CREAMY FISH
Some people might be shocked reading Fish and Milk together. There are a lot of myths attached to this combination.

We have been eating fish cooked in milk/curd since childhood and have never faced any issues. Today I am sharing an simple recipe which is quick to make and a crowd pleaser.

Ingredients for 4 Servings

• 8 pieces/slices of Rohu/Katla/Tilapia/Hilsa
• 2 cup milk
• 1/4 teaspoon nigella seeds
• 1 tablespoon ginger-green chilli paste
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• Salt according to taste
• 4 tablespoon mustard oil

Method

• Clean the fish. Rub it with turmeric and salt.Keep it for 5 minutes.
• Pour 3 tablespoon mustard oil in a kadhai. Once it reaches smoking point fry the fish on both sides till they turn brown. Remove.
• In a separate pan boil the milk and keep aside.
• In the same kadhai add lil bit of mustard oil. Temper it with nigella seeds.
• Add the ginger – chilli paste and cook till the raw smell goes.
• Add the milk. Let it simmer till it comes to boil. Lower the flame.
• Add 1 cup water and let it simmer.
• Add the fish and let it cook till you get desired consistency.
