Recipe of Doi Mach

I am not a very good cook. Infact I am one of the few Bengali women, who is always trying to skip the kitchen apron. But at times I do tend to cook. Mostly for myself. I recently managed to cook a fish dish using curd/yogurt. I believe many are already accustomed with this recipe.

Ingredients

8 pcs of Rohu Fish

1/2 cup yogurt/curd

1/2 cup green peas

2 onion chopped

3-4 green chillies

1 tomato chopped

1 tsp cumin powder/paste

1 tsp ginger paste

1/2 tsp turmeric powder

1tbsp mustard oil

1/2 tsp sugar

1/3 cup finely chopped coriander leaves

Salt to taste

Heat oil in a kadai and put the fish pieces. Fry till brown. Remove and keep aside

Add the chopped onions. Fry till golden brown.

Add tomatoes and green chillies. Stir till the tomato turns soft

Add green peas and stir for 1-2 minutes

Add cumin powder, ginger paste and turmeric and stir till the oil starts to separate from the spices
