How to make Shorshe Posto Ilish

Coat the fish with the mustard, poppy seed paste, green chillies (slit in between), salt, half of the mustard oil, turmeric and marinate them for 15 mins.
In a pan, add the rest of the mustard oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion seeds and let it splutter. Carefully place the fish and the marinade into the oil. Flip after 30 seconds and add the rest of the marinade.
Meanwhile whisk the curd and add it to the fish. Then add 1/4 cup of water and cook the fish till the oil starts separating.
Add some more green chillies to garnish. Voila!

My Tip:

I added a teaspoon of yogurt, this makes the gravy extra creamy and yummy.
