Nothing can beat mum’s home cooked meals. One of the things I have always craved for is my mum’s fried fish. I used to eat them almost every week when I was in Nepal but since I came here, I wasn’t able to make it as tasty as my mom used to make it. So last night I got mom to cook the fish for us so I that I could take notes of the recipe and I am sharing this with all of you too.
Ingredients
- 1 whole Rohu fish (2kg) cut into pieces about 1 to 1 ½ cm thick
- 3 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 3 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 2 teaspoons Chilli powder
- 2 teaspoons Garlic mince
- 2 teaspoons Ginger powder
- 2 tablespoon Mustard seeds (or powder)
- Salt to taste (I used 5 teaspoons)
- 300 ml vegetable oil
Method
- If you are using mustard seed, use mortar and pestle or grinder to make the powder.
- In a large bowl, add fish, Coriander powder, Cumin powder, Turmeric powder, Garlic mince, Ginger powder, Mustard powder and salt.
- Mix it well with a help of wooden spoon as it has sharp bones.
- Leave it in the fridge for 30 minutes or more if possible.
- In a large pan, heat oil.
- Add pieces of fish in a pan making sure they are don’t touching each other.
- Cover the pan and let it cook until brown.
- Turn the fishes and fry till it is brown on the other side too.
- Have a plate ready with a couple of kitchen paper towels on it.
- Place the fishes on the plate to soak excess oil out.
- It is best enjoyed hot and be careful of the small bones.
Take care everyone,

This used to be my favorite too, in Nepal! I miss it so much. Do you know what alternative I can use for Rohu? I have all other ingredients more or less
Rohu are the best and we get it frozen from overseas.
When I goggled it, I saw that you can buy Carp fish in Poland. Try it out and let me know hoe you went.
