Muri ghonto (bengali recipe of fish head cooked with rice and spices) Recipe

Recipe By Better Butter

This is a very delicious bengali preparation of muri ghonto, (meaning fish head) cooked with potatoes, rice and spice. In bengal a special variety of rice called " gobindo bhog " is used and the dish is usually made with rohu or rui fish. I have adapted this from "bong mom's cookbook " . The original recipe has very little rice but i have used a little more quantity to make it like a pulao.
