How to make Phulkopi bori diye Gurjali Mach er Jhol/Indian Salmon fish curry with cauliflower and Sun dried lentil dumpling

Gurjali fish is a very light and delicate like pabda and kajli having only one bone in the center, but it has the scale. So I don’t want to kill its taste by using onion and garlic, I will make today a very less spicy gurjali macher jhol with veggies.
