Instructions to make Parshe Macher Tel-Jhal (Parshe/Mullet Fish Curry):
- First up: Wash, Clean the fish pieces & coat with some salt and turmeric powder & apply generously all along the same- Cover & set aside for about 30 mins time before frying.
- Heat up a frying pan over the medium flame: Add in the measured mustard oil- Allow the oil to fume perfectly well & to evaporate the pungent smell of the Mustard Oil (that’s absolutely essential), then add in the fish pieces & fry them in batches until dark golden brown.
- While frying the fish pieces: Reduce the flame to medium-high & gently & cautiously fry them until one side is done properly & then to flip onto its other side & well fry until our own desired crispness & colour.
- Once done: Transfer them to a separate plate/dish & get ready for the main cooking part...keep rest all other ingredients ready & handy... With all the aforementioned dry spices (powders)- Make a mixture of the same with some water, set aside except the coriander leaves, nigella seeds & dry whole red chillies.
- If required: Dry Roast the Cumin Seeds at home, cool it down to ground it to a smooth powder later on for this cooking & storing the rest in an airtight container for later use in any other dishes.
- The rest other aforementioned ingredients are ready now....👇🏻.
- Heat up a frying pan/wok/kadhai: Add in the rest of the oil (if required), then add in the nigella seeds & dry red chillies- Sauté for a minute until turns aromatic, then add in the chopped tomatoes and continue sautéing until its nicely mushy & juicy.
- Once its soft & mushy enough: Add in the pre-diluted ground spices mixture to it while stirring continuously until the raw smell goes off & everyday’s nicely combined.
- If required: Add in some water so as to sauté the gravy Masala mixture not burn or stick to the pan... Cover the pan at this point & reduce the flame to low-medium & let it cook for about another 5-6 mins time until the oil surfaces up the pan.
- This is the good time to add in some more water (warm), for the perfect gravy consistency according to our own choices...Give it all a really good mix until everything’s nicely combined.
- Add in the fried fish pieces to the boiling gravy now- Mix/immerse into the gravy well- Checkout the seasonings (adjust at this point, if anything’s required), put back the cover of the pan & allow it to cook for another 8-10 mins time or until properly cooked, flame should be at low-medium.
- Once done: Turn off the flame and let it sit on the hot oven for the next 10-12 mins time before serving it piping hot with equally piping hot steamed rice & enjoy the typical Bengali ‘Machh-Bhath’ in the main course menu of your Lunch.
