Muri ghonto (Fish head cooked with rice)


  1. Wash and soak gobindo bhog rice in water for an hour.
  2. Make half onion paste, 1-inch ginger paste (I prefer more ginger in this recipe). Mince the remaining onion.
  3. Wash the fish head and rub salt and turmeric. Let is rest for 15 mins. Fry in hot mustard oil. Set aside.
  4. In the wok where you fried the fish head, fry some diced potatoes with salt, add the minced onion and then the onions paste.

Beet greens and Kashmiri Dum Aloo

I used to throw away beet greens until now.They are quite delicious when sauted with minced garlic and nigella seeds.

I also made Kashmiri Dum aloo à la Sanjeev Kapoor Except that I parboiled the potatoes instead of deep frying them.
