Ingredients

  • 6 pieces Fish Chunk around 500g
  • 200 g Plain Curd
  • 3 tablespoon Onion Paste Optional
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger Paste Optional
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic Paste Optional
  • 3-4 Green Chilli
  • ½ teaspoon Bengali Garam Masala Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Kashmiri Chilli Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 2 tablespoon Mustard Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt or to taste

Instructions

  • %Making Doi Maach
  • Ensure that the Fish chunks are thoroughly washed before applying a small amount of Salt and Turmeric Powder to them.
  • In a large bowl (preferably a Glass Bowl with a lid), whisk the plain curd or plain yogurt using a spoon.
  • Next, incorporate the Onion Paste, Ginger Paste, Garlic Paste, Bengali Garam Masala Powder, Kashmiri Chilli Powder, Turmeric Powder, Sugar, Salt, and Mustard Oil into the yogurt, ensuring they are well combined.
  • To dilute the mixture, add a minimum of two cups of water.
  • Place the Fish pieces onto the yogurt mixture, ensuring that each piece is evenly coated, and allow them to marinate for approximately 45 minutes to 1 Hour.

To Make Doi Maach in the Microwave

  • Place the fish, along with the marinade, into a microwave-safe bowl that has a lid.
  • Microwave the bowl on medium heat, or 40%, for 20 minutes.
  • Following this, uncover the bowl and insert sliced green chilies.
  • Proceed to microwave the bowl on high heat, or 100%, for an additional 10 minutes. This will infuse the Doi Maach with a delightful scent of green chilies while preserving their vibrant color.

Making Doi Maach in a normal Stovetop

  • If a microwave oven is not accessible, simply place the fish in a pan with the curd mixture and cook over low heat for 15 minutes.
  • Then, increase the flame to high and cook for an additional 5 minutes after adding green chilies.
  • Allow the dish to rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes
