Doi Machh Or Doi Rui
Doi Rui
"Doi Machh" is not an authentic Bengali fish recipe. It's somewhat like fusion curry. It's a nice dish to serve the guests. Doi mach is yoghurt based Rohu/Katla fish curry. In this curry fried fishes are marinated in seasoned beaten yoghurt and then cooked on low heat. Aromatic sweet and sour taste of the gravy is easy to cook but very delicious. I've made this dish with Rohu but you can try this with any "Carp/Buffalo/Grass Carp/Tilapia".

Clean the fish pieces and marinate them with turmeric and salt and keep aside for 30 minutes.
Now take the yoghurt or sour cream and beat well with some salt ,turmeric, Kashmiri red chili powder and keep aside.
