    Debjani's Note

    Growing up, I had a traumatic experience when it came to Magurer Jhol. Every week, the kids in my family were forced to eat this runny fish curry. My dislike for the dish never wavered.

    But now, when we pick fresh Magur Mach from the market, I cook up a different version of this dish - Magur Macher Rosha. It's a family favorite and is packed with natural goodness that's ideal for growing kids. With its unique taste and texture, it's one of those dishes that I can enjoy every once in a while - something I never thought would ever happen!

    Mehebub and I have a fondness for Magur macher rosha, so I no longer need to indulge in Jire-Morich jhol as frequently as before. We decided to not to bother Pasta with the jire moricher jhol!
