  • To make Doi Katla, first, marinate the fish pieces with salt and turmeric for about 15 minutes then heat some mustard oil in a pan.

  • Now add whole cumin, bay leaf, and whole garam masala in the same oil.
  • After the oil releases aroma, add the onion paste and fry it well.
  • After the onion paste has been fried well add ginger garlic paste.
  • Now add all the dry roasted masalas which would include 1 tablespoon coriander powder, 1 tablespoon cumin powder, salt, sugar, turmeric powder, and red chili powder.
  • Now mix all the masalas well until it releases oil.
  • You can add a little bit of water in order to mix the masalas well so that the masalas won’t stick in the pan.
  • Now add cashew nut paste and hung curd.
  • As the recipe is Doi Katla, so the quantity of hung curd should be a bit more compared to the others ingredients.
  • Now add hot water accordingly based on how much consistency you would like to keep in the curry.
  • Add the fried fish pieces.
  • If you want you can add garam masala powder and ghee to enhance the taste. You can even avoid it as you have already added whole garam masalas.
