Rohu/Katla fish cooked in 'rai-lehsoon ka paste' (mustard-garlic paste) has a unique taste. In Bihari cuisine, mustard garlic paste is used in making a variety of veg and non-veg dishes. I have a bottle of this aromat paste always ready in my fridge just like we store ginger garlic paste to use in our food.
For now, enjoy this simple yet delicious fish curry that I have inherited and so proud of!
