Enjoy making this lost and rare Thakurbarir Machher Sauce Curry

A refreshing fish recipe — if you want to try something that is old but new

In the second series of Thakurbarir Ranna, Lost and Rare Recipes’ recent video has a rare gem. Machher Sauce Curry, a tangy and tasty take on fish, is something that surprises you with its unique blend of ingredients when you are yearning for something new. If you are wondering on sauce being a primary ingredient in a Thakurbari recipe, team Lost and Rare Recipe’s anecdote in the bio of the video informs about a lesser known fact — “Unlike how many people think, the use of tomato sauce was common in the British and Anglo Indian dominated areas and the affluent families of Kolkata for ages (sic).” This recipe can be made with rohu, katla or bekti and seems like a must-try for fish lovers. So, are you making it this week?
