This is a river water fish found mostly in Bengal and Bangladesh.It is a delicate fish with very less bones and a light curry enhances the sweetness of the fish.The fish is cooked with the addition of vadi only or some use fried slices of brinjal or parwal. This dish goes well with a plate of steaming hot rice.
