Ilish Bhapa Shorshe Diye—Bengali Recipe of Steamed Hilsa in Mustard-Coconut Paste—Easy Ilish Recipe
Ilish Bhaape (hilsa fish steamed in mustard) 250g (4 pcs) ilish machh, 3cm thick pieces; fish without roe (eggs) is fattier and ideal for this recipe if your fish has eggs remove them, as they may not cook fully when steamed 40g mustard seeds, soaked in water for 2 hours strain green chillies 4 pcs salt 22g water 100g grind mustard until completely smooth:
the smoother the paste, the better, so take your time you should see only tiny flecks fresh coconut 40g (shave off the skin) chop roughly add to grinder jar blend until coconut pieces have broken down yoghurt 25g (beat until uniform) steel tiffin box with tight-fitting lid mustard, chillies, salt, coconut paste beaten yoghurt sugar 1/4 tsp, turmeric 1/2 tsp mustard oil 20g coat each piece of ilish with mustard paste don’t forget the cavities REMEMBER: If your ilish has eggs, remove them. You can add them to your ilish bhaja (fry) or jhol (curry) slit 4 more green chillies one for each ilish 🙂 fasten the lid you can also cover your dish
with thick aluminium foil allow the fish to marinate for 15 minutes place a stand (this came with our pressure cooker) pour hot water: it should not reach above half the height of your container; there ís a danger of water seeping in wait for it to come to a boil cover and steam on medium heat for 15 minutes; don’t overcook the fish! rest, with lid on for 5 minutes
HOW TO MAKE A GOOD MUSTARD PASTE THAT IS NOT BITTER:
– Start by soaking the mustard in water for two hours (at least).
– Strain and then grind the mustard in a grinder or on a shil nora along with green chillies and salt.
– Depending on the size of your grinder jar, you need to take sufficient quantity of mustard seeds so that it comes up above the blades. Otherwise your paste won't be smooth enough.
– Grind patiently until your mustard resembles the consistency of sandalwood paste. The brown mustard skins should look like specks or dots and no bigger.
– Taste the paste. If it is not noticeably bitter, congratulations! You have made respectable mustard paste fit for a Bengali dish. The tiny hint of bitterness will go away when we cook the mustard.
PS. This is not relevant to this recipe, but sauteing mustard paste in oil DOES NOT turn it bitter. It is a food myth. That only happens if your mustard paste is bitter to begin with.
First fry the fish
Just awesome
Awesome. Its a treat to the eye to watch your channel. Dont you use mustard oil?

Hi there! I made this tonight as-is using halibut steaks as that's what I get in Hong Kong. It was absolutely delicious. Thank you for sharing such precise recipes. Also I love that you use weight measures. Looking forward to making your alo'r dum next.
darun byapar. I used coconut powder which was also good. Just the texture was less.
Is Hilsa available in US and what is it called in English?
I inquired at Indian store about this fish and spoke with a Bangla lady and she said this fish has lot of bones. Do you suggest using this recipe to make tilapia or salmon ?

What a fab method to cook, 😍
Mouth watering
Can I use mustard powder instead of real mustard seeds and if I can how much the quantity I should take??
Great initiative! & your contents are way more than good…
This fish is called hilsa when caught in sea. These fish swim upstream against the godavari flow in Andhra Pradesh and when caught in the river its called “ Pulsa “ . This fish acquires great taste because of its heavy sweat when it swims upstream .., its skin turns much more shiny due to this. Its sold for atleast 4000 INR per kg of fish.
Sir I suggest it should be 1 kg.Then there will be more adult fish for spawning . This way we can recover our loss.
Very nice presentation !!

I am having these crazy cravings today and I'm just binge watching all your episodes. It alone is sufficient for a foodgasm!!
U guys are amazing. Your love for Calcutta, passion for good food and a certain meticulous perfectionism shines through! Keep up the good work!
Rheumatism,,,,,, I don't know why people mix fish and meat with milk products….. me Avoid
No mustard oil……why?
Wow!!! Not as complicated as I thought it would be.
Hi bong eats,I tried making ilish bhaape today following ur channel.I have followed the exact measurements given here.The dish came out really well,fish is perfectly cooked with a nice aroma,but the salt content is very much on the higher side.Even while having with rice,finding it very salty.Can u please guide where did I go wrong?
Any katla or rui dish please…
i m really dying to eat this, its called bati basa in odisha and it tastes awesome
plss show how to cook daab chingri..
I love to eat but I hate cooking myself…so I don't usually cook…This recipe looked very easy and yummy to me..so I gave it a try on this Noboborsho..My parents and 13 year old nephew ate it and said it was delicious! It really was.. Another reason for cooking this was to prove them that I can cook! 😉 haha
Where did u get this steel tiffin from
The most funny thing about hilsa crisis is that we will conserve them to kill them again just to fill our stomach whats the point as if it is an important thing to survive if we dont hilsa eat will we die?
Uffff ki Sundar presentation..daruuun laglo preparation..
Shorshe ilish…bangalir chokhe jol mukhe haashi😘

Nice information basically awareness part was heart touching just save ilish our test and love
Illish mach Bangladesh er jatio mach.Bangladesh er macher jonno indi ar shochetonota valo laglo
Why is sugar used many people diabetic
Which blender do you use? Can you please recommend me the brand.
Govt theke strict action neya uchit. Some thing like banning sale and purchase of Hilsa completely for 2 years. This will significantly increase the number and production of this fish. Making the general people aware of the situation will not help. Common people will continue consuming smaller variety of Hilsa and the current situation will worsen more rather than improving.
Veryyyy nice recipe mem 👌👌👌soooo yummy😋😋😋😋
I'm from Arunachal Pradesh… I love <3 Bengali food!
I wonder how this dish or Ilish, in general, would turn out when made sous vide. ChefSteps should take note. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5upbD6mSEmk 🙂

Where and how to get this glass lid tiffin box.
Add veggie recipes also pls
খুব ভালো হয়েছে তবে আর একটু শরষের তেল দিলে ভালো হতো আমার মনে হয় ☺
Excellent video, not only bcz of the recipe bt also for the inititative👍
Please make a campaign through you channel that illish should not be bought during breeding time and below the weight of 500 gms.That we can save illish for future. West Bengal govt. has no concern about this , channel like yours can do miracle. Plz initiate save illish campaign. Hasina govt. in Bangladesh is very successful in this regard.
what other types of fish can be used for this?
Kobe khabo tahole ilish????

Hi can I use Tez Pt3 Kachi Ghani Mustard oil for cooking? I live in the US , and it's labelled for external use only, but all mustard oil brands have this label on them, so I bought this one as I wanted to first get only a small bottle of oil….
Can you please let me know for 1kg fish how much (in weight) mustard seed I have to use?
The last time I tried to make this dish, the lid of the steel tin got stuck so so so badly that it opened only the next day and that too after a humongous struggle. There was this huuuge vacuum that had got created. Even after the tin had cooled down, it wouldn't open. Finally I had to stand it on its side, hammer the entire circumference with a pestle and only then it opened with a mini blast and all the fish inside just spilled into the sink.
Thanks,I was searching for this recipe…thanx a lot
Can we use mustard paste available in market instead of [email protected],I mean sometimes don't have time to prepare the past e
