Read moreBeing a Bengali it is something obvious to have a cravings over fish,specially on Ilish.I don’t think any Bengali needs any introduction on this.We all know how Bengali’s waited for the oil and obviously for the extremely tender fish that one could ask for.
So in this ilish season we went to Ilish Truly Bong for enjoying the fleshy fulsomeness of the Bengalis’ favourite fish, the silvery hilsa.Apart from that we were fortunate enough to come across with some of their special dishes.
We started off with a fried piece of ilish with a generous amount of tel(the oil we get after frying the ilish fish) with steamed rice. Secondly we had ilish biriyani in kolkata style.That was again a speciality of them.You can choose another version of biriyani as well,Mughlai ilish biriyani.That too was a blockbuster.
Luchi,kosha mangsho was also served along with this.That too was a eternal best combination which tastes amazing.
Nababi ilish, a huge piece of hilsa submerged in a white smooth creamy gravy.The gravy was a combination of cashew,melon seeds,poppy seeds paste,and of course with a generous amount of fresh cream.
Chingri malarkari, though we know the never ending debate over the bangal-ghoti over ilish and chingri.So for them this restaurant has options for prawn lovers as well.Authentic chingri malaikari was served in jumbo pieces of prawn.
Something which was innovative,Begun pathar modhuchandrima.This was the showstopper of the table.Half deep fried bringal topped with minced mutton keema and a crispy layer of breadcrumbs.That was actually a honeymoon dish.
Ilish thali,this will start from 695/- and can be customisable and can be extended upto 1800/-. This thali can be more than sufficient for one person.Steamed rice,postor bora as starter,shukto,dal,ilish bhapa,chutney,papad,payesh as dessert and obviously ilish bhaja.Without ilish bhaja thali is incomplete.We can add on or substract the ilish thali with our choice.
This was all on the plate,Thanks to Ilish Truly Bong for the amazing hospitality and Debadrita Basak for the invitation. Koninika De Dipyaman Basu for all the...
