Ilish Maach Bhaja (Hilsa Fish Fry)

#indiankitchen - Hilsa fish, the most favourite delicacy among the Bong crowd, is relished in many ways. Some like it in a steamed form and some with gravy. But this is the fried version where the fish is only marinated with salt and turmeric powder and shallow fried in mustard oil.
1-2 dry red chilies too are fried in the same oil. It is then mixed with plain steamed rice along with the oil in which it was fried, a pinch of salt and the fried chilies crushed into it. This is how it is enjoyed as a main course. Fresh green / red chilies can also be substituted. It is simply divine.
