Mach Aru Kala Teel Curry - Fish Curry in Black Sesame


Oh well.. long since my last recipe... sorry about that. Here is one absolute authentic Assamese dish.
Ingredients:


  1. Fish ( Rahu or Climbing Perch)

  2. Black Sesame seeds (Kala Teel) - About half cup, paste ( Use the black variety with the "chilka")

  3. Galric - 7 to 8 Medium cloves

  4. Salt to taste

  5. Green Chilly- about 3, slit them

  6. Water - Boiled

  7. mustered Oil - 2 Spoon
Method:
Clean the fish and deep fry, do not forget to add salt and turmeric. The fish should be 90% fried.
Heat a wok ( Karhai). Add the oil and bring it to boil. Add the garlic cloves. Sputter till brown. Add the Gingely / till paste. Add Salt and the green chilly simultaneously. Add the boiling hot water. ( The amount of water should be double the amount of gravy desired. About a Liter is fine for this amount of other ingredient). Let is come to bubble. Add the fish pieces.
Now let it shimmer on a very low flame. It is ready to serve when the water is half of its amount. serve with rice....
