Mustard fish is easy and simple

Many go for ready made mustard paste available in market. But  I feel its very unhealthy.

Tips: Just ground  the dry mustard seeds in a mixer and you can store the powdered mustard in a jar  in the fridge. Whenever you want to prepare anything made of mustard just soak this powder in normal water not warm or hot water. Just take a medium size soft and clean cloth and drain the mustard soaked water through this cloth , keeping the cloth  upon a bowl. The remaining mustard should be squeezed   slowly and you will get  the thick paste . Your mustard paste is ready.

YIELD: 4 Servings

•  Take fish of your choice -5  cut pcs. If pomphret  you can use as you like .Marinate the fish with turmeric and slat.or you can try fresh Hilsa too.
