Sorshe bhetki #Bengali #Cooking
I do add some colmans mustard powder and some Dijon to the mustard (+ bit of grated coconut and a green 🌶️) paste. Some potent mustard oil is used to season the fish so I don't add too much of otherwise 'raw' mustard oil.
The fish can be pan cooked, simmered in this or steamed (or parceled in banana leaves and cooked)
Steam/baked here for a super lunch today

Classic #Bengali #Cooking - Mustard #Fish #Curry
Sorshe bhetki (barramundi) (bhappa = steamed)
First long soak mustard seeds (4:1 black yellow) then blend/paste with water and strain. Fair bit of water is fine and I do a 2 step strain (reblendibg the initial strain that's through a fine strainer), 2nd strain is coarse and some skin goes through and thats ok
Also reblend paste after strain with a bit of grated coconut and a green 🌶️ (I don't put yogurt in this mix, some do).

Kid2 loves this way with 🥔 - and extra crispy (a touch more than my preference)

Julienne, rinse, squeeze dry, salt, chilli powder, turmeric and bit of mustard oil. Let sit a while. Squeeze, fry (375/+ ⁰C oil)

So with that bit of simmer to let it all meld, take off the cover, there shouldn't be much sauce, more of a paste or slurry that coats the potatoes. Finish with some ghee. Mix, serve hot.
(This turned out fine, not great - it's meant to be cinnamon heavy, this was a bit extra).

Enjoy!

Short 🧵 on #Cooking Aloor dum (potatoes; #Bengali style) 1/4

Steam (or boil) potatoes and cut in two. These would usually be skinned, but I figured I'd keep the extra nutrients (thin skins anyhow). Toss with a bit of turmeric, just to lightly coat. Heat oil (mustard typically, or a bit of mustard with mostly canola), not too much, sort of deep frying the potatoes (in batches) - remember they're already cooked so just crisping the outside a bit. Strain the oil

The strained mustard paste + bit of grated 🥥 & a 🌶️ in the blender. Used it for my nontraditional take (that includes a bit of miso) on sorshe [mustard] ilish. Very nontraditional as I used gindara/black cod (sable fish) not ilish/Hilsa (can't trust frozen quality & it's overfished).
I've made bhetki/barramundi like this to good effect*
so figured sweet, fattier gindara would work well.
Made a bit extra to give to some students

The difference in sound quality between Spotify and YouTube Music is barely noticeable. Considering that Spotify’s Bangla and Arabic music library is quite limited compared to YouTube Music, I’m thinking of sticking with YT Music. I often can't find my favorite Bangla songs on Spotify, and I can't afford to pay for both as I'm cutting down on living expenses.
