Shreshtha's Bongo Fish Curry in Mustard Sauce (Shorshe Maach)

This recipe is a bongo recipe but with a slight variation. Believe me, the variation is for the better! The traditional Bengali recipe demands you to steam it but since I don't live in Bengal and lead a busy, defense wife's life, I had to find an easy way out. Hope you all will find it easy! By Shreshtha Mukherjee.
