Scrambled Fish with Mustard Recipe

Ingredients:
1. 2 basa (pink) fillets, around 350gm; cut into large pieces
2. ¾ tsp turmeric powder
3. 1 ½ tbsp mustard seeds
4. 1 cup curd
5. 6-7 green chillies
6. 2-3 tbsp mustard oil
7. Salt, to season
8. Sugar, a pinch
9. 2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped
Method:
1. Grind the mustard to a powder in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder and keep aside.
2. Whisk the curd well with turmeric powder, salt, half of the ground mustard powder and 1 tbsp of mustard oil.
3. Add the fish pieces to this marinade, coat well and keep aside for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
4. Heat the remaining mustard oil in a pan and add the fish pieces along with marinade.
5. Add the green chillies whole. Since you are adding the whole chillies, it will only impart the flavour and not much heat. But if you prefer more heat, reduce the number of chillies and slit in half. Add a pinch of sugar also.
6. Also taste to check if the dish has enough of the mustard flavour or add more of the mustard powder.
7. Cover and cook till the fish is done.
8. Once the fish is cooked, increase heat and break the fish into small pieces with the ladle like you would while making scrambled eggs. Basa is a soft fish so it will break easily.
9. Stir cook on high till all the extra moisture is absorbed.
10. Finish off with chopped coriander leaves.
