Its usually a clash of recipes between the Dasgupta and Chatterjee households in Kolkata, over the same base ingredients. Like, my momma prepares aloo posto with out any spices, except for salt and kancha lonka(green chillies), and shorsher tel(mustard oil). Its the aroma of Posto which has to shine through, she says, as her mom in law had always stressed to her. And in the Dasgupta household, Posto is a heady concoction of garlic, turmeric, mustard oil, green chillies and even onions. That was quite shocking for me, when I was first served Posto like that. So on hubby's suggestion, when I asked my mom in law, for her version of Koi Maachh, as usual, it was a very different recipe, which went with the same elusive tagline Tel Koi. Now my confusion was at its super best.
KOI MAACHHER JHAAAL:
Ingredients:
Koi Maachh: 250 gm
Potato: 1, cut into longish slices
Onion paste: 3 tbsp
Garlic paste: 1tbsp
Mustard paste: 2 tbsp
Salt
Sugar: 1 tsp
Turmeric
Green Chillies: 2-3, slit lengthwise
Mustard oil
Kalonji/ Kalo jeera: a pinch
Red Chilli powder: 1/2- 1tsp: according to heat preferences
Coat the cleaned koi maachh with salt and turmeric powder.
Heat oil in a wok and fry the fishes lightly. Keep aside.
Coat the potatoes with salt and turmeric powder, and fry them in the same oil.Keep aside.
In the same oil, add the slit green chillies and the kalo jeere. Let them crackle.
Add the onion-garlic paste, and fry for around 5 minutes.
Add the mustard paste and the turmeric powder, red chilli powder and sugar. Mix well. Cook the masala till the oil leaves the sides of the wok, or till you feel the masala has been cooked.
Add the potatoes, and add some water and salt to taste, and cover and cook till the potatoes are almost done in the gravy.
Add the fried fish gently into the gravy and cook for another 10 minutes. Cook the fish, but ensure that they are not overcooked, as it can start breaking away. Do a taste test and turn off the heat, and add a dash of raw mustard oil, to the gravy.
The gravy should be a thick gravy, so reduce it, if you have had added a lot of water. This gravy can be garnished with slit green chillies.
I had served Koi Maacher Jhaal with steamed rice. Nothing like gorom bhaat- machher jhaaal.
Bon Appetit !!!
