Pabda Fish another freshwater River fish is a favourite of mine. Since childhood I’ve been having this fish with mustard paste and my Late Mom taught me with tomato paste and mustard paste combined together. Brings back such lovely memories. Goes best with Steamed rice. Ideally a complete meal for Sunday lunch

Steps

Preparation time-10 mins, Cooking time-30 mins

1

Wash the fish pieces well and smear with turmeric powder and salt. Set aside for 5 mins
2

In a wok heat 3-4 Tbsp mustard oil and once hot, slowly and gently drop the fish into the oil (the oil splutters everywhere, so one must be careful). The fish being very delicate, carefully flip the sides. Each sides would take 2-3 mins for a light fry and not a deep one. Set aside when done
3

In the same wok add rest of the oil and cumin seeds, when it splutters, add bay leaf and tomato and mustard pastes. On low flame cook for 3-4 mins until oil surfaces.
4

Add red chilli powder, turmeric powder and mix well. Add salt. Stir.
5

Add 1 cup warm water and gradually add the fried fish pieces. Stir gently and cover to get the desired consistency.
6

Oil will surface and add green chilies. Stir and set aside
7

Plate and garnish with coriander leaves
