Ilish or Hilsa fish is something which all Bengalees relish.
In Bengal, ilish can be smoked, fried, steamed or baked in young plantain leaves, prepared with mustard seed paste, curd, eggplant, different condiments like jira (cumin) and so on.
Ladies' wing of NBC celebrated Ilish Parbon and Friendship Day together today at Regency Tower Community Hall, Kavesar, Thane (W).
Ladies gathered in large numbers and celebrated it like a festival. Friendship bands made everyone remember their childhood days. The celebration was followed by lunch with the most preferred delicacy of Bengal, “Bhapa Ilish Maach”. Everyone relished and enjoyed the preparation. It was a well organised programme.
