This is an authentic bengali recipe which is simply delicious.The taste of this recipe is completely different from other bengali dishes because of the pungent flavor of mustard.This recipe is considered to be healthier than other non veg dishes as it is cooked in steam and very less oil is required for it. Any fish like Rohu, Katla,Telapia, pabda, pomfret and specially Hilsa (illish maach) which is highly recommended for this dish.

cool and easy preparation. I always wanted to try this dish. But I would love to know how do u prepare the mustard paste??? Just grind mustard to smooth paste or any other procedure??
Poonam, thnx! for liking the recipe. For smooth paste,just soak mustard for about 2 hours then grind it along with green chili and wait for 10 min.(so tht it becomes soft) in between and then grind again.
very easy to make..looks very delicious.. Check my blog for a treat.
Hi, What if i am not using a microwave and want to cook it in a conventional oven? How should I do it in that case?
