Non-Veg: Tel Koi (Fish)

Why Tel Koi (Fish)?

My mother used to cook the best tel koi ever.  My elder sister (bordi) used to make this really as well. So I wanted to try it and after a few tries I mastered it too, which I made for my family and now I want to share the recipe with you. Try it, it is delicious. My mom and bordi's pictures below.
