This particular recipe calls for 'bombay duck fish' / loitta maach, but we couldn't get fresh bombay duck here, that's why I used rohu. 'Macher Jhuri' is nothing but a dry preparation of crumbled / mashed fish, which is typically bengali and goes best with steamed rice. Don't forget to add cubed potatoes because without them this curry will be totally incomplete. Try this easy recipe in your kitchen and let me know how it turns out for you.
Ingredients
- 4 pieces of fish.
- 1 potato, cut into cubes.
- 1 onion, finely chopped.
- 1 Teaspoon of ginger and garlic paste.

Then remove them from oil, let them cool down a bit and then crumble the fish pieces with your hand.
