Mustard Fish

Traditionally this is made with Elish (Hilsa fish). But it can be quite challenging for those who are not used to it, because Elish is a very fine bony fish. You can use any fish of your choice. Here I used boneless fish fillets.

• Two fish fillets > cut in small pieces > coat lightly with some turmeric and very little oil > set aside.

Mustard Sauce: 

• 2 tbs oil (mustard oil is better) in the hot pan >  2 tbs onion paste + 1 tb garlic paste + 1 tsp salt + 1 tsp curry powder + 1/2 cup water
• Add 2-3 tsp whole grain mustard paste (non-alcoholic version available) + 2 tbs yogurt (variation: coconut milk) + 4 green chillies > cook for 2 mins
• Add the fish cook for 10 mins in medium heat.
• Add water if sauce is too thick.
• Optional: add 1 tsp fish seasoning to enhance taste.
