Prep the Hilsa Fish<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start by giving your Hilsa fish pieces a good rinse under cold water. Pat them dry gently with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Season them lightly with salt and turmeric powder, rubbing it in for an even coating. Set aside while you prepare the other ingredients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2. Heat Up the Mustard Oil<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a sturdy, deep pan or kadai, heat up the mustard oil over medium-high heat. Let it reach a smoking point; this step is crucial for unlocking that authentic Bengali flavour profile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>3. Sizzle with Onions, Garlic, and Ginger<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carefully add the finely chopped onion to the hot oil and saut\u00e9 until it turns golden brown and releases its sweet aroma. Toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring continuously until the kitchen is filled with their aromatic dance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>4. Tomato Tango<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, it&#8217;s time to introduce the diced tomatoes and slit green chilies to the pan. Let them mingle with the onions, garlic, and ginger until the tomatoes soften and begin to break down, forming a rich base for our curry adventure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>5. Spice it Up<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower the heat to medium and sprinkle in the turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, and cumin powder. Stir well to coat the ingredients, ensuring every spice gets a chance to bloom and infuse into the curry base.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>6. Swim in the Hilsa<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carefully nestle the seasoned Hilsa fish pieces into the pan, making sure they&#8217;re coated evenly with the curry base. Gently spoon some of the sauce over the fish to ensure they&#8217;re surrounded by the flavorful concoction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>7. Simmer and Sail Away<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pour in the water as needed to achieve your desired curry consistency. Bring the curry to a gentle simmer, cover the pan with a lid, and let it cook for about 10-12 minutes. This allows the fish to cook through gently, absorbing all the intricate flavours of the curry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>8.
