Rohu fish is the common fish for Bengali's. Rohu fish has its unique taste and a best way to make it. For this week I decided to cook from Bengali famous magazine. Machhi tarkari is a very popular in Orissa. Orissa cuisine is very similar to Bengali cuisine. The flavor of Oriya food is milder. This delicacy is simple preparation in which the fish is cooked with some indian spices and flavored masala paste.
