Basa Fish Curry Recipe 🐠

Today I’m making a simple and delicious Indian style Basa fish curry. This is basa, a beautiful sweet water river fish, very soft and mild in taste. First, I’m going to marinate the fish. I’m adding 1½ teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon turmeric powder. Mix it gently and let this rest for 20 minutes. 🌶️ Ingredients for the Masala Paste Now let me show you everything we need for this curry: 12 Kashmiri red chillies 2 heaped tablespoons coriander seeds 1 heaped tablespoon cumin seeds 1 teaspoon mustard seeds 1 teaspoon peppercorns 1 teaspoon turmeric powder 1 heaped tablespoon ginger garlic paste 2 onions 3 tomatoes 5 green chillies Salt to taste And this is my homemade mustard sauce, which I’ll be adding later while cooking. 🔥 Dry Grinding the Masala I always like to dry grind my spices first, because it gives a much smoother curry paste. So into my mixer jar I’m adding: Peppercorns, cumin, mustard seeds, coriander seeds and the Kashmiri red chillies. Cover and grind it into a fine powder. Now I add: Ginger garlic paste, chopped onions, chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, green chillies, and a little water. Grind everything into a smooth masala paste. 🥘 Cooking the Curry Base For this curry, I’m using mustard oil, because it gives such an authentic flavour. Once the oil is hot, I add a pinch of fenugreek seeds. Now in goes the masala paste. Lower the flame and cook this gently on simmer. Give it one gentle stir, cover, and let it cook for 15 minutes. 🌼 Adding Mustard Sauce After 15 minutes, you can see the masala is cooked completely. Now I’m adding in my homemade mustard paste sauce. Mix it well and cook again for 5 minutes on slow heat. 💧 Making it a Watery Curry After 5 minutes, I add 2 cups of water. This is not a thick curry — this is a beautiful light, watery fish curry, perfect with rice. Add salt to taste, stir well, turn the flame on high, cover, and let it come to a bubbling boil. 🐟 Adding the Fish Now the curry is bubbling beautifully. Gently add in the marinated basa fish. Move it softly — don’t stir too much because basa is very delicate. Bring it back to a boil and let it cook for 10 minutes. 🌿 Finishing Touch After 10 minutes, the curry is done. This is optional, but I love adding coriander leaves with the stalks and all. Cover, switch off the flame, and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. 🍽️ Serving And here is our final fish curry plate: Steamed rice on the left, onion rings and whole green chillies on the side, a slice of fish placed over the rice, two pieces on the right, and a little gravy poured gently over the top. Simple, comforting, and absolutely delicious. #basafishcurry #bengalifishcurry #fishcurryrecipe #indianfishcurry #easyfishrecipe
