Khaira fish: Though this fish is very difficult to get fresh, still you have to get this otherwise while frying it would break and the bad smell would come.

Mustard seeds: It is always better to take black mustard, which is having a strong flavor, but you have to strain the paste after blending; otherwise it may taste bitter. So to avoid this step, you can take white mustard seeds.
