Authentic Bengali Fish Recipes: From Ilish Jhol to Bhetki Paturi

By Chef Sourav Das

Authentic Bengali Fish Recipes: From Ilish Jhol to Bhetki Paturi
A culinary look into how our chefs prepare wild-caught Hilsa, Bhetki, and jumbo prawns using authentic Bengali spices.

Food at Sanchita Hotel & Restaurant is deeply rooted in Bengali culinary heritage. With Shankarpur fishing harbor just down the road, our kitchen sources live fish and prawns directly from trawlers.

From the pungent aroma of mustard in Bhetki Paturi wrapped in banana leaves to the royal richness of Chingri Malai Curry cooked in fresh coconut milk, every recipe celebrates authentic seaside traditions.
