Cooking Instructions
Boal Macher Jhaal
Ingredients
- Boal fish: 4 pcs, large
- Onion: 1, large
- Tomato: 1, medium
- Ginger: 1″
- Garlic: 5-6 cloves
- Mustard Oil: 4 tbsp
- Whole Spices:
- Dry Red Chili: 1-2
- Cumin Seeds: 1 tsp
- Ground Spices:
- Turmeric: 1 tsp
- Red Chili: 2 tsp
- Coriander: 1 tsp
- Cumin 2 tsp
- Salt: 1.5 tsp
- Sugar: 1 tsp
Instructions
- Wash & clean fish carefully under running water. Take fish pieces in a large bowl and smear them with ½ tsp turmeric powder, ½ tsp salt. Drizzle ¼ tsp mustard oil on fish pieces and set aside for 15-20 mins. It will ensure less oil spluttering while frying.
- Chop onion and ginger roughly and blend with garlic to make a thick puree. Add only 2-3 tsp of water if necessary.
- Roughly chop tomato and make puree. Do not add water at all.
- Heat rest of the mustard oil in a flat-bottomed pan/wok. Add fish pieces one by one and fry until the bottom side turn golden brown. Flip fish pieces (after 2-3 mins) and do the same for other side too. Flip once again if necessary. It will take around 8-10 mins to fry all 4 large pieces of fish. My fish was extra-large so it took me 15 mins to fry all of them. Remove fish from oil and save for later.
- Transfer the oil (same in which fish is fried) to a heavy bottomed pan (preferably wok). Add dried red chili and cumin seeds in hot oil and allow to splutter.
- Add onion mixture along with sugar & salt and fry for 1-2 mins or until paste becomes translucent.
- Pour tomato puree with half of the red chili powder and stir for 1 min.
- Put rest of red chili powder along with other ground spices and continue stirring until moisture in masala evaporates and oil floats on top.
Now begin the art of ‘Koshano’
- Add-in little water at a time and keep stirring until oil is spotted on the side of the pan.
- Once masala mixture turn into deep red colour and oil covers the surface add 2 cups of warm water and bring it to boil.
- Add fried fish pieces one by one very carefully to the jhol/curry and allow to boil.
- Once curry starts boiling cover the pan and cook for 10 mins on simmer.
- Remove cover and check if fish is cooked thoroughly. Adjust seasoning.
- Remove fish pieces very gently as cooked fish is soft and delicate.
- Adjust the amount of curry as needed. If you want less curry cook for few more mins until it reaches to your desired consistency. If you want more curry, add ½ cup of warm water and cook for 3-5 mins on high flame.
- Transfer fish pieces in serving bowls and cover it with curry. Serve with steaming hot rice.
- Enjoy!
