Grind to a smooth paste the mustard seeds, poppy seeds, half teaspoon turmeric powder and 4-5 green chilies. Use little water to wet grind.
Arrange the slices of fish in a shallow microwaveable glass dish. Slobber the spice mixture on the fish. Add the yogurt, slice lengthwise the remaining green chilies and add them too.
Top the fish pieces up with a teaspoon of turmeric powder, salt and drizzle the mustard oil. With a small spatula, evenly coat everything onto the fish pieces.
Cover with a cling wrap and keep for at least 10 minutes. Microwave the fish for 10 minutes. Serve the Ilish Maacher Paturi with steaming plain white rice.
