Pabda Fish - made on 30th July 2011

It is an easy to cook and easy to digest recipe for rainy days, although any day.

Recipe:

What did I use:

A few large Pabda fishes
½ tsp of red pepper powder
2-3 tsp of cumin seeds
2 tsp of black pepper powder
½ tomato chopped
1 tsp of turmeric powder
3-4 tbs mustard oil for frying fish +2 tbs of mustard oil to make the curry
1 cup of water (vegetable stock can also be used)

How did I cook:

Marinate the fish with turmeric and salt , keep aside for half hour.
Heat up a wok and add mustard oil , fry fish on each side for 5 mints at medium till they are turned little brown . Be Careful while frying Pabda Fish. Take out gently after they are fried and keep aside. Now grind  cumin seeds. Add black Pepper and red pepper powder to that. And pour 1 tbs water to that. Now pour oil on the  wok and heat it up. Then add spice mix to the oil. Fry it for 3/4 mins and add the fried fish and turmeric, salt, 1 cup of water and tomato and 2 tbs of mustard oil. Cover and cook at low for 10 mints. Take out when the gravy is thick , serve with warm cooked rice .

N.B. If you like simple gravy, you can add more water while cooking :).......
