Fish cooked with yogurt is a delicacy from West Bengal. If you search in Google you will get plenty of varieties but my Ma cooked the Doi Mach in a very simple method but the smell of the dish makes you hungry. Only with few items she used to cook the fish curry. Yesterday night I made the fish curry like her but I felt Ma makes it far better than me.

The main ingredients of the dish is Big size Fish and lots of yogurt. I made few little changes to make it little different and I am successful.  Ruhu or katla is just the perfect fish for this recipe but if you have fish filet then also you can cook with them and the taste will be the same only.
