Delicious Mustard Fish Curry -Desi Style

Mustard Rui fish curry, also known as "Shorshe Rui" in Bengali cuisine, is a traditional and popular dish in the Indian subcontinent, especially in the eastern regions of India and Bangladesh. This flavorful curry is characterized by its tangy and spicy taste, imparted by the use of mustard paste and other aromatic spices.

Rui” is known as Labeo Rohita or Rohu Fish.

To prepare Mustard Rui fish curry, fresh Rohu fish (known as Rui fish) is marinated with turmeric powder and salt and then lightly fried until golden brown. Meanwhile, a paste is made from ground mustard seeds, green chilies, and sometimes poppy seeds, which adds a unique flavor and texture to the curry.

In a separate pan, mustard oil is heated, and then onions, garlic, and ginger are sautéed until golden brown. The mustard paste is then added to the pan along with turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt, and cooked until the raw smell of the mustard dissipates. Water is added to create the curry base, and the fried fish pieces are gently placed into the simmering gravy.

The curry is allowed to cook over low heat until the fish is tender and cooked through, and the flavors have melded together. It is typically garnished with fresh coriander leaves and served hot with steamed rice or roti, providing a satisfying and wholesome meal.

Mustard Rui fish curry is loved for its robust flavors, creamy texture, and comforting aroma. It perfectly balances the sharpness of the mustard with the subtle sweetness of the fish, creating a harmonious and delightful culinary experience that is cherished by food enthusiasts across the region.
