MACHHERE JHOL (BENGALI FISH CURRY)

Machhere Jhol (Bengali Fish Curry) image

A delicate Bengali fish curry. In India, the best parts of a fish are often reserved as a fillet and served grilled, broiled, or cooked alongside a fish stew or curry containing the less attractive portions of fish. The contrasting texture combination is worth trying at your dinner table.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 large tomatoes, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 pounds thick whitefish fillets, cut into large chunks
½ teaspoon mustard seeds
½ teaspoon cumin seeds
½ teaspoon black cumin seeds
¼ teaspoon fennel seeds, lightly crushed
¼ teaspoon fenugreek seeds

Steps:

Bring the tomatoes, cumin, turmeric, salt, and water to a boil in a four quart saucepan; reduce heat to medium and maintain a simmer.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook the fish in the oiled skillet until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the fish to the saucepan.
Heat a separate skillet over medium heat, and toast the mustard seeds, cumin seeds, black cumin seeds, fennel seeds, and fenugreek seeds until fragrant, just a few seconds. Stir the spices into the saucepan. Simmer until the flavors integrate, about 10 minutes more. Serve hot.
