Rohu OR Rui Fish is a regular fish in Bengali cuisine. Most of the Bengalis have fish in their every day lunch menu. And Rui Or Rohu is the most common fish in daily cuisine. But most of the time this rohu fish is cooked in a very simple way with vegetables and little spices. Mild curry which is very well known as "Machher Jhol" is prepared with Rui fish. This is absolutely fine for daily meal. But when guests come, we need to prepare little different kind of fish dishes. So we prepare "Rui Machher Kaliya".
