What is the most favorite traditional food in my country?
I am from Bangladesh. Fish curry with rice is the most favorite traditional food in my country. Infact Bengali people are known as "Machh-e Bhat-e Bangali" which means, "Bengali by fish and rice". We do have a plenty of different types of fish. You will be surprised to know that Bangladesh has more than 700 rivers which are a great source of delicious fishes.
Saran fish curry with Bengali spices!
Currently, I am living in Serbia. Here I see only a few different types of fresh fish. Out of them, Saran(Carp fish) is my favorite fish. Though It is a bit complicated to prepare a fish dish, from time to time I can't resist preparing a delicious saran fish curry with Bengali spices. So, lets jump into the process and the ingredient needed.
Ingredients
- Saran fish- 500gm
- Tomatoes -250-300gm
- Onion
- Green chili pepper
- Turmeric powder- 1 tea spoon
- Coriander powder- 1 tea spoon
- Chili powder- 1 tea spoon
- Cumin powder- 1 tea spoon
Process
- First marinate the saran fish with turmeric and chili powder. You can add some salt with them as well. After 5-7 mins fry these Saran with oil.
- Fry them for7-10 mins till them turn into bit brown color.
- Once they are fried enough, keep them in a plate.
- Slice onion and green chili pepper with a sharp knife as shown in below pictures.
- Slice the tomatoes into small pieces as well.
- Now it is time to fry onion and green chili pepper with oil.
- Fry them for 2-3minutes with medium heat before mixing the mentioned(from ingredient list) spices.
- After cooking for another 2-3 minutes, add tomato slices.
- Cook them again for another 2-3 minutes with medium heat before adding fried saran fish.
- Cook them for another 8-10minutes with medium heat.
So that s how I cooked my saran curry with Bengali spices. It s really delicious especially for fish lovers :) I usually served them with white rice. It can be used as heavy meal like launch or early dinner.
So that s it for now. Hope you will like this recipe and give it try :)
