Serves 2 people: One large whole fish 4 Onions 4 Tomatoes 1Tbsp Mustard seeds Turmeric Powder Chilli Powder Some Fish Curry Spice Mix Lemon Corriander Took me about an hour to cook this, minus prep time the night before. Not having access to Ilish in Stockholm, I used one big Telapia - but choose you fish to be whatever you want it to be I suppose :). Scale and gut the fish if doesn't already come dressed. If you buy a frozen one like I did, thaw it overnight in the fridge. Mix turmeric powder, chilli powder, salt, MDH Fish Curry mix. Add about the same or 1.5 times of the amount of spice of vegetable oil to make it into a paste. Cover the entire fish with this paste. The layer of the spice should be quite thick and noticable. Seal with fish in an airtight plastic bag an...
