Hilsa, also called, Ilish is a coastal delicacy in Bengal, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Bangladesh. It is eaten in Malaysia, Indonesia and Myanmar too. In India it is fished for in the Chilika lake, the Mahanadi, Hooghly, Godavari and Narmada rivers.

A fish rich in omega 3 fatty acids (according to research done at the Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute, Barrackpur, West Bengal), in Odisha it is often prepared with yoghurt, mustard seed paste ane sabzi like brinjal, alu and gourd are mixed in.

I present my paternal aunt Sandhyarani Mohapatra's recipe for Hilsa Fish Curry With Veggies, which makes for a lovely satisfying Sunday lunch.
