Hilsa Fish or Illish Mach is our favourite and my mother prepares it like heaven. I like all the recipes made by her but this recipe is special. A soulful food that I am fond of. Hilsa Fish Stew with Brinjal makes a unique combination and I can easily finish of my lunch with this curry with a bowl full of rice. My mother’s special dish is cooked by me and I dedicate this recipe to my mother.
