Baked Pabo Catfish With Lemon Garlic & Potatoes

Pabo catfish is a fresh water fish found in lakes and rivers. Pabo catfish taste best when cooked with mustard seeds paste. In this recipe I tried to bake pabo catfish. Here in this recipe I used simple ingredients available in every Indian kitchen like turmeric and mustard oil. Turmeric is used as a cooking ingredient since time immemorial in Indian cuisines. It is now proved to be one of the main factor for strong immune system of indians as turmeric contains both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Whereas mustard oil is called the Indian version of olive oil as mustard oil can be consumed as raw too. Now let's check the baked pabo catfish recipe. In this recipe I'm using lemon, garlic and potatoes also. Serve this as a side dish with steamed rice.
