A flavorful Bangladeshi Ruhu Fish Curry (or Jhol) made with marinated Ruhu fish, spices, and vegetables. The dish features a rich gravy that's perfect with rice and is enhanced with fresh herbs like cilantro and green chilies.
1: Marinate the fish pieces with salt and turmeric, then shallow fry them until slightly golden and browned on each side.
2: In the same pan, add oil, onions, and ginger. Fry until the raw smell goes away.
3: Add all the ground spices, tomato purée, and cook until the oil separates.
4: Add the veggies and cook for a few minutes without water. Then add enough water to slightly cover the vegetables.
5: Cover and cook until the vegetables are tender.
6: Once cooked, add the fish back in, along with chopped tomatoes. Sprinkle some roasted cumin powder on top and cook until the tomatoes soften.
7: Turn off the heat, top with green chilies and cilantro. Cover and let it sit for 5–10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
