Roh Maacher Bhapa

Roh Maacher Bhapa which means Steamed Roh Fish made in mustard Sauce. This dish is actually made with Illish- a very popular fish to Bengalis and makes this dish the most mouth watering.
Any way using Roh fish too we can achieve this so lets explore it below.


What we need:
1. Roh Fish(Cut and washed)
2. White and black mustard seeds
3. Poppy seeds
4. Mustard oil
5. Onion, Green Chilly
6. Turmaric, Red Chilly powder
7. Salt and sugar
8. Coriander Leaves










How did I make it:

1. Grind the onion,mustard seeds and poppy seeds to make a smooth paste.


2. Add Turmaric, red chilly, salt and little sugar to the paste and blend it.


3. Now coat a with masturd oil and place the fish pieces in it.


4. Pour in the paste such that it gets equally spread.


5. Add some more mustard oil over it along with split chillies and chopped coriander leaves.


6. Closed the container tightly and place it on another vessel filled with water just enough for the container to float and boil the water.

7. Let it steam cook till the water reduces to 1/3. Open the container and check if the fish is soft enough else continue cooking by adding water to boil.

8. Once done you will get a strong mustard aroma and the fish will b soft when you open.


Your bhapa maach is ready which no less than Illish Bhapa. You can try the same process for Illish too.


Enjoy the steamed fish with hot stream rice.
