How to make my signature Coriander fish - Bangladeshi style!

A wonderful recipe for lovers of seafood or people who just love good food.
Coriander fish - Bangladeshi style
Serves 2
Ingredients:
marinade:
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp chilli powder
3 tbsp mustard oil
3 white fish fillets of your preference
3-4 tablespoons mustard oil
2 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 a green pepper - sliced
1/2 a red pepper - sliced
2 green chillies
2 bay leaves
2 tsp garlic paste
2 large tomatoes - grated/ blended briefly
1 large onion - grated / blended briefly
flour enough to coat fish
2 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/2 tsp turmeric
2 tbsp/ 1.5 inch square of butter
1 bunch fresh coriander - 1 large handful per person - chopped well
1/2 a lemon of lemon juice
Method:
Step 1,
Marinate your fish! as instructed here and in the video a few spices and some mustard oil and 20-30 minutes is all it needs.
Step 2,
Prepare your ingredients!
grating an onion or tomato is messy and sometimes dangerous work if you aren't experienced in it, try pulsing a few times with a food processor or blender until you have something between diced and pasted your vegetables.
Step 3,
Get a wide pan, enough for your 3 fillets to sit nicely together with little to no overlap. Add 3-4 tablespoons of vegetable oil and turn up the heat to medium/high so that the oil is "sizzling hot". Coat your marinated fish with flour, and add to the pan one by one.
3 minutes of frying on one side before flipping and 3 again on the other. it should look lovely golden brown on both sides, remove and leave to drip dry on an appropriate plate.
Step 4,
Find a wide bottomed pan that can comfortably fit your 3 fish fillets inside, Add 3-4 tablespoons of mustard oil and turn up the heat to medium/high.
When the oil is hot, add your mustard seeds and wait for a few seconds to hear them start to pop!
Add your onions, then stir briefly. Let them take in a little heat before adding your bay leaves, peppers and chillies. Add 1/2 a tsp of salt or to taste. Stir for 30 seconds.
Add a good pinch of dried fenugreek leaves and stir for 30 seconds. add 2 tsp of garlic paste and stir well for 30 more seconds.
If your dish begins to dry out you can add some hot water for the steam and moisture, it will help cook all the ingredients.
If your onions look translucent but just about going brown you are about ready for the next step.
Step 5,
Here comes the spice! Add your spice mix of 2 tsp coriander powder, 1/2 tsp turmeric and chilli powder! along with your 3-4 tablespoons of grated tomatoes.
Stir for 30 seconds to 1 minute, your pan should still be hot as you do this, once its well incorporated and sizzling away again, add some hot water and put a lid on your pan, let it cook this way for a minute.
Step 6,
before you add the fish you can taste test the dish, adding salt or spices till you're happy.
At this point your fish can be added back into the pan, bring the heat down ever so slightly so the simmer is more gentle. add another 100-150 ml of water so that you can cover and leave your ingredients to cook for 6-7 minutes on their own.
at this point you are just slowly reducing the sauce to your preference, with this amount of ingredients it will be better if you let the sauce thicken to a standard curry consistency.
Step 7,
Coriander garnish: Melt a knob of butter into a clean, hot new pan, it should be hot enough that the butter melts very quickly and begins to sizzle, add your fresh chopped coriander and squeeze a lemon over it to get that teaspoon or two of juice into it before quickly stirring it to absorb the butter and heat!
it should only take a few seconds to wilt under the heat and moisture before you can top your fish with it!
Serve over rice or with a naan bread! Delicious!

Filming and editing is good. What I really enjoy about this channel is authenticity and we can see your love through your cooking. Keep it up guys

[@REDDEVIL1976]

After watching Latifs series I would definitely visit his restaurant anyone prepared to share so openly deserves my business

[@mckeon1960]

Same here 😁

[@davetimms451]

Latiffe, I’ve tried several of your dishes and every one has turned out spectacularly. These are great videos anyone can learn from them. I miss the Indian food as I moved to Canada some time ago and there is very little here that is as good as your dishes. It is a life saver being able to follow and produce the curry we are used to. Thank you very much for you time and effort.

[@denico1000]

Thank you for this great recipe ! I made it yesterday and it tastes fantastic ! The baked fish alone with the spices is really tasty, and the curry and sauce make it even better. So thanks ) and greetings from holland )

[@sabumiah3421]

Bangladeshi restaurants are the best tasting with the most awards for curries in the UK for authentic Indian food including Michelin stars.

[@michaelmeehan5985]

Just beautiful!

[@idavo]

Whoa! Fantastic, I used to live in Whitechapel, East London amongst a Bangladeshi community. The smells from kitchen to kitchen was amazing. I think Bangladesh folk are the best fish cooks in the world. I now live in Manchester & miss the food from amazing restaurants. This my friend has brought it all back - I shall be making this for myself & then for family / friends - they will then know what I have been talking about for so long. Cheers fella, thank you for posting / sharing.

[@magnusbruce4051]

Sounds like a really interesting dish. Definitely seems like a lot more coriander than I would normally have. Might try and persuade my parents to let me cook this for them next week. They've spent twenty years calling me a fussy eater but these days I seem to be more adventurous than they are because they are very stuck in their ways when it comes to food.

[@brettkaye5201]

Looks Wicked. Have to try this soon. Always on point !!

[@sugarplumzredz7308]

Subscribed today, will try this dish looks lovely 😊

[@ashieuk]

Great thing about tilapia is that it doesn't taste of much itself, but it absorbs whatever flavour you put into it. And it keeps firm.

[@ronschlorff7089]

right, I like a fish that is not "fishy tasting". Orange roughy is mild like that too, and of course halibut, but you need a small bank loan to afford fresh halibut where I am!! ;D

[@neilawad2741]

Shukran Latif 🙏🏻looks beautiful. Thinking of making my whole leather jacket fish using your recipe. can’t wait cheers

[@mjtaylor1146]

I adore fish curries as have been having them for over 3 decades. I was taught how to cook many asian dishes by my pakistani & Bangladeshi friends. I totally agree Bangladeshi fish dishes are the best. I do one curry using smoked haddock as it keeps its smoked flavour yet still absorbs the delicate spices an with fresh corriander it really does add so much go the overall flavour. Looking forward to trying this yummy looking version soon.

[@johnsmith-qf1op]

Very nice.

Greetings from Texas. Tried this dish with local fish and was excellent. Thanks for sharing.

[@mirkali]

Wow! was salivating as I watched you cook and can imagine the aroma in your kitchen. Although, it seems a bit on spicy hot side but will definitely try this and scale down on red chilli powder and the green chillies 😀👍

[@juangris2935]
