About Ilish bhorta
Ilish Bhorta is a traditional Bengali dish made by mashing steamed or fried hilsa fish (ilish), mustard oil, green chilies, and salt. Sometimes, onion or garlic is added to enhance the flavor. This simple yet flavorful recipe is a cherished part of Bengali cuisine, showcasing hilsa, a fish revered for its delicate, buttery texture. Nutritionally, Ilish Bhorta is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health and brain function. Hilsa also provides high-quality protein and essential vitamins like B12 and D. However, the dish's reliance on mustard oil, while aromatic and culturally significant, contributes to its high-fat content, which should be consumed in moderation. The addition of chilies adds antioxidants but can be spicy for some individuals. Paired with steamed rice, Ilish Bhorta is a celebrated comfort food that reflects the vibrant culinary heritage of Bengal.
