A classic in most Bengali households and is called Mola Carplet in English. It’s a fresh river water fish that is very nutritious for health. I made a Chorchori and it’s a 100 years old recipe that I have cooked many times and love it. The use of mustard oil is more to bring out the flavour. This would taste best with steamed rice.

Thank you Chef Anusree Goswami for your recipe, the link of which is shared below
