#Rainbowweek7 - Ilish maach is undoubtedly the most favoured and popular river water fish among most of the Bengali crowd. Various types of recipes can be dished out with it. It is also an all time favourite of mine. So let me share a very easy, simple and a quick traditional recipe of Shorshe Ilish or Hilsa Fish in Mustard gravy.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Marinate the fish with a pinch of salt and turmeric powder for 10 minutes. Meanwhile blend the soaked mustard seeds, cashew nuts, green chilies, coconut, turmeric powder and salt to a smooth paste by adding some water. Keep aside.
- 2
Heat 2 tbsp. mustard oil in a pan / kadai and temper with nigella seeds. Saute for a few seconds and add the marinated fish. Fry on both sides slightly (just a minute on each side).
- 3
Now add the mustard paste and sprinkle some water. Mix well so that the fish is nicely coated in the masala. Cover and simmer for 2-3 minutes or till the oil leaves the sides of the pan.
- 4
Switch off the flame and drizzle the remaining mustard oil. Garnish with coriander leaves and enjoy with hot steamed rice.

Note -
I have substituted poppy seeds with cashew nuts as the former is unavailable here. Nevertheless there was no change in the taste and flavour. It turned out simply divine and yummy.

Mangshor Korma (Bengali Mutton Curry) Mangshor Korma (Bengali Mutton Curry)
#reststyle - This is a traditional Bengali style Mutton Korma / curry, where I have used large chunks of potatoes, as it is well known, Bengalis love them in each and every dish. And to think of preparing a mutton curry without it, is not easily digestible. Mangsho /Mutton is a very popular sunday menu in almost all Bengali bones and is equally relished in all Bengali restaurants too. Here in this particular version of mine, I added some roasted fresh coconut and fried onion along with the usual ingredients to make the dish more rich and aromat. It is relished either with plain steamed rice, poori or chapati. There is no ham in trying it out with jeera rice, khushka, naan, tandoori roti or any Indian bread. There are obviously many versions to this dish, where yoghurt or poppy seeds are also added according to individual preference. Bethica Das -
