SALMON IN A BENGALI MUSTARD SAUCE
Eat this with plain rice and make the sauce as hot as you like. In Bengal, the mustard seeds are ground at home, but to make matters simpler I have used commercial ground mustard, also sold as mustard powder. You may also use halibut instead of the salmon. This very traditional dish is best served with Plain Basmati Rice, along with My Everyday Moong Dal, if you like, and a green vegetable. /* if (Epi.text.truncatedVersion) { Epi.text.truncatedVersion("recipeIntroText", "Eat this with plain rice and make the sauce as hot as you like.

Steps:
- Cut the fish into pieces that are about 2" x 1" and rub them evenly with
- the salt, turmeric, and cayenne. Cover and set aside in the refrigerator for
- minutes-10 hours.
- Put the mustard powder, cayenne, turmeric, and salt in a small bowl. Add
- tablespoon water and mix thoroughly. Add another 7 tablespoons water and
- mix. Set aside.
- Pour the oil into a medium frying pan and set over medium-high heat.
- When hot, put in the mustard seeds. As soon as they start to pop, a matter of
- seconds, add the cumin and fennel seeds. Stir once and quickly pour in the
- mustard paste. Add the green chilies, stir, and bring to a gentle simmer. Place
- the fish pieces in the sauce in a single layer. Simmer gently for about 5 minutes,
- or until the fish is just cooked through, spooning the sauce over the fish
- all the time.
