Panta Bhat here was solidly made — fresh and fishy without anything to complain about. green chilli was present and handled reasonably.

I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Panta Bhat correctly.

I ate Panta Bhat at three different restaurants in the same week to compare. The results were illuminating. The use of panch phoron five-spice varied significantly — only one got it right. The pungent from mustard oil profile should be consistent but interpretation differs widely. Bengali cuisine s…

By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating. hilsa fish is a cultural icon in Bangladesh…
