  • For tempering- 2 whole red chillies,2 bay leaves and 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • For the spice mix- grind 1 tsp coriander seeds,1 tsp cumin seeds,3-4 whole red chillies
  • For the garam masala mix- grind 3 cardamom pods, 3 cloves,1/4 th inch cinnamon stick
  • For the ginger and green chilli mix- grind 1/2 inch ginger and 2-3 green chillies
  • 1 tbs ghee or clarified butter
  • 1.5 cups of water for the gravy
  • 2 tbs sugar

Procedure:

    • First step is to curdle the milk: For that in a deep dish pan add 4 cups of full fat whole milk bring it boil and in another bowl add 3 tbs water and 3 tbs vinegar and mix

    • Now add the vinegar mixture spoon by spoon into the milk and stir

Muri Ghonto or rice and fish head curry||Authentic Bengali dish goes best with steamed rice (saada bhaat)

Muri means head and Ghonto means mashed, Muri Ghonto is a Bengali delectable dish made with fish head and rice.

Fish head is used preferably of Rohu or Katla. The rice we use is a short grain rice mainly Gobindo Bhog or if you stay outside India you can go for jeera samba or kali jeera rice.

It is a dish which is made mild spicy with some basic spices and potato. It has a aroma from the rice and ghee (clarified butter) and the flavors of the fish. It can be easily savored with steamed rice.

In my childhood days this dish was almost daily on our lunch menu. The sole reason was because as we are Bengalis ,eating fish and rice was our staple. In our shopping list when our father bought other vegetable, while buying fish means buying a whole fish from head to tail. So what to do with the head??? Either make fish and rice Muri Ghonto or machher matha die mooger daal i.e lentil soup with fried fish head.
