Tomato maach | Traditional Bengali fish curry in tomato gravy. This is a fish curry with a tomato-based gravy. The fish is shallowed fried and then cooked in this mildly spiced, tangy tomato gravy and the end result is just awesome.
As with all traditional recipes in any culture, there are various variants to this tomato fish preparation. Some people prepare the entire gravy with only tomatoes, some do not use garlic, etc etc. After having tried a few variations, the one I am showing you here (with inclusion of a small quantity of onions and ginger-garlic) is the one I like the best.
