This Rohu or Rui macher jhol recipe cooked with potatoes and cauliflower is a winter delight on every Bengali everyday cooking menu. Fresh water rohu or rui is lightly fried before adding to a very light gravy comprising of fried cauliflower and potatoes. It is light, comforting and has a high nutritional value.
Prep the pieces of fish by rubbing them with ample salt and turmeric. Allow soaking for 10-15 minutes
Soak the cauliflower florets in salty water to clean it properly inside the florets
Soak the powdered spices and grated ginger before cooking for better flavour
Heat oil in a pan and allow it to smoke. Lower the heat and once the oil cools down a bit, drop the fish pieces.
Try not to disturb the fish till it is fried completely. Only then you will be able to turn them over easily, otherwise, the fish will break off
Once they are golden and crisp on both sides, take them out and keep aside. In the same pan, add the cauliflower florets. Sprinkle some turmeric powder and fry till they get slightly golden.
Then add the potatoes and soaked spices. Mix everything. Now, add water to make the gravy, enough to submerge everything, including the fish.
Add back the fried fish pieces.
Season with salt and cover the pan with lid. Allow it to simmer till everything is cooked.
Finish with finely chopped coriander leaves.
