Fish Bangladesh style

                                                                                Receta en Español

Fish is a staple ingredient in Bangladesh dishes, it is because there are a lot of rivers and km of coast in this country.
I saw this recipe at this Bangladeshi blog:  http://zuranazrecipe.com/rui-mach-fulkopi/

This recipe is made with a fish called Rui or Rohu very common in Bangladesh coasts, it is difficult to find in Spain so I used hake instead given that it has a similar texture.
You must accompany this fish by rice, as in every Bangladeshi dish.

It is very easy to prepare, and the result is always good. The mixture of the spices match perfectly the fish. 
Besides, it is a healthy dish that you can consume whether you are on a diet or not.
