Today I will share step-by-step how to make the Amra Diye Amudi/Amodi Macher Tok /Amudi Fish Recipe with Hog Plum, which is medium spicy and of course very delectable. The marinated Amudi /Amodi fish are fried and then simmered in a thin sour stew made with hog plum and ginger, tempered with mustard and curry leaves, and finished in a warm, spicy, cumin, coriander flavored sour stew.

The ingredients used for this recipe are
Amudi/Amodi fish: Always purchase fresh Amudi fish, though sometimes it is difficult, but try to choose a better one
Amra/ Hog Plum: Here I have taken a small tender one, which can be blended easily
Fresh red chili: These chilies are very hot and soft, and red in color to give a bright color (otherwise you can soak the dry red chili and grind them)
Cooking oil: though mustard oil is preferable, you can use any type of cooking oil
Other ingredients are turmeric powder, cumin-coriander powder , mustard seeds, ginger, curry leaves, and salt
How to Make Amra Diye Amudi/Amodi Macher Tok
Clean and wash the Amudi fish, put them in a mixing bowl, and add turmeric powder and salt
Rub the fish with salt and turmeric powder and keep them aside
Heat oil in a pan, fry the Amudi fishes, in both sides and take them out from the oil
Add hog plum pieces, ginger, turmeric powder, cumin-coriander powder, salt, and fresh red chilis, in a blender jar, and make a fine paste
Now heat oil in the same pan and add mustard seeds and curry leaves for tempering
As they splutter and sizzle, add the hog plum with other spices paste, and mix them well
Let it boil for 2 minutes on a high flame
Now lower the heat, add the fried Amudi fish, and allow them to cook for 2 minutes on medium flame
Turn off the flame, transfer them to a serving plate, and serve with rice and dal
