Notes
- I do not use Turmeric powder while cooking Sada Ilish. This is to give a paler color to the curry. However, Mustard oil adds natural color to it.
- You may use other oils instead of mustard oil, however, this dish is prepared with almost no spices and hence the pungent taste of mustard oil boosts the flavor.
