Gule macher jhol

The heat this year is killing. Being a mom of two schoolgoer boys I have to look to their tummy's health. So light beneficial fish stu for lunch to go with soft rice,as they fly to their fields to play.
These lively variety of fish looks like eel can be kept in a fish bowl or big utensil for few days. Just Expert hands have to catch them and prepare them to be cooked. Otherwise get it cleaned in the fish market itself. Boosting the blood and our eyes 'Gule maach' it is....

Ingredients
Gule fish 250 gms
Potatoes 2
Greenchillies 4
Bori of urad dal 100 gms
Tomatoes 1
Cumin powder 1tbsp
Black pepper powder 1tsp
Turmeric 2tsp
Mustard oil
Salt

Procedure
Clean the fish and marinate with salt and turmeric. Shallow fry the fish in batches in mustard oil.
Heat 1tbsp of mustard oil in a kadhai. Fry the boris or vadis and keep aside. If needed heat anther spoon of oil now.Fry potatoes cut in wedges add tomatoes and all the ground spices mixed with half a cup of water. Saute till oil separates.
Add  250 ml of warm water and let it boil.
Add the fried fish and the slit green chillies. Cover cook in sim for 10 mins. Add the fried boris and put off the gas.Stand covered for 10 mins.

A very nutritious soup which nourishes the body is ready to be savoured with rice. Some children who are fussy with fish, don't worry give them the  runny soup omitting the fish. Its equally helpful.
