Ilish Macher Paturi | Traditional Freshwater Fish Dish From Bangladesh | TasteAtlas

Ilish macher paturi

Ilish macher paturi is the national dish of Bangladesh. It is made with ilish fish that has been marinated with ground spices before it's wrapped in banana leaves and steamed or roasted. The ingredients used in the dish typically include mustard paste, chili peppers, mustard oil, and turmeric.


A little bit of the marinade is usually saved and poured over the fish after it's been cooked. The dish is traditionally accompanied by rice on the side.
