Hilsa fish or Ilishh Machh steamed in a paste of mustard, poppy seeds, yogurt and green chilli with a slight hint of garlic is given the beautiful name 'bhapa illish'. It is a Bengali's paradise...try it !!!
Ingredients
Mix all of the masala paste along with yogurt, salt and turmeric. Pour a generous amount of Mustard oil into it. Mustard oil is a key ingredient to this recipe and it is a must.
Marinate the fish pieces with the mixture. Keep the fishes aside for 2-3 hours. If you want to have extra curry then add more water.
Pour the marinated fish in a microwave safe bowl, put on the lid and microwave it on high for 5-6 minutes. You may have to adjust the timing based on your microwave capacity.
