Went to a complete Bengali cuisine restaurant over here and the food was so awesome plus the ambience. They were playing rabindra sangeet it was mostly instrumental though and i swear I was feeling dreamy halfway until food arrived. My dad has lived in bengal for a good time so he knew how certain dishes are made and last time when I lived in kolkata i did not eat bhetki because I was scared of seeing it wrapped, but this time dad made me eat it and omg I was like why did not I try it out then?

And the ambience reminded me of my school rabindra jayanti programme

Omg I'm so glad you had that experience!!! and yes rabindrasangeet does make one feel dreamy<3 ALSO YES BHETKI FOR LIFE

Bengal is famous for its cuisine, but what really takes the spotlight are its numerous dishes that use a wide variety of fishes. Each and every recipe has its own tastes, smells, and sensations. Here are some fishes that hold a place in Bengali recipes.

1) Rohu Rohu, also known as rui or roho labeo, is a large omnivorous fish that is found in rivers in South Asia. It's a member of the carp family and is often used in aquaculture. It’s a staple diet and is widely consumed all over India for its simple yet rich taste and richness in Vitamin C.

2) Catla Catla, also known as the major South Asian carp, is an economically important South Asian freshwater fish in the carp family. It is often called the common man’s source of meat, for both its fleshy body and wide availability. It is often the star of feasts, where gigantic Catlas are chopped down and served as a substitute to other sources of meat.

3) Bhetki Also known as Asian sea bass, or giant sea perch, the Bhetki is a fish popular for having little to no bones, making it favorable for recipes that use its fillets. Often used for starters and street food such as fish fry, it holds a special place in the hearts of bengalis, making it second only to hilsa.

4) Boal A freshwater member of the catfish family, Boal, due to having few bones similar bhetki, is one of the many catfishes that find a place in a bengali’s diet. It is high in fat and omega-3 fatty acids, and is a good source of protein. It is often prepared in a spicy fish curry, but can also be fried.

5) Ilish The star of Bengali cuisine and the ruler of many hearts, Ilish’s popularity is highlighted by the fact that its the national fish of Bangladesh and state fish of West Bengal. Although its availability is seasonal with supplies often lacking to meet the gigantic demand it enjoys, Ilish still finds a near-eternal place in Bengali culture, with festive celebrations held in its honor.

Buy Bengali Sunrise Shorshe Posto Powder Online: Sunrise Shorshe Posto is a delectable blend of Shorshe and Posto fit perfectly for the Bengali palate and suited to cook special fish curries. The potent pungency and strong flavour of mustard along with the creamy and nuttiness of poppy is a match made just to make so great Bengali delicacies like Bhetki Bhape, Bhetki Paturi, and even with fishes like Rui, Katla and Parshe. What is best is how the flavour of prawns are heightened once cooked in this piquant, flavourful and beautifully pungent masala from Sunrise. A weakness for all Bengalis, be it in Bengal or worldwide.

Bengali style Fish curry

https://sanjibskitchenrecipe.com/delicious-bengali-fish-curry/

Bengali fish curry, also known as “Maacher Jhol,” is a classic and beloved dish in Bengali cuisine. It’s a flavorful and aromatic curry that showcases the region’s love for fish and intricate blend of spices. This delectable curry is perfect for any occasion, whether you’re hosting a family gathering or simply craving a comforting and satisfying meal.

Bengali fish curry Ingredients: 

5-6 pieces of fresh fish (such as Rahu or Katla)

2 medium-sized onions, julienned

100 gm tomato paste

10 ml mustard oil

1/2 tablespoon turmeric powder

1 tablespoon red chili powder

1 tablespoon coriander powder

Salt to taste

1/2 teaspoon garam masala 

Bengali fish curry Preparation: 

Begin by cleaning the fish pieces thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a paper towel or clean kitchen cloth.

In a mixing bowl, combine the fish pieces with a pinch of salt and turmeric powder. Gently massage the marinade into the fish, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Set aside for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Heat mustard oil in a pan or kadhai over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the marinated fish pieces and fry until they turn crispy and golden brown on both sides. Remove the fried fish from the pan and set it aside on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.

In the same pan, heat a little more mustard oil. Once the oil is hot, add the julienned onions and sauté until they turn golden brown and fragrant.

Next, add the dry spices: turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Stir continuously for about 1-2 minutes, allowing the spices to bloom and release their aroma.

Incorporate the tomato paste into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the paste is well combined with the spices and onions.

Carefully add the fried fish pieces to the pan and gently mix them with the spiced tomato mixture, ensuring each piece is coated evenly.

Pour in about 1 cup (100 ml) of water and sprinkle the garam masala over the curry. Give it a gentle stir to combine everything well.

Cover the pan with a lid and let the curry simmer on low heat for about 5-7 minutes. This step allows the flavors to meld together and the fish to absorb the rich, aromatic curry sauce.

After simmering, remove the lid and check the consistency of the curry. If you prefer a thinner gravy, add a little more water and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Once the desired consistency is achieved, turn off the heat and let the curry rest for a few minutes before serving.

To serve, ladle the Bengali fish curry into bowls or plates and garnish with fresh coriander leaves or a sprinkle of garam masala. This delectable curry pairs beautifully with steamed rice, allowing the aromatic gravy to soak into each fluffy grain.

Bengali fish curry is a true celebration of flavors, showcasing the perfect harmony between the fresh fish, aromatic spices, and tangy tomato base. The depth of flavor in this dish is truly remarkable, with each bite offering a burst of taste and aroma that will transport you to the heart of Bengali culinary traditions.

Whether you’re a seasoned Bengali food enthusiast or simply seeking to explore new flavors, this authentic fish curry is sure to delight your senses and leave you craving for more. Enjoy it with loved ones, savor each bite, and let the warmth and comfort of this dish envelop you in a culinary embrace that captures the essence of Bengali hospitality and deliciousness.

Here are some potential FAQs for the Bengali Fish Curry recipe:

Q: What types of fish are best suited for this curry?

A: This curry is traditionally made with freshwater fish like Rahu (Rohu) or Katla. However, you can also use other varieties of fresh fish such as Bhetki (Barramundi), Parshe (Indian Salmon), or even Hilsa if available.

Q: Can I use a different type of oil instead of mustard oil?

A: Mustard oil is preferred for its distinct flavor and aroma, but you can substitute it with vegetable oil, canola oil, or sunflower oil if you don’t have mustard oil.

Q: Can I adjust the spice level of the curry?

A: Yes, you can easily adjust the spice level to suit your taste. Reduce the amount of red chili powder to make it milder or increase it for a spicier curry.

Q: Can I use fresh tomatoes instead of tomato paste?

A: Yes, you can use fresh tomatoes. Roughly chop 2-3 medium-sized tomatoes and cook them down until they form a pulp before adding the spices.

Q: Can I add any vegetables to the curry?

A: While this curry is traditionally made without vegetables, you can add potatoes, cauliflower, or eggplant to make it more substantial and create a heartier meal.

Q: How do I achieve a thicker gravy consistency?

A: If you prefer a thicker gravy consistency, you can mash a few pieces of the cooked fish into the curry or add a cornstarch slurry (mix cornstarch with water) towards the end of cooking.

Q: Can I make this curry ahead of time?

A: Yes, this curry can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The flavors will develop further, and you can gently reheat the curry before serving.

Q: Can I freeze the leftovers?

A: Yes, you can freeze the leftover fish curry for up to 2-3 months. However, keep in mind that the texture of the fish may change slightly after freezing and thawing.

Q: What should I serve with the Bengali fish curry?

A: This curry is traditionally served with steamed rice, but you can also pair it with Indian flatbreads like paratha, naan, or luchi (Bengali-style puffy bread).
