🐟Shorshe Bhapa Ilish (Steamed Mustard Hilsa)

​A classic Bengali delicacy where tender Hilsa fish is gently steamed in a rich, pungent mustard and coconut paste.

​🛒 Ingredients
​For the Fish & Marination:
​Ilish (Hilsa) steaks: I have taken 9 pieces
​Turmeric powder: 1 tsp
​Salt: To taste

​For the Mustard Paste:
​White (yellow) mustard seeds: 4 tbsp,
​Black mustard seeds: 3 tbsp (soaked in water for 15-20 mins)
​Grated fresh coconut: 2 tbsp
​Cashew nuts: 4-5 whole
​Onion: 1 medium (chopped)
​Garlic: 6-8 cloves
​Green chillies: 3-4 (adjust to heat preference)
​Dry red chilly: 1 piece
​Turmeric powder: 2 tsp
​Mustard oil: 4-5 tbsp
​Salt: A pinch

​For the Final Mixing & Steaming:
​Curd (Yogurt): 3 tbsp (whisked)
​Mustard oil: 2-3 tbsp (for greasing + drizzling)
​Green chillies: 2-3 (slit, for garnish)
​Banana leaf: 1 small piece (cut to fit the container)

​👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
​1. Marinate the Fish
​Clean the Hilsa pieces gently. Rub them thoroughly with salt and turmeric powder. Set aside for 10–15 minutes.

​2. Prepare the Mustard Blend
​Drain the soaked white and black mustard seeds.
​In a blender, combine the mustard seeds, grated coconut, cashews, onion, garlic, green chillies, dry red chilly, turmeric, mustard oil, and a pinch of salt. Blend into a completely smooth, fine paste (add a splash of water if needed).

​Optional: Strain the paste through a sieve if you prefer a perfectly smooth texture without seed skins.

​3. Mix the Marinade
​Transfer the blended paste into a mixing bowl. Add the whisked curd and stir until well combined. Toss the marinated fish pieces into this mixture, ensuring every piece is generously coated.

​4. Setup the Steaming Container
​Take a traditional steel tiffin box with a tight-fitting lid.
​Place the cut piece of banana leaf at the bottom of the box and grease it lightly with a little mustard oil.
​Arrange the coated fish pieces neatly inside. Pour any remaining mustard paste over the top.
​Top with a few slit green chillies and a final drizzle of mustard oil for that pungent aroma.
Secure the lid tightly.

​5. Steam to Perfection
​Place a trivet or stand inside a ...
