Preparing the Shorshe Salmon
- Strain the soaked mustard seeds and add them in a blender jar along with a pinch of turmeric powder and 1-2 green chilies. Make a paste after adding a few teaspoons water. Set aside.
- Set a deep bottomed pan or kadai over medium heat. Add the fish fried oil. When the oil becomes moderately hot sizzle the nigella seeds and few slit green chilies just for a few seconds.
- Now, add the sliced shallots or onions and saute until they begin to become soft or limp.
- Next, dilute the mustard paste with 2 cups water and add it to the oil. Give everything a good mix. Add salt and more turmeric. You may also add the diced tomatoes now. Cover and simmer over medium low heat for 10 mins.
- The Shorshe Jhal or the mustard sauce will thicken slightly. It's time to dip in the fried salmon fillets. Add the fish, cover and cook for just 1-2 mins over medium low heat.
- Turn off the heat, drizzle mustard oil and serve immeditely.
