Hi Sandeepa, I tried Doi Ilish over the weekend. It came out well. The only annoying part was the bones in the hilsa.... it was a pain removing the bones and it has too many bones... the fish was tasty though.... next time I will try it with salmon or tilapia fillet. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Hi Sandeepa, could you suggest a substitute for hilsa in Doi Ilish? My local grocer doesn't carry hilsa. There is a speciality store near by which carries large variety of seafood. I will check there but, incase I can't hilsa, which fish would u suggest?

1. First of all I don't know why you would add mango puree instead of curd, the taste will be hugely different. I have never had such a combo in fact.

2. I am not sure if you are used to Indian food. Maybe the spiciness of the mustard paste did not suit you ? The curd was supposed to mellow it down.

3.I have no idea what you can do with the curry as I don't even know how it tastes with mango puree

Since we are vegetarian, I had to think a bit to adapt this recipe for us, but I am so glad I made the effort. Your pungent mustard-yoghurt sauce is a wonder to experience - next time I make it I will even get a little bit of mustard oil into the house.

To give you some idea of how much I appreciated the recipe, I can just say that my adaptation of this was the first recipe I posted to my new food blog; you inspire people to unusual steps :-)

Sandeepa, I was browsing through Desi Momz Club and I have to say I am so impressed. You should start a professional website on this topic. It was really great to see what is going through everyone's mind. Great work, and a really nice community service I think.

Kudos to you.

Hi Sandeepa
Felt like I must have overslept for a full week. Looks like you had it easy this week to key in 2 posts, during my weekend break from blogging.

2007-08-19T01:16:00.000-04:00

Bee
I have never had posto with garlic. Bengali Cuisine doesn't use a lot of garlic and Posto for us is strictly "niramish" so no garlic. also the garlic overpowers the flavor of Posto which is itself very nice I think

Shnatanu
You are right that's what attracted me to it. Its pretty good if you like the garlic flavor. But definitely will not do with Ilish. I don't want garlic with my Ilish

Eve's Lungs
Yes as I told Shantanu, try the Orissa recipe with Rohu, Ilish will not be a good idea for that garlicy taste

Indosungod
Of the fresh fish that we get from the Asian Market, Tilapia is the one that is most popular closely followed by striped bass and strout

Since you are a Mallu and Coconut is in your blood :) I would say you try the Prawn Malaikari.
Also again since you are a Mallu I can completely trust you with the prawn and also with the prawn head which makes the dish more delicious

You made me do it. bad girl :)

I don't make mustardy fish very often but I love Hilsa with a touch of mustard and the Tilapia tasted good too

Sorry don't mean to be rude but while you were talking (text copy) I kept staring at the fish. :) I do love me any fish cooked with some gravy/sauce, a little pickle and some rice. Am I bad? :D

2007-08-18T14:31:00.000-04:00

how are you my dear??? Thanks so much for leaving me a note, I had been so busy until now.....and summer's almost gone. :(

That yogurt mustard sauce is lovely, I had an idea to use it with some "drumsticks" instead of the fish...think that would work?? :)
hope all's well with you!
