Shorshe Pomfret

Hi Friends,
Today I will share one of my favourite dish Shorshe Pomfret which is very easy to make and tasty to eat.

Ingredients:

Pomfret Fish 1 (I have taken 1 big fish and cut it into half)

Onion Paste 1 and ½ teaspoon

Green Chilli Paste as per your taste


Mustard powder 2 and ½ teaspoon


Curd 2 teaspoon


Red Chili, Cumin and Turmeric powder


Kalonjee or Nigella sativa


Coriander leaves


Sugar for taste


Preparation :

First marinate the fish with turmeric powder and salt for sometime.
Add oil and fry the fish lightly. Keep the fried fish aside.
Take a frying pan and heat a little oil. Add pinch of kalonjee , onion paste and green chili paste to it.
When the Color turns light brown, take 2 and 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder in a bowl,add water and little salt and mix it. Add the mixture in the pan .
Take 1 teaspoon beaten curd and add it to the mixture in pan and continue frying .
Make sure you do not fry the mixture for too long as the mustard powder will make the gravy bitter.
Add small pinch of sugar, turmeric, red chili and cumin powder and water to make a gravy.
After that add the fish, cover it with a lid and cook in a low flame.
When the fish is half cooked, add coriander leaves and few half cut green chilies and cover it again.

Turn off the flame. Your shorshe pomfret is ready.
Enjoy with Hot rice.
