Cooking Directions

  1. Place the mustard seed and chile peppers in a bowl, and mash together to create a fine paste.
  2. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the onions until golden. Mix in mustard and chile paste, chili powder, turmeric, and salt. Stir in water. Place salmon in the skillet. Reduce heat to low, and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated and fish is easily flaked with a fork.

Yield: 6 servings

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.
