Hello there, its 6.26 PM in India, lets take a cup of coffee with me. Well pathetic hot Chennai. Last two days I was ill, and Sam went to cook. I must not say he is as good as me (lolz..) but yeap, he tries and sometimes few good preparations come out. Like the last day he prepared "Keema-Curry" and it was really delicious (of course, I helped him to prepare the masala). Surely I'll share that recipe later with u but now I am gonna share something different.
As I felt well today morning, I tried a very authentic bong cuisine. Before marriage I loved this recipe, my parents also cook very well, and my maa prepared this for me. Yes I am talking about Murighanto. Trust me, its a mouth watering all time favorite dish. And it is very easy..
The main ingredients are a large fish head and basmati rice, you may use other qualities of Atap Chal also but you know a true foodie must not avoid the fragrance of a dish along with taste. Well let me give u a total list....
Marinate the fish head with turmeric and salt for 10 minutes.
Now, heat oil in a pan. then fry well the fish head (don't put it whole, break it first or break it in the time of frying. Keep aside.
Fry the potatoes in the same oil and also keep aside.
Then lightly fry the basmati rice and take out of the pan.
Pour some oil again, put the bay leaf and chopped onion, and saute until the onions go brown.
Make a paste of all the spices and put them in the pan.
When the masala is done (u will find the oil comes out of it) put the fried head, fried potatoes and rice in it. Saute in a medium flame for 2-4 minutes.
Then pour 3 small cups (or more if u need) of water, salt and sugar.
Cover it. Take out from the oven after the rice and potatoes are boiled and the whole thing become dry and compact. Pour the ghee on it and serve hot.
Well I know the picture did not come out well, but the reason behind it was, whenever this came out from the oven, a snatcher named Sam just came out from another room, and took half of the dish at once and poof..
Well if you try this, please let me know your feedback. Have a good day still we meet again....
with love
