A traditional Bengali (East Indian) dish. It is easy to make and usually prepared using hilsa fish. However salmon or cod can be used instead.
This recipe is pretty close to what is done. Here are a few edits. About 1/2 an hour before you begin put the mustard seeds and the green chili in a cup of water and let the water make it soft so it's easier to pound into a paste. It's easier to make a paste of the above in a dry grinder like a coffee grinder (I know it's a dry grinder but nothing goes wrong in it). The consistency should be like thick batter. And follow the above recipe for the rest.
