Khaira Macher Jhal Recipe / Khaira Fish Recipe with Mustard Paste

The types of equipment used for this recipe are
Blender
Mixing bowl
Tawa/Griddle
Spatula
The ingredients used for this recipe are
Khaira fish: Though this fish is very difficult to get fresh, still you have to get this otherwise while frying it would break and the bad smell would come.
Mustard seeds: It is always better to take black mustard, which is having a strong flavor, but you have to strain the paste after blending; otherwise it may taste bitter. So to avoid this step, you can take white mustard seeds.
To marinate the fish you need turmeric powder and salt
Oil: to fry as well as to make gravy better use mustard oil because you won’t get the required flavor in other oil
To make the mustard paste you need other than mustard seeds green chili, ginger, and coriander leaves
