        Rohu is a freshwater 
        fish with a unique flavour | 
    
     
      |   | 
      and 
      truly delicious when cooked this way. | 
    
     
      |   | 
      As 
      rohu is not available in the UK, 
      I've used | 
    
     
      |   | 
      
      monkfish and it tastes amazing! |
