Fish Head Pulao
#riceisthebest - If you are a fish head lover and a bit of an adventurous type, then go ahead and try this fish head pulao. It is a one pot meal that can be relished just as it is, with some sliced onion (opt) and lemon wedges. You need nothing else. I have used Hilsa (Ilish Maach) fish head but you can try with any other fish head too.
