Directions
- First, thoroughly wash the squid and the tentacles. ≈ 2 min
- Next, mix a small amount of turmeric and salt, and gently apply it to the fish for about 5 minutes (the fish is very delicate, so it needs to be handled with care).
- In a bowl, combine mustard butter, a little water, a pinch of turmeric powder, and chili powder to create a spicy paste. ≈ 4 min
- Now, place a pot on the stove and heat some sunflower oil.
- Once the oil paint is warm, add cumin and fresh chili peppers.
- Once the holes appear, add the chopped onions and continue to cook until they are lightly browned. ≈ 3 min
- Once the fried onions are prepared, add the pre-mixed mustard to the pan.
- Season to taste with salt and cook over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes.
- When the spices come to the surface, add water (about 1 cup). ≈ 3 min
- Wait until the broth reaches a boil.
- Once the sauce has thickened, gently place the Karelian perch in the sauce.
- Without disturbing the fish too much, gently grasp the pan and shake it lightly to allow the fish to slide into the sauce.
- Cover and cook over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add chopped cilantro and a few slices of fresh chili pepper, then let it rest for an additional minute.
- Remove from the heat when the sauce thickens and the oil begins to rise to the surface.
