Bengali Fish Do-peAja

Ingredients:

Fish (preferably small, cut into small pieces) 1 cup

Sliced onions: 1/2 cup

Chilli powder/paste (red) 1 tsp

Turmeric powder/paste 1 tsp

Onion paste 2 tbsp

Ginger paste 1/8 tsp

Pepper paste 1/4 tsp

Shredded dhania leaves (cilantro) personal taste

Onion leaves 2 tbsp

Oil 1/3 cupSalt 1 tsp

Tomato (tomatoe for republicans) 2 medium

Ingredients:

Works best with small fish. Out here in the land of non- Bangladeshi fish, try shrimp or any fresh-water fish cut into very small pieces. After heating the oil add all the powder/paste spices and fry for a couple of minutes. You might add a little bit of water if you are using powders only. Make sure you don't burn the spices. (Include the onion pastes). Add the shredded onions and the fish. Add 1/2 cup of water and the salt. Cover the dish and medium-hi heat. When the water has almost evaporated, add tomatoes, cilantero, and the onion leaves. Heat under low-medium heat till the oil starts to float.
