Happy Monday!!! 

Its the start of the week and lets start it with a healthy and delicious Salmon curry recipe. 

Here is another light and healthy dish for you to enjoy…

As I said in earlier, hubby has been travelling a lot lately. And travelling means consistently eating more outside food.

So when he is home I try to prepare healthier and nutritious food. And this Salmon curry is just that.

Hubby is not a huge seafood lover. He just can’t stand the smell of the fish. I know its weird.. Right?!!! Whereas me.. I am just the opposite.. I just LOVE fish.. I can eat it any way you give me.. Cooked of course.. 😉 

Its a huge and difficult task to get him eat fish. So I have to prepare it in such a way that suits his pallet. 

Earlier I had made this Salmon in Yogurt Gravy (Doi maach) a delicious bengali dish, which to my surprise, hubby really did cherish and devour. Doi maach is something I make quite frequently at home. 

And now about this Salmon Curry With Cauliflower And Potato (Aloo Fulkopi Diye Macher Jhol), another popular bengali dish, prepared in almost all bengali households. I have all grown up eating this fish curry with rice. 

We usually make this cauliflower and potato curry with Rohu fish or rui maacha a species of fish of the carp family. But since rui maach is not readily available here, I make it with salmon and it is equally delicious and flavourful.

I was really sceptical whether hubby will like this dish or not. And Yes.. You guessed it right!  He loved it. Well there is nothing to dislike about this fish curry or maacher jhol as we say it in bengali. 

This salmon curry is very delicious as its made with fresh veggies. Loads of fresh vegetables like potatoes, tender cauliflower, fresh tomatoes and loads and loads of fresh coriander leaves are added to this dish. I have even added some fresh mangetouts in this curry too.

So if you are a fish lover or not you are surely gonna love this Salmon Curry With Cauliflower And Potato (Fulkopi Aloo Diye Macher Jhol). This dish is super simple to make and can be served with Rice or Rotis.
