This is how I cook my macher kalia (fish curry). Its so easy, just try it. Chop some onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger and green chillies. Put them in a grinder. Grind them until they become a paste. Cut the fish into small pieces (as you like it). Then clean the fish under running water. Take a kadhai (large fry pan) and put some musturd oil in it. Heat the pan in a mild flame. Now drop all the fish one by one into the fry pan. Fry all the fish under mild flame until they get a reddish colour. Then pour all the paste on the fish in the fry pan. Stir gently and add some water if needed. Now add some haldi powder, salt, dhania powder, jeera powder, and chicken masala ( yes, you heard that right - I use it in macher kalia, interesting is int it). Again add some water and stir it. Now add some tomato ketchep sauce to it. Stir well. Now cover the lid and simmer it for 15 mins. After 15 mins, sprinkle a pinch of garam masala powder on it and quickly cover the lid and keep it till lunch (or dinner). To garnish, add freshly chopped green dhania patta on it. I sometime use grated cheese if there is no dhania patta near by. Believe me, I love to experiment with food. Next time I plan to add some chopped pepperoni pizza.
