Instructions to make Muri Ghonto: Bengali Yellow Rice with Fish Head:
- First up: Wash, Clean & Soak the Rice for about 15 mins time, set aside...Apply some salt & turmeric powder to the fish head (divided into 2 halves) & fry them until dark golden brown- set aside.
- Heat up a frying pan/wok/kadhai, over the medium-high flame & add in the oil & some ghee together (keep a tbsp of ghee, reserved for the later use).
- Add in the tempering spices: Sauté until they turn aromatic- Add in the chopped onions & the potatoes- sauté until translucent & reduces in its volume...then, goes in the 3G Paste- Sauté until the raw smell goes off.
- Goes in the rest other dry & ground spices, keep stirring continuously until the oil surfaces up the pan- Add in the fried fish head & keep sautéing continuously until everything is nicely combined, add in the salt too at this point & mix it nicely with the rest of the bhuna Masalas in the pan.
- On the other oven: Heat up another frying pan & sauté the soaked rice- Doing this will ensure that the rice doesn’t become brittle enough to break down easily & the rice becomes mushy- That’s what we’re not looking out for- The pulao/rice need be absolutely free flow.
- Once done mix this fried rice into the other pan- Containing the Masalas & the sautéed fish heads...Give it all a really good mix until nicely combined and well incorporated...Checkout the seasonings at this point & adjust, if at all that’s required.
- Once this is done: Pour in the measured warm water to it gently mix again, everything together- Cover it & allow it to cook for about 10-12 mins time, stirring occasionally in between, so as to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Turn off the flame, once it’s done: Add a dollop of ghee & Garam Masala Powder and mix everything well together until nicely combined, cover it back and let it sit on the hot oven for the next 10-15 mins time before serving it piping hot.
- Dish out & Enjoy your platter with your choicest Raita, Salads or any other condiments you’d like to have with it...Or, simply have it as is...since it’s absolutely aromatic & extremely delicious & flavourful, in itself.
