The Flavors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Making Them

Now that we have all of our ingredients ready, let's begin the culinary expertise of making Small Rohu Fish Curry with Potatoes and Radish.

Step 1: Prepare the Fish

Start by adding a teaspoon of turmeric, a teaspoon of salt, and a teaspoon of red chilli powder to the small Rohu fish to marinate it. This stage allows the fish to acquire a variety of taste layers. You can allow the fish to marinate for 30 minutes if you are not in a hurry.

Step 2: The combination of the spices

Add the mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds to the heated frying oil in a skillet or saucepan. It is best to add the curry leaves at this point so they begin to sear and emit their scrumptious aroma while seasoning the ingredients.

Step 3: Frying the flavors

Add thinly sliced onions to the spices that have been tempered, and sauté them until they become transparent and release their inherent sweetness. This serves as the savory foundation for your curry.

Step 4: Adding aromatics for enhancement of the flavors

Sliced green chilies should be sautéed in a spice mixture that includes ginger, garlic, and other ingredients until their flavor permeates the entire kitchen. The powerful flavors of these ingredients accentuate the distinctive flavor of the dish itself.

Step 5: Adding Spices to the Mixture

Add the powders of the red chilli, cumin, coriander, and turmeric to the mixture. Stir constantly to ensure the mixture of onions, garlic, and ginger becomes evenly coated in the spices, producing a base that is fragrant and lively.

Step 6: Tomatoes Are a Must-Have Ingredient

The chopped tomatoes should be added and allowed to cook for a few minutes until they are reduced to a rich, flavorful paste that forms the foundation of the curry. This stage imparts a sour and somewhat sweet undertone to the dish itself.

Step 7: Potatoes and radish make the ideal combination.

Mix in the chopped potatoes and radish slices, allowing them to take up the rich flavors of the spice-rich combination. The curry's flavor gains heartiness and a slightly peppery edge from these components.

Step 8: Getting the Ingredients to the Perfect Consistency

To achieve the desired consistency, only add the necessary amount of water to the curry. Add salt to taste, taking into account the variety of ingredients. Making sure the curry is the perfect consistency—not too thick or thin—will allow you to achieve this.

Step 9: The Optimal Time to Add Fish to Curry

When carefully adding the marinated small Rohu flavorful fish into the stew, be careful not to disturb their delicate texture. For the fish to fully absorb the curry spice while maintaining its suppleness, simmer it for 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 10: The Finishing Touch

Sprinkle in the fresh coriander leaves (cilantro), which will provide a lively harmony of flavors to the curry as it thickens, the fish cooks, and the flavors come together. To the cuisine, the coriander brings a light herbal flavor.
