Welcome to My Channel!
Today, I am excited to share two delicious Hilsa fish recipes: Ilish Paturi and Ilish Chhal (Hilsa Curry). This time, the fish I used had plenty of eggs, which is excellent for health as Ilish eggs are known to relieve constipation. Let’s dive into the recipes!
Ilish Paturi Recipe:
To start, I gently marinated the Hilsa fish with salt and turmeric to avoid breaking the delicate fish eggs. Then, I picked a fresh banana leaf from my garden-an essential element in making this dish.
Ingredients:
1/2 Coconut (grated)
2 tablespoons Black Mustard Seeds
2 tablespoons White Mustard Seeds
1 tablespoon Poppy Seeds
4 Green Chilies
Salt to taste
Oil (preferably mustard oil)
Water (for paste preparation)
3 tablespoons Yogurt
A pinch of Turmeric Powder
A pinch of Chili Powder
Fresh Banana Leaves for wrapping the fish
Process:
Prepare the Paste: Blend mustard seeds, poppy seeds, coconut, and green chilies with a bit of water. Then, beat yogurt into the paste, adding salt and oil to it.
Marinate the Fish: Rub the fish with turmeric and chili powder.
Prepare the Banana Leaves: Lightly dry the banana leaves over heat to make them flexible and prevent tearing while folding.
Wrap the Fish: Place a portion of the mustard paste on the banana leaf, put the marinated fish on it, add some more paste on top, and place two green chilies. Drizzle mustard oil, then fold the leaf and tie it securely with thread.
Cook the Fish: Heat a pan, grease it with mustard oil, and place the wrapped fish inside. Cover with a lid and cook on low heat. Flip the fish after 5 minutes to cook both sides evenly.
Ilish Chhal (Hilsa Curry) Recipe:
After finishing the Ilish Paturi, I moved on to making a classic Ilish curry.
Process:
Heat mustard oil in a pan and add green chilies and black cumin seeds for tempering.
Prepare a mustard-green chili paste and add it to the pan. Simmer with turmeric, salt, and additional green chilies.
Add the cooked fish into the curry and drizzle some mustard oil for extra flavor.
Once everything is cooked, the delightful Ilish Paturi and Hilsa Curry are ready to be enjoyed with rice.
