Sorshe Maach (Mustard Fish)

A really quick and easy way to make a batch of mustard fish. You can make it everyday or even for a quiet dinner at home. I recommend pomfret or ruhi (rohu) as some people call it. 

500 gms. fish
1 tablespoon mustard oil
3 tablespoons curd
6 green chillies, 3 whole, 3 slit
4 tablespoons mustard seeds
6 tablespoons of water
Salt, to taste

First take the mustard seeds and grind them with water. Add the curd and 3 whole green chillies to the paste.
Then heat the mustard oil in a pressure cooker till it's smoking. 
Gently add the washed fish, mustard paste, salt and 3 slit chillies. 
Close the cooker and shut 3 minutes after the first whistle. 
Voila! The fish is ready to ravish with some steamed rice.
