DOI-PABDA : PABDA FISH WITH A CURD BASE GRAVY

Pabda fish is a sea- fish  and happens to be a favorite of most of the Bengali families. Usually, the dish for which pabda is famous is 'pabdar jhaal ' or 'pabda curry '. However, I experimented with curd, and trust me , it turned out really well. So, sharing this yummilicious recipe with you all. 
The INGREDIENTS are :
(1)10 pcs of pabda.
(2) Onion paste . ( 2 pcs. of onions should be taken ).
(3) Garlic paste. ( 1/2 pc of garlic should be taken).
(4) 1 tablespoon of ginger paste.
(5) 2 tablespoon of green chili paste. 
(6) 100 gm of plane white curd. ( 150 gm can be taken too, depending on the amount of gravy required.)
(7) 2 tablespoon of turmeric powder  and a cup of turmeric powder.
(8) Salt, as per taste. Usually 1 tablespoon serves the purpose. Remember that pabda is a sea-fish and contains salt. 
(9) Mustard oil. 
(10) Coriander leaves.
         Now that you have the ingredients arranged, follow these STEPS :
(1) Marinate the fish with  1 cup of turmeric powder for 1- 2 hour.
(2) Heat mustard oil in pan. 
(3) Fry the fish till they become golden brown.
(4) Keep the fried fish in a separate paste and if there is any oil remaining, don't use it for the rest of the procedure.
(5) Wash the pan well with water  or take another pan.
(6) Heat mustard oil in pan.
(7) Add the onion paste , garlic paste and salt. 
(8) Take the curd in a bowl and add chili paste, ginger paste and turmeric powder. Mix well to form a batter.
(9) When the onions become golden brown, pour in the batter and stir for around 2 minutes.
(10) Add the coriander leaves. 
(11) Pour the fired fish and add 1 cup of water.
(12) Cook for  3-5 minutes in high heat.
(13) Turn off the oven, garnish and then the dish is ready to be served.
