Man, it's great to see Bengali recipes online, makes me miss my mom's cooking a little less

Perhaps the very best dish from Bangladesh, (though my fav is Beef shatkora). Hope some native Brits try this recipe. You can find Ilish (Hilsa) fish at any Bangladeshi grocery store. Ask them to cut and debone for you. Saalam bhai: My bari is Borelekha, Im London sylheti and my dad owned Indian restaurants in 19702 and 1980s London!

Taro is also known as Eddoe. The paradox of illish mas is that its one of the most super tasty fish but full of bones. I'm so happy to see that your neutral and extended family are helping you out with your channel.

i appreciate that u showed how to clean the fish, get rid of some parts in the head etc ❤️❤️❤️

Finally!!! Loads of fish recipes!!!!! Hurrah!!! Def going to try this one for dinner. Pls thank your Aunt from us. You sound sooo relaxed beside her. Quality Aunty time.💞

I thought you were going to leave the guys in for a minute!! Love your channel btw - can’t wait to visit your restaurant when we get back to normal

This is the 3rd hilish fish recipe I've seen, this is the best recipe which I'll follow, so all the blessing to your aunt & you 🙌

Great home cooking video, thanks for filming this. at 2:05 at the halfway point of cutting the fish your fantastic welcoming aunt puts down the knife and crosses her hands, once again thanks.

Can you do a home-style everyday bengali curry with the shira and potatoes?

Keeping traditional cooking alive Chef 🇧🇩 looks absolutely gorgeous habibi

I want the Elish Enda, I’ll swap it for some cake.

Latif can you do a tomato tenga tutorial please? My mum used to make a version with no fish when I was little because I used to love the garlicky sauce so much and couldn't manage picking out the bones by myself

Ilish bhapa sorsabata and fry is to die for.. Although korma is a new thing in Bangladesh.. Will try your way soon ❤️❤️😍😍

One of my favourite dishes

I live in Tower Hamlets, walked along the markets under the DLR in Shadwell yesterday. Might pop in to the fish bazaar and pick up one to do this up :D Thank you!

Haaha, good luck cooking the "Ilish Fish and Muuki". Hope it comes out well and you enjoy it.

For all the people complaining about the bones, its the back(goz) of the fish that has small bones, what I do is separate the back and belly of the fish and with the back a make kofta in a food processor and add it to the curry. Bones gone even the kids can eat it. Just like chittol fish kofta.

I just love all your recipees and trying them home with success. I would very like if you could do a Beef Dhansak please. I don't like sweet so I usually do not add sugar nor pinapple but i like the tangny or sour taste. I found many recipee but would very much love to see you doing it for us. Thanks From Canada!

Do love a illish man's ngl.

Loved this recipe

This would be great am sure using something like shark steak, as looking at the fish it looks a similar firm fish. Wonderful recipe by the way.

great video bro. thank you

খুব ভালো লাগলো।

Very nice recipe brother.can we use sea bass or sea bream

I don’t really like Elish fish too many bones but do love the egg and usually put more taro in my curry

I noticed that Aunty cooked the garlic first then added the onion, just as you said Bengali mums do. But you prefer to cook the onions first, then add the garlic. Interesting. I follow your method, btw.

Sautéing the garlic first gives a different flavour to adding the garlic after the onions. However, if you're cooking a curry it won't be the end of the world whichever time you add the garlic, as long as it has melted by the end of the cooking lol. Hope that helps.

Graham this Bengali fish is amazing to eat. However I can only eat the gravy because this fish is dangerously boney which makes it difficult to eat. Trust me you’ll be making a trip to AE with a bone stuck in your throat. I suppose you can use the same recipe for any fish like salmon, trout but not cod. As Latiif said, it is really wonderful.

This fish is native to Bangladesh as is usually sold in places where there is a large diaspora of Bangladeshi living in Europe, Like UK. I doubt you will find Elish fish in Amsterdam as theres probably no Bangladeshi community over there.

Ive had Bangladeshi fish before it was a citrus dish but I dont remember any bones, I would eat that but only if it was filleted, i cant stand bones in chicken or fish

Latif what happened to the eggs bro, you need to have some fish eggs with that.

Never put curry powder in Hilsha fish. It interfere with Ilish flavor.

Any idea when your restaurant can reopen for eating in

Used hate this fish in high school days because of the bones after importing my wife love the fish sadly most of them don't come from Bangladesh

Haddi beshi massor, can't appreciate the fish, too much time sorting out the bones. I love Buahl (few bones) and Gagort.

Not familiar with taro at all! Looks like potato when prepared.

Colocasia esculenta is a tropical plant grown primarily for its edible corms, a root vegetable most commonly known as taro (/ˈtɑːroʊ, ˈtæroʊ/), kalo, dasheen or godere (see §Names and etymology for an extensive list).[citation needed] It is the most widely cultivated species of several plants in the family Araceae that are used as vegetables for their corms, leaves, and petioles. Taro corms are a food staple in African, Oceanic, and South Asian cultures (similar to yams), and taro is believed to have been one of the earliest cultivated plants.

Tastes amazing but has about a million small annoying bones, definitely not one for non Bengalis.

I wouldn't recommend this fish to white people as it's got millions of very tiny bones in it
