Ingredients
- 6 pieces hilsa fish
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon red chilli powder
- 1 teaspoon green chilli paste
- salt as per taste
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard paste
- 2 teaspoons black mustard paste
- 3 tablespoons coconut grated
- 2 tablespoons mustard oil
- bottle gourd leaves or pumpkin leaves as needed
Instructions
- Clean and wash the hilsa fish. Add a bit of salt, red chilli powder, and turmeric powder to the fish and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
- Mix turmeric powder, red chilli powder, two types of mustard paste, and green chilli paste to form a smooth paste.
- Add grated coconut, mustard oil, and salt to the paste and mix well. Marinate the fish with this mixture for another 20 minutes.
- Place bottle gourd or pumpkin leaves in warm water to make them pliable. This will prevent them from tearing while wrapping.
- After marinating the fish for 20 minutes, place them inside the leaves and fold them securely, ensuring the oil doesn't escape during frying.
- Heat mustard oil in a frying pan and lightly fry the fish-wrapped leaves on both sides for about 6-7 minutes. Cover the pan while frying.
- Once done, serve the delicious mustard hilsa fish koftas with hot rice.
