this is, i am sure, an adaptation to the american market. on my own, now long defunct, recipes website (i am slowly putting it back together) i used to recommend substituting thresher shark fillets in certain bengali fish recipes (like doi machh etc.)-it has a texture not unlike bhetki etc. and can be a good sub. i also used it, and mahi-mahi, to make my green masala fish. this was before i discovered the bangladeshi store in l.a that sold all the bengali fish!

this recipe sounds yum--would probably be very good with the fish pan-fried as well. in fact if you think about it, it is a doi machh (yogurt fish) recipe--just ends up being cooked differently.

bong, your thoughts?
