  1. This is the first time I was preparing something with fish eggs and this happened because the fish I bought was full of eggs and the fish monger packed them with the fish, I checked for recipes and this was the first that popped up, so I went for it and I must say that this fish egg bhujia in mustard oil is a good thing. I did not have tamarind so a replaced that with amchoor powder with some water and it turned a bit of alright. Thanks a ton.
    Next trip to INA market I’ll look out for a fish with eggs.
    Thanks a ton Arpita
