Bhetki Paturi

Bhetki Paturi is a traditional Bengali delicacy where the fresh fillet of Kolkata bhetki is marinated in a bold mix of mustard paste, grated coconut, mustard oil, and green chilies. This preparation is then gently wrapped in banana leaf, tied with thread, and steam-cooked, allowing the fish to absorb all the earthy, pungent, and rich flavors while remaining moist and tender. The banana leaf not only locks in the juices but also imparts a subtle, smoky aroma, making each bite unforgettable.
