Now you should regale your fa...Nice post, Sandeepa. Now you should regale your fans with the TRULY barbaric Bangla delicacy: fish innards, liver, float bladder, lots of frames and bones, cooked with mixed vegetables in a dryish mess, horrible to look at delicious to eat. BTW, the badge of barbarism belongs to those from North Calcutta, who manage to relish piping hot fried paka pona, slightly mature rohu >3 kg in weight, but not too large a size. THis is eaten mixed with sweet lal doi, yoghurt flavored with caramel, the milk being thickened to create a thick layer of cream on the yoghurt. Cool dahi, hot fish; do you wonder why Kolkata Bangalis are such aberrants and perverts? lol! <br /><br /> 'kaatlaa, Cyprinus catla (?) can get very large, 10-12 kg not being unusual in the early 60s, even from our own pond!! It is a coarser fish, the large fatty belly being used for Doi maach, where the freshest fish can be used raw, w/o the compulsory pre-frying of W. Bengal, or just lightly fried. Have a couple of old-time N. Calcutta recipes for those who are interested. They are SWEET with sugar, be warned! <br /><br />All those innards and bones should come from the carps, or from hilsa. Pui shaak is a favorite foil, along with kabocha/calabaza pumpkin, skin on, excellent eggplant cubed, and just a couple more veggies. Dark, mysterious and funky, great with truly fresh fish innards!gautamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188124842361333060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-68677968229966359972013-08-16T09:05:59.013-04:002013-08-16T09:05:59.013-04:00could not find the recipe !!
