Lote Maach/Lotyya Maach/Bombay Duck er Jhaal

Hi Friends,

Today I will share one of the recipes which the “Bangal” people love to cook and eat - the Lote Maach er Jhol or Bombay Duck Fish Curry. We used to think that this delicacy is liked only by the Bangal people but nowadays, even the Ghoti people love it . Bombay duck is one of the favorite dish in Mumbai.

This dish is also my husband's favourite dish although he is Bihari 😊

Ingredients:

Lote Maach /Bombay Duck  500 gm

Onion Paste ½ cup

Ginger paste ½  teaspoon

Garlic paste ½  teaspoon

Tomato 1 diced into cubes

Garlic Cloves 2 to 3

Green Chili 2 to 3 or as per the taste

Red Chili

Turmeric powder

Cumin powder

Fresh coriander, chopped

Salt

Preparation:

First, cut the fish in a cube size and wash them.

In a bowl take the fish cubes and add onion, ginger and garlic paste, tomato cubes, garlic cloves, green chili, red chili, turmeric and cumin powder and salt and mix them well.

In a pan add oil and heat it. Add the fish cubes mixture in the pan, cover it with a lid and cook in a low flame.

Do not add water as the fish release water itself. However, if required, you can add a little water. When the fish is half cooked, sprinkle the chopped coriander leaves.

Serve with plain boiled rice.
