India is one of the few countries that is blessed with four seasons and seasonal food; and each season offers a unique culinary experience. Right now, it’s time to devour the prized hilsa, a one-of-a-kind fish that’s extremely popular in eastern India and Bangladesh. But if you’re a city foodie who craves for this fish, you can start the feasting, thanks to a month-long menu, including hilsa delicacies at the newly-opened Powai-based Calcutta Chronicles.
The eatery is offering dishes like cheese-dhonepata ilish (hilsa in cheese and coriander curry), ilish kalojeera begoon jhol (hilsa in nigella seeds and brinjal curry), shorshe ilish (hilsa in mustard curry) and ilish fry (deep fried hilsa). Consulting chef Joy Banerjee, who crafted the menu, shares, “Cheese dhonepata ilish is currently the favourite among hilsa-lovers, as it combines the flavours of the East and the West.” The eatery is happy to prepare the hilsa as per one’s preference, even if it’s not on the menu.
