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).
