Zamin Doz Machhli refers to a traditional fish dish from the royal kitchens of Awadh. The old recipe of the Zamin Doz Machhli uses a whole fish that is stuffed with spices, sealed in an earthenware case, buried in the ground and cooked by placing cowdung-cake fire on the ground above. It is a strenuous effort to cook and takes 6 to 8 hours to cook this dish. Zamin Doz Machhli has a hearty earthy flavor. In the olden days, Zamin Doz Machhli was prepared in special earthenware cases according to the size and shape of the fish to be cooked.
