay leaves in medium heat . Wait for 1 minute
Add cumin , coriander , turmeric and chilli powder . Sauté for 30 seconds in low heat. Add onion , chilli and ginger paste. Saute until nice aroma comes out
Add curd , saute until all the water dries up
Add fried potatoes
Saute until potatoes and all the spices combine well
Add 2 cups of water , boil the gravy in medium heat for 5_7 mins or until the potatoes are soft. Put the lid. Add sugar also. The gravy should be thin , as the koftas will soak the gravy and increase in size . Add more water if needed
Add fried koftas to the boiling gravy , cook for 2_3 minutes . Add garam masala powder. Check for salt and sugar ratio.
Add cream , mix carefully with the gravy and switch off gas.
Give 10 _15 minutes standing time before serving. Serve with white rice
