I allready add this recipe before but as you read the recipe heading it's "besara pani" means the gravy should be more liquid form. Due to it's liquidy it's tastes also differ.

1tsp of turmeric
1 tsp of salt 

For paste...

2 tbsp of mustard
2 tbsp of Poppy Seeds
4-5 green chilies
1 whole dry red chili
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 whole garlic
1 tsp of turmeric powder

For cooking....

Half cup mustard oil
2 tomatoes into big sliced
3-4 splitting reddies green chilies
Few curry leaves
Soak the dry mango in one bowl of warm water

Preparations.....

  Take a jar and add all "paste ingredients" as written above and make into a fine paste remove in a bowl add 1 tsp turmeric powder and salt. Mix everything very well with spoon.
  Now, heat mustard oil in a pan. When oil becomes hot, add cumin seed, curry leaves leaf and chillies.
  When cumin seeds splutter, add the mix paste into it. Stir for 2-3 minutes. Lower the flame.
  After 3 minutes add sliced tomatoes and soaked mango water including all dry mangoes and mix well.
  After 2-3 minutes when curry starts boiling add gently all the marinated Ilisi pieces to it. Stir it lightly. Cover and cook it for 3-4 minutes.
  After 4 minutes, remove the lid and flip the fish pieces very carefully so that the other side will also cook properly. Add the whole slightly cutting green chilies into it. Again cover it with lid and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Open the lid then add 2 to 3 cups of warm water while flipping the other side. Do not add water, once the fish done or cooked.
   After finishing up remove the lid stir it gently and drizzle raw  mustard oil on top of gravy, keep covered without stirring.        
  You Ilisi macha besara is ready to eat with piping hot plain rice.
