Kumror Bhij Deye Chuno Macher Chorchori (Small Fish Cooked with Pumpkin Seeds)

 This is my Aunt's recipe so I dont have a Pic. She makes it best. If you follow the recipe I can assure you ,your dish will be exactly like hers.

Ingredients:

Small Fish – 200 gms (Mourala, Puti etc)
Brinjal – 4 nos (small)
Potato – 2 small
Green Chilli – 2 nos (slit length-wise)
Pumpkin Seeds –  50 gms
Salt – to taste
Red chilli powder – ½ tsp
Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
Tomato paste – 2 tbsp     
Sugar – ½ tsp
Coriander leaves – 2 tbsp

Method:

Cut the brinjal and potatoes into “french fry” type pieces and keep aside.

Apply some turmeric to the fish and keep aside. Heat some mustard oil in a pan till it is smoking, then reduce the temperature and add the fish. Fry the fish till golden in colour. It will be crispy. Keep aside.

In a separate pan, heat 3 tbsp mustard oil, smoke it, lower the temperature .
Add panch phoron and slit ,green chillies to the oil. 

Then add the potato and brinjal pieces, add pumpkin seeds, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, sugar, salt and tomato paste. 
Sauté the mixture on medium heat, adding some water to prevent the masala from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Cook till the potatoes are cooked and the brinjal is soft and mushy. 

Add the fried small fish and mix it in. Add chopped coriander leaves and serve .

I serve it with plain rice.
