A very popular Bengali cuisine .In this cuisine fish is cooked in mustard - poppy seeds paste along with green chilli and mustard oil , wrapped with banana leaf.The fish is then steamed or shallow fried.I have followed both the process and the feedback is quite overwhelming for me. Traditionally bhetki or hilsha fish is used but i have used sardin fish fillets.Instead of banana leaf i have wrapped them in cabbage leaf.
