Here I am posting one of the curry among many with small size tangra fish.This is Tangra fish curry with Brinjal.

Preparation Time: 20 min

Ingredients:

150 gm small size tangra

2 big long size brinjal chopped in specific thin size

Chopped Dhania patta(Coriander leaves)

3-4 green chili finely chopped

1/2 tbsp Jeera powder

1/2 tbsp Dhania powder

1/2 tbsp turmeric powder

1 big size onion finely chopped

Salt to taste

Preparation:

Wash the Tangra fish properly, as they are very small fish.So need to very carefull while washing them.

Marinate them with Turmeric powder and salt.Heat a pan with mustard oil.And then add the fishes into the pan.Fry the fishes properly.We need to fry them well,not half fried.

Now collect them all and keep the fried fish aside.We can use the same PAN.If required need to add little more oil to the pan.Wait for the oil to heat up properly.Now add the chopped onions and green chillis and fry for 2 min.And then add the chopped brinjals.Stire them all properly and cover the pan in a low heat.

Keep like this for 10 min.But need to stir in between, so that we can check whether the brinjal is soften properly or not.

After that when the brinjal looks soft completely,need to heat up the gas and stir continuously so that we can fry the brinjal.

Add jeera and dhania powder and mix them.Then add water.Here water need to add in such a quantity,so that after completion of the recipe there is not much curry (jhol) left in that recipe.It ll be a thick gravy recpie.

After adding water,need to add the fish and chopped coriander leaves.Now again cover the pan and cook for next 5 min in a low heat.

After 5 min check the gravy taste.If required you can add salt.Mix all properly and your dish is ready.

Have it with steamed rice.
