- I learnt how to make Fish Curry with Silam (Perilla Seeds) from my youngest sister Genisha - we don’t call her the pioneer sister for nothing - I mean I have never seen anyone else use silam (perilla seeds) in Nepalese style fish curry but try it and you will be hooked 😭😂
3 spoons silam/perilla seeds (lightly roasted till warmed and grounded into powder)
I did this step first before pounding my ginger garlic and chillies as the mortar and pestle needs to be dry for the perilla seeds to be ground.
Roast the seeds just enough to warm it up.
6 pieces of fish (about 1kg)
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp turmeric
juice from about 1/3 of a lemon 🍋
mustard oil for frying fish (I did shallow fry and kept some of the oil for making Tama ko Achar (Bamboo Shoot Achar)
1/4 tsp fenugreek seeds
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
2 medium onion
2 medium tomatoes
5-6 cloves of garlic + 2 thumb size ginger + 3 fresh red chillies pounded together
1.5 tsp mixed cumin and coriander powder. cumin to coriander ratio (2:1).
3/4 tsp kashmiri chilli powder
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tsp salt or to taste
1 litre hot water (depending on how much soup you want)
fresh coriander and spring onion for garnish
After you add the hot water, let the soup boil for about 15mins before you add in your fried fish pieces in.
Let the fish pieces simmer and absorb the flavours for about 5mins and flip and simmer for another 5mins and it’s done ☺️

I wish for that too 😂😂 but I know I am not doing the right video format for UA-cam and maybe that’s why it’s not doing as well as my Instagram but as a full time working single mom, it’s hard being a full on blogger 😪😂
