#meetthemeat - This recipe is so unique that you need to try atleast once to believe it. Hilsa - The most favourite fish among the Bengalis is usually prepared using mustard paste in a traditional manner. But how about giving it a new makeover and preparing it in a South Indian fusion style? It was something different from the usual way of cooking and a total surprise package. This delicacy goes well with only plain steamed rice. #goldenapron
