Doctors’ Choice mustard oil is rich in Omega 3 and filled with essential nutrients. Let’s relive this iconic recipe:

Ingredients:

• 4 Bhetki fish fillets
• 3 tbsp Doctor’s Choice Kachi Ghani Mustard Oil
• 2 tbsp mustard seeds (soaked and ground)
• 2 tbsp poppy seeds (soaked and ground)
• 2 tbsp yogurt
• 2 tbsp grated coconut
• 1 tbsp green chili paste
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• Salt to taste
• 4 banana leaves (lightly heated to soften)
• 1 tbsp sugar (optional)
• Thread for tying

Method:

Step 1: Prepare the Mustard Marinade

Let’s start with the most important part of the recipe, which enriches the real taste of the whole dish, that is, the mustard marinade. Take a bowl and mix mustard paste, poppy seed paste, yoghurt, grated coconut, green chilli paste, turmeric, salt, and sugar. Add Doctors’ Choice mustard oil to make it more flavourful. 

Step 2: Marinate the Fish

Here comes another vital step, as it ensures the fish absorbs the rich and tangy flavours. Take the mustard mixture and coat each Bhetki fillet and let it sit for 20 minutes. 

Step 3: Wrap & Tie

Place the marinated fillet on a banana leaf and coat it with more kacchi ghani mustard oil, fold it into a parcel, and tie it with a thread to keep it intact. 

Step 4: Steam or Pan Cook

You can both steam and pan cook it; to steam the parcel, keep it for 15-20 minutes or cook it in a covered pan on low heat. 

Step 5: Serve & Savor

Here’s the time to relish the rich Bengali delicacy. Unwrap the paturis and serve them hot with steamed rice.
