Fish in Mustard Sauce Recipe is an easy one to follow. Rohu fish is slow cooked in mustard sauce for only 10 minutes.The result is delectable.

You can count this Recipe as my Family’s Recipe as I learnt from my Mom. The best thing about this dish is you do not have to fry the fish.All You need to do before you cook the fish is to marinate for 20-30 minutes.

Fish in Mustard Sauce Recipe

Using Mustard paste in Fish is a trend being followed in Odisha & West Bengal. There are hundreds of recipes that one can find .In this recipe , we are using only 2 tsp oil. That makes it even more healthier.
I strongly recommend using  mustard oil in this recipe. That brings the best flavours to the dish.

Fish to be Used

One can use Rohu fish or Catla fish to prepare this dish.These two varieties are easily available at any fish stall in Bhubaneswar , Odisha. ♥

You can also try the dish with Pomfret fish slices.
The head of the fish is also used to make different kind of curries. You can check this dish with Cabbage.

I will be sharing one more recipe using only the fish head next week.

Fish in Mustard Sauce is one of my favourite dish. Serve with a hot bowl of steamed rice , the soulful meal ever!

Tips and Tricks in making Fish in Mustard Sauce

1.Use Mustard Oil to prepare the dish.
2. I have used Green Tomato as I didn’t have the red one at home. You need one tomato to bring the sourness.Due to ongoing lockdown in the Country , I am not stepping out.
3. You need to julienne the Onion. Slice the onion in half from the top . Now discard the outer layer and cut into thin slices.
4. you can add more green chillies if you wish.

5. After making the mustard paste , let it rest for 10 mins before you use it for marination. Immediate use of mustard paste may result bitterness in the curry.
