About Poi Machha

A lip-smacking dish prepared with Malabar spinach and Fish. It brings your taste bud a pickled flavor making you crave for more.

I tried this dish a year back at a marriage party in Odisha & I ended eating 3 piece 🙂 This looks very tempting, so can be a winner in your party.

I have prepared with Rohu Fish, but you can try with other fish like prawn, bhetki etc.
