Ilish Mach er Dim Bhuna | Ilish Mach er Dim er Jhuri

It's been a long I was planning to post the recipe for Ilish Mach er Dim Bhuna yet I was not able to make it. The reason is nothing but the availability of Ilish Mach-er dim aka Hilsa roe in bulk. However, the last week's purchase had more than enough roe to make the Ilish Macher Dim er Jhuri. Yes, this dish goes by both names, Bhuna and Jhuri. This is not a usual curry with Hilsa fish but macher dim torkari where the fish is used differently.

In my place, we mostly call the stir-fried Hilsa roe, Ilish Macher Dim er Jhuri. I have seen my Bangladeshi friends referring to this as Ilish Macher Dim Bhuna. The recipe is almost the same as that we follow here in West Bengal and also in Bangladesh. It is basically the easiest way to utilize excess Hilsa roe to make a delectable side dish with piping hot rice. By the way, can there be at all extra or unnecessary Ilish er dim? I don't think so. Okay, let me rephrase the sentence, Ilish Macher Dim er Jhuri is another mouth-watering Ilish recipe one should try instead of only frying the macher dim or instead of cooking it along with the match while cooking Ilish bhapa or doi ilish or shorshe ilish.

No-fuss recipe of Ilish Mach er Dim Bhuna!

What you need is a chunk of Hilsa roe, some onion, tomatoes, ginger-garlic, green chilies, and also a few spices to make this dish. However, I prefer to add a few pieces of Ilish mach along with the roe to make it more flavorful. This step is completely optional yet if you go by my suggestion, necessary.

The mandatory do's and don'ts related to the ethical consumption of Hilsa!

I guess this part of the blog post is nothing but a statutory warning. Please don't purchase Khoka Ilish. Think about the future generation. I don't want them to know Ilish only through pictures, articles, and books. I know you also think the same. Don't you? While purchasing Ilish; plan the cooking part beforehand. Make two or three types of dishes using one fish. This way you will be able to eat different dishes with ilish without the burden of over-eating. I'll be sharing the recipes of ilish delicacies below from where you can choose what else can you cook with the rest of the pieces after utilizing the roe and a piece or two after cooking the Ilish Macher Dim Bhuna. Last but not the least, limit the consumption within the period that is advisable for eating Hilsa. Let us not make Hilsa fish an endangered species.
