Bhaat maach (rice and fish)

Instructions

1. Rinse the rice until the water runs clear, then cook it in boiling salted water for about 12 minutes, until tender. Drain it.
2. Cut the fish fillets into pieces, then toss them with the turmeric, salt and lime juice. Let them rest for 10 minutes.
3. Heat the mustard oil in a pan until it just starts to smoke, then lower the heat.
4. Fry the fish pieces for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until crisp and cooked through.
5. Meanwhile, thinly slice the onion and chilies. Sauté them in a little oil until softened.
6. Serve the hot rice with the fish, the onion and chilies, and a drizzle of mustard oil.
