Pomfret Fish: I have chosen medium-sized (100 gm each) fresh Pomfret fish, which gives the better result
Thankuni leaves This amazing herb you can get from some vegetable market, where the local vendors are used to sell different types of saag.
Poppy seeds: I used poppy seeds paste to make the gravy thick, which is also a very healthy ingredient.

Cooking oil: For frying and cooking, mustard oil is recommended, which is not only enhancing the taste of the fish, it also increases the overall taste of the recipe.
