Ingredients

Serves : 5 

  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or Soyabean oil
  • 1 tablespoon Methi ( Fenugreek) seeds

  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1/2 tablespoon Turmeric powder
  • As needed- Salt
  • 3-4 Green chillies

Directions

Prep:5min  ›  Cook:20min  ›  Ready in:25min 

  1. Heat oil on a pan for 3-4 minutes.
  2. Fry the methi(Fenugreek)seeds until the distinct smell of methi comes out.
  3. Add yoghurt to the fried methi seeds. Also add the half cup of water, turmeric powder and salt. Let the yoghurt boil.
  4. Add the Ilish ( Hilsa) fish pieces and cook for 5-8 minutes. The fish should be cooked when the oil floats on top of the curry.
