- Ilish Mach: 4 pc, large pieces preferable
- Turmeric powder: 2 tsp, I had extra-large pieces
- Salt: 1 tsp
- Mustard Oil: ΒΌ cup
- Green chili: 1-2, sliced
- Wash and clean hilsa fish pieces carefully. Marinate with salt and turmeric powder and keep aside for 10-15 mins.
- Heat mustard oil in a deep bottomed pan to the smoking point. Simmer the flame and add marinated hilsa pieces one by one carefully to the hot oil.
- Cook for 2-3 mins and then flip the fish very gently without breaking into pieces.
- Cook for another 2 mins and flip again to check whether fish is cooked through.
- If both sides of each fish is turned into golden brown and firm, ilish mach is cooked.
- Remove ilish from oil with care; they tend to break into pieces.
- Transfer the hoi oil into a bowl and add green chili with pinch of salt in it.
- Serve Ilish Mach Bhaja and the hoi oil immediately with hot steamed rice. Enjoy!
