A Bengali meal is always incomplete without a fish item. Either it's a fish fry or a curry like Macher Kalia, Macher Jhol, Bhapa Ilish or Paturi. Each dish has it's own charm & delicacy. So here I am with such a dish which is truly robust, a taste that lingers in your mouth. The recipe of ‘Doi Maach’ that I am going to share is very easy to follow. Just marinate the fish for 15 to 20 minutes and slow cook for 15 minutes. Voila, your dish is ready!
Serve Bengali Doi Maach along with Chingiri Paturi and hot steamed rice for a perfect Bengali weekday lunch or dinner.
