Once again I am here with a traditional fish recipe from bengal. Sorshe ilish is famous in Bengal very much. Like in every bengali family, Sorshe ilish is a traditional fish recipe which is little changed nowadays in procedure wise. In my recipe I add little yogurt to it to make the gravy little thick and rich in taste. And it also helps to reduce the strong flavor of mustard seeds. It can be made in various ways like steamed hilsa or in simmer method. Both the ways are marvelous I  can say. But in steamer procedure some people wont like to fry the fishes,after marination with spices it is stored in a tiffin box and steam with little water in simmer. In the second procedure I would like to fry the fishes lightly and then simmer with spices and cover with a lid for sometimes. This is just a fabulous flavorful authentic traditional fish recipe which goes very well with plain warm rice. Friends try this Bengali recipe, I know you will love it for very sure.
