🇧🇩 Bangladesh recipe
Shutki Bhorta
Shutki bhorta is among the most intensely flavored dishes in Bangladeshi cuisine, made from sun-dried fish that has been preserved for months, giving it an extraordinarily pungent aroma and concentrated umami taste. The dried fish is fried until crisp and then mashed with raw onions, green chilies, and mustard oil. It is a dish that divides opinion but is deeply beloved across rural and urban Bangladesh alike.
