Hilsa / Ilish Panikhola is a delicious and light recipe. If you want to get the real taste or flavor of hilsa fish, this recipe is the perfect choice for you. I have heard about this recipe from many of my friends. Last week I brought a big hilsa fish weighing about 1.5 kg. I do not prefer to buy hilsha or iish below 1.2 kg. Since I have never cooked this dish before so I thought I would make this recipe of Hilsa using few pieces. The soft taste of this recipe is still on the tongue!
