This flavourful fish can change your whole experience with fish curry. It's our national fish so you can guess how attached we are to this dish.
The problem is, hilsha is a very bony fish. But as we use our hands to eat, we can easily pick the bones apart.
Many authentic dishes can be made with hilsha fish. One is simple spicy curry. It goes quite well with rice.
Here's the recipe.
Put onion, turmeric and chili powder, and salt in vegetable oil. And cook it for 15 minutes. Add water in intervals.
The fish is very soft, only takes a few minutes to cook. So cook the spices properly before adding the fish.
Here are the hills fish pieces. Add them when the spice is ready. Cook one side for one minute and then flip carefully so the fish don't come off.
After cooking another minute on the other side, add some green chilies and a small amount of sugar to balance the taste.
Then, add a good amount of water. If you are not gonna enjoy it with rice then add a small amount of water. The fish is so flavourful, it makes the whole curry delicious.
After 5-7 minutes turn off the heat and the curry will be ready to serve.
Isn't look delicious?
This is a very simple dish, anyone can try. If you are a big fan of hilsha or any fish in general, you can try this recipe. This way you will get the full flavor of the fish.
I hope you enjoyed my authentic Bangladeshi dish. Have a wonderful day ahead.
