Ruhi Fish Gravy with Bottle Gourd and Split Green Pea lentils Fritters....

 Usually bottle gourd and prawns or bottle gourd and bori is very famous among the  Bengali  dishes. This time I wanted to try a bit different dish. Tried to recreate this dish. This dish is eaten with steamed rice. Hope you will like it.

Ingredients 
1/2 cup  Matar dal / Split Green Pea lentils  washed and soaked for 4 hours
Salt to taste 
1 small piece Ginger
1 Green Chilli

Method 
Grind all the above ingredients except the oil in a grinder. Don't add extra water. Mix the batter very well in one direction. Heat oil in a wok till the smoking point. Lower the flame. Add half tsp spoon of the batter. Add the batter 8 to 10 times in the oil, fry till brown in colour. Remove the fritters and keep aside.

For the Fried Fish 
Ingredients 
6 pieces of Ruhi Fish 
1/4 tsp Turmeric powder 
Salt to taste 
Use the same mustard oil for frying the Fish

Method 
Take the fish and marinate the fish with turmeric powder and salt for 15 minutes. 
In the same wok, heat the oil.  Fry the fish until brown in colour from both the sides.
