#indiankitchen - An all time favourite of mine and most of the Bengali crowd, this is a very simple and an easy Hilsa Fish in mustard oil gravy. It has minimum of ingredients. The base of the gravy has only turmeric powder, red chilli powder and salt cooked with a tempering of nigella seeds in mustard oil. So less effort but the end product is just mouth watering with a drizzle of some raw mustard oil. To sum up it is pure divine and a must try recipe. This Bong delicacy is best enjoyed with only plain steamed rice. #goldenapron
