Komola Katla -Katla fish cooked in Orange Juice
No points for guessing I've been inspired by the movie Maacher Jhol. But I've added my little touch to that recipe and have made it my own. You'd actually be surprised how good this Maacher Jhol would taste. So...
What we need:
*4-5 peices of Katla/Rohu marinaded with salt, turmeric and a teaspoon of Mustard Oil.
* 1 inch Ginger
* Coriander leaves a handful
* 3-4 green chillies
* 1 big tomato
* Jeera, Turmeric and Red Chilli powder
* Black-cumin (Kalo Jeera/Kalonji) 1 teaspoon
* 2 cups Orange Juice

* 3-4 green chillies
* 1 big tomato
* Jeera, Turmeric and Red Chilli powder
* Black-cumin (Kalo Jeera/Kalonji) 1 teaspoon
* 2 cups Orange Juice
How we do it:
* First we'll obviously fry our Fish in a skillet in shallow oil. Bengalis would use nothing other than Mustard Oil for cooking their Fish! Also we don't like to fry it very much, just a little brown on the edges.
*While the fish is getting fried, we'll grind the ginger, 1 green chilli and the coriander leaves in the food processor.
* Set aside the fried fish and in the same skillet splutter Kalo Jeere and 3 green chillies slit length wise.
* Add the contents out of the grinder onto your cooking pan and sauté till they are brown. Now add the chopped tomato and cook some more.
* Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, jeera powder 1 teaspoon each and sauté till it gets a good color and the oil separates.
* Now add 3 cups of water, adjust salt and sugar and bring to boil. You can now slowly let down the fried fish pieces and let it simmer for 5 more mins.
* Finish by adding 2 cups of orange juice. We shouldn't cook much after adding the juice as our Jhol might get bitter. Simmer for 1-2 mins and turn off heat.
* Enjoy with hot hot rice.
