Fish Paturi means, fish should be cooked in leaf (pata). Paturi comes from pata. Traditionally, Bengali paturi is made in banana leaf. Sometimes we also used Pumpkin leaf / Bottle guard leaf. But outside of Kolkata it is very difficult to get these leaves. When I moved from kolkata, I also have faced this problem. Now I am able to find the solution of that. Cabbage is available in all place easily. Sometimes we are getting bored to have same preparation of cabbage in winter. So, lets give a new taste of cabbage to your taste buds. Here, Gravy of this paturi is worked just like cheery on top of your dessert. Its gives an extra taste to paturi. Paturi is always perfect accompanied with plain steamed rice. So, just try it out in your kitchen and surprise your family.
Preparation Time:20 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Serves: 6-8 people
Ingredients:
Keski/Kachki Fish (cleaned & washed): 250 grams
Cabbage leaves: 8-9 pieces
Spring Onion: 8-9 pieces
Onion(finely sliced): 1 Large
Green chilli: 4 pieces (slited) + 3 pieces (chopped)
Take Keski/Kachki fish in a large mixing bowl. Then add Onion, Green chilli (chopped), 3 tablespoon Mustard Paste, 3 tablespoon Poppy seeds Paste, Turmeric powder, Red chilli powder, 2 tablespoon Mustard oil, Salt to taste, Coriander leaves.
Mix everything well.
Add Yogurt into it. Mix again.
Cover and keep it in fridge for atleast 2 hours.
Blanch the cabbage leaves for 5-7 minutes in salt water.
Once done, remove from hot water.
Add cold water into it. It will prevent from overcooking.
After 5 minutes take out the cabbage leaves from water and keep aside.
After 2 hours, we will make the paturi. Take 1 tablespoon marinated fish into a cabbage leaf and put a green chilli slit on top.
Carefully fold it into a parcel.
Tie the parcel with a spring onion strand.
It's actually just for decorating.when you fry, paturi will get set automatically.
If you don't like you can avoid green chilli slit in the paturi.
Make all the paturi like this.
Heat 4 tablespoon Mustard oil in a pan.
Once hot, put paturi in oil. Cover for 5 minutes.
When one side done, flip the paturi and fry again another side for 5 minutes covering the pan.
Fry all the paturi like this.
Then add 1 tablespoon Mustard oil in the same pan.Allow it to heat.
Add left over mustard paste and poppy seeds paste, green chilli paste, salt to taste, turmeric Powder into it. Stir well. Let it cook for a minute.
Add coconut milk into it.
When it starts boiling, add all Paturis into the gravy and cover for 8-10 miuntes.
Once done, take out carefully.
Serve it with plain steamed rice.
My Tip:
If you like you can drizzle some extra mustard oil from top to garnish. Here I have garnished with chillis.
Open side of paturi should be placed in pan first, so that it will automatically set the paturi very well. If you don't have Spring onion, you can omit binding process. It just give it a good looks.
Wash the kachki fish very well.
In this way, you also can make the mourala fish paturri.
Paturi should be handled with care. Otherwise, it can be broken or fish may be coming out.

Its the time to soak dry fruit in alcohol(dark Rum/ whisky/ Brandy/ red wine). Traditionally, dry fruit should be soaked 3 months before the Christmas. But at least 1 month soak is very necessary to make dry fruit juicy. In classic Christmas cake, juicy dry fruits are the main ingredients. Here you can use any dry fruits whatever you get. Other ingredients like flour is just used to bind dry fruits and nuts. My Christmas celebration can't be complete without traditional Christmas cake. We will bake the cake in next month at least a week before from Christmas. After baking, the last step is feeding the cake. It is very important to allow the cake to be matured by feeding with alcohol. After baking some tiny wholes will be made with a skewer to feed the cake. Brush the cake with alcohol twice in a week after baking. Here I am using Rum to soak the fruit and will do the feeding after baking the cake with Rum. If you don't want to use alcohol, instead of this you can use ora...
