Bhapa Ilish .
Gorgeous Ilish steaks. A slather of piquant mustard. A generous glug of mustard oil. A throw of wicked green chillies. All snugly packed in an old-school stainless steel tiffin-box and steamed to perfection.
(And that intoxicating aroma when you prise open the lid of the box. What a delight for the olfactory nerves !!)
This is food heaven !!!

And now for Maa’s tips – Add a tablespoon odd of onion paste to the mustard.
I know, I know from that frown of yours laced with violent skepticism, (S’ reaction the first time had been far more stark), but do try it once and let me know if it works for you !!!
Enjoy !!
