Macher kalia recipe with Katla or Rui-Bengali fish kaliya-Bengali fish curry for special occasions

Machh'er kalia recipe: Kalia and qorma are the two pillars of Mughlai cuisine. Qorma has a base of ghee-water even if it is added for cooking is eventually dried off. Kalia, in contrast, is water- or milk-based and the final dish is runnier. Qorma is for special occasions, while kalia is more of an everyday preparation. Of course, this kalia, and other Bengali kalias, are heavily modified from the original Mughal kalia-which were not as fiery. These probably developed under the Nawabs of Bengal incorporating local ingredients and tastes.
This machh'er kalia is made with paka (mature, i.e. 3 kg or more) rui or katla-both of which are freshwater carps very popular in Bengal. It is best if you can buy a live katla weighing 3-4 kg and cook it the same day. Our recipe is moderately high on chillies which is nicely counterbalanced by the sourness of the yoghurt and tomatoes, as well as the sweetness from the fried onions, sugar and raisins. You may even add fried potatoes to the gravy if you prefer. Serve this with plain boiled rice or with a polao (link below).

Being a professional Chef for 20 years, not a Bengali, but a big fan of Bengali cuisine, music and culture. I think this is one of the best vlog i have come across. Kudos to the people behind this channel. Wish I can know them and contribute. As far as the measurement part goes, invest in a good kitchen scale and a good recipe book, its worth it. Professionally it is recommended to record the recipes only in grams or Kgs, as conversion is easy and it is more consistent.

In the history of cooking tutorials, it's the first time when someone specified the amount of salt. such legends.
