What's the dish in the top left?
This is "Mustard fish curry", or "Shorshe Maach"
Looks really good
What is shorshe. In gujarati it is marshli for fish. I know some words in gujarati
Shorshe is a Bengali word which means "mustard" and this recipe (mustard fish curry)is also Bengali 😀
How would you make a mustard curry (gravy). There is a jar of Dijon Mustard in the pantry, but I am guessing this is different.
I actually make a mustard fish curry at home. I first soak yellow mustard seeds for a few hours, then grind them with ginger, garlic, and spices to make a fresh mustard paste. I cook the fish with this paste, along with onions, turmeric, green chilies, and a little yogurt for richness. It gives a strong, authentic mustard flavor—quite different from Dijon mustard.
Might try this. Really enjoy Indian food actually, and do cook it but mostly use cumin/corriander powder, garam masala. Never cooked with nigella, poppy seeds etc and probably would not buy them. Sure I can find some yellow mustard stores at an Indian grocer and just gonna try with the gujarati spices. https://rumkisgoldenspoon.com/shorshe-maach-recipe/
Are you from india?
Well, its kinda like this. My great grandfather arrived with some other elderly men in NZ by boat via Australia, - unsure of exact year, but I estimate between 1920 and 1930. Later he returned to India and bought back his wife and three sons, one of those is my now deceased grandfather. He went back to India and returned with my grandmother and their child son. That child son was my father. Unsure about my great grandfather, but my grandfather returned to India in 1947 and walked on the salt marches. After that event, they all returned to NZ permanantly and only returned for family visits. My father then went to India and married my mother, and then she came to NZ a few years later - she married my dad at 16 or 17....crazy right. My mother is (was - she is elderly now and a bit lazy in the kitchen) a great cook, and actually despite being surrounded by European food, I prefer Indian flavours.
Nice! That’s such an amazing story.Do you still visit India often?”
No, no connection really.
