Flavoured with kasuri methi, this Bengali style fish is easy to make and tastes delicious when served with steamed rice. Perfect to cook when you have guests coming in for dinner.
This fish dish, we try when we are in hurry and have to cook an elaborate meal for all. This fish dish needs very little time to cook and can be prepared with very few ingredients. All you need is fresh carp (rohu or katla) as fish pieces are not fried before cooking.
We normally marinate the fish pieces with lime juice and turmeric to get rid of the smell of fish. If you wish you can lightly fry the fish pieces and then cook with other ingredients. This fish recipe goes very well with steamed rice only!
Serve Kasuri Methi Mach along with Steamed Rice and Bengali Style Sheem Poshto for a weekday meal.
