The relationship between fish and rice is inseparable from Bengali culture. Fish and rice is not only a reflection of Bengali food habits, it also represents the history, tradition, lifestyle and culture of Bengalis. For centuries, the people of this region have been living in a natural environment surrounded by rivers, canals, ponds and ponds. These water bodies are the main source of fish and rice is cultivated in abundance in the fertile soil. As a result, rice and fish have naturally become the main food of Bengalis. The riverine landscape of Bangladesh has ensured the abundance of fish. Various types of fish are found in the Padma, Meghna, Jamuna and Brahmaputra rivers and ponds. Fish such as rai, katla, hilsa etc.
are enough to satisfy Bengali taste buds. And due to the long tradition of rice cultivation, rice has always been considered the main food. A plate of hot rice with a piece of fish is a familiar picture of Bengalis.Fish is not only a food but also has a deep presence in Bengali culture. Fish is mentioned in songs, proverbs, poems and even ancient stories. From a nutritional point of view, fish and rice are beneficial for Bengalis. Rice provides carbohydrates, which are the main source of energy, while fish
contains protein, fatty acids, omega-3 vitamins. Freshwater fish in particular are easy to digest and healthy.So today I have shared a simple recipe for Katla fish with rice.
First wash the Katla fish well, then rub it with chili powder, turmeric powder, salt and fry it lightly in soybean oil. After frying, lightly fry the onion with green chilies in the oven, then add water, turmeric powder, salt, cumin powder, cumin paste and mix well and add the fish and remove after 15 minutes. The taste of a piece of fish with hot rice is amazing.
