Shorshe Maach (Fish With Mustard) Recipe



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. Another specialty of this recipe is that this dish is very easy to cook in Microvewave and takes very less cooking time.

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.
