Fish Makhani – Fish in creamy sauce

 

The recipe I am giving here is adapted from ‘Only Fish recipes‘. Sonali’s fish recipes are to die for. Unfortunately, she has not been active since past three 4 months or so. She went MIA sometime in June and hasn’t been back. Hopefully everything is OK at her front.

Her recipe calls for microwave cooking. I tried that. While I found it delightful,my family wasn’t too crazy about it. So I went the traditional way and cooked it the way it’s normally cooked, but this time I used Sonali’s recipe as the base.
