Being from a coastal city, I always associate fish curries with coconut. Honestly, fish and yogurt may have made me very apprehensive before. But blogging has made me bold and I love to explore something different all the time.Those of you who are familiar with my other blog Enjoy World Food, may know how much I like "Cooking Light/find.myrecipes". I love their lighter take on the world cuisines. So I wanted to check out their Indian food section. I was almost certain that it would feature only the ubiquitous chicken tikka masala with naan. But to my surprise, they even had Doi Maach and Asparagus Talasani?
This Doi Maach recipe is contributed by Ms. Monica Bhide for Cooking Light.
Doi Maach
Fish in yogurt sauce

My Modifications -
1. I used skim yogurt as opposed to the whole milk yogurt recommended. I do not know if that's the reason their version looks more whiter and creamier than mine. But I loved the taste of this curry. I served it with plain brown basmati rice.
2. Instead of Mahi Mahi, I used Tilapia. Tilapia is a delicious fish that goes well in any Indian curry sauce. I have used it in several of the seafood recipes like this & this. For frying, Tilapia fillets can be used. But in my experience, for curries, use boneless Tilapia tenderloins which are thicker. I get those from Costco.

Slurp! Color is so gorgeous, wish kids eat seafood more, so I can try this. I have Shrimps, can use the gravy. Enjoy your weekend, Meera. Arvind is not going to be home Sunday and Monday, so I will be make Shiva Ratri lunch tomorrow, will be busy today! :)
I love fish curry, i don't make home as hubby and daugher don't like at all except if it is with prawns.
So i can just drool in this delicious curry.
Your Doi maach looks gr8..but being a bengali I know the authentic version has no curry, the gravy should be thick and coated well with the fish..one can make it a curry, you also got a nice color
Asha:
Thanks. Please see Indrani's comment below. If you are looking for a real authentic Doi Maach, let the masala cling the seafood.
Enjoy your Shivratri lunch!!
HC:
Thanks. I too just love fish curry!!;-D
Indrani:
I really appreciate your comment and sharing your version. I will surely try it your way next time. These days, I am in love with Bengali fish curries and trying them out regularly. Thanks so much.
Lovely color and looks very tempting..book marked
That looks really nice Meera! I think she has mentioned this recipe in her novel, isn't it? That asparagus talasani has me surprised, thanx to you for the link.
I have one Bengali friend of mine. They usually do "Doi Maach" with Hilsa fish. I was invited in their place to have Doi Ilish with Rice. I could not afford to miss it. Heavenly!
I tried these and turned out very well. Thanks for the link and your experince. As Indrani had suggested, I did not add any water and so did not have gravy. Folks at home liked it well!
