ABOUT Rui Radhuni Jhol (Rohu Fish in Celery Seed Gravy - Bengali Style) RECIPE

This is a traditional Bengali Fish Curry, where I have used Rohu Fish. The base of the gravy is that of boiled and blended masoor dal (red lentils) and radhuni paste (celery seeds paste). This particular seed almost resembles ajwain / carom seeds and has a very distinct and an aromatic flavour. It is a very simple and an easy recipe with no compromise on the taste. It is best relished with plain steamed rice and a dash of lime.

Ingredients Serving: 4

4-5 pieces of Rohu Fish
3 tbsp. mustard oil
1/2 tsp. cumin seeds
pinch of asafoetida
1 onion
2-3 garlic cloves
1" ginger
3-4 green chilies
1 tbsp. radhuni (celery seeds)
1/2 cup boiled & blended masoor dal
salt to taste
1/2 tsp. turmeric powder
1 tsp. ghee
1 tsp. coriander leaves to garnish (opt)

Instructions

This is how radhuni seeds looks like.
Marinate the fish with a pinch of salt & turmeric powder for 5-10 minutes.
Heat oil in a pan & fry the fish till light golden in colour. Drain & keep aside.
Temper the same oil with cumin seeds & asafoetida. Saute for a few seconds. Add the ground paste and turmeric powder. Saute till the oil separates.
Add the masoor dal and saute for a few seconds.
Then add 1 cup water, salt and remaining green chilies. Bring it to a boil & add the fish pieces. Cover and simmer for 4-5 minutes.

Garnish with coriander leaves and serve with hot steamed rice.
