With monsoon on the way out, it’s time to make the most of the hilsa while it’s still available. Hilsa Hungama at The Lalit Great Eastern gives you a chance to do just that.
The menu, curated by Madhumita Mohanta, executive chef, offers an amalgamation of the best of recipes from both epaar and opaar Bangla.
“Ilish is an inseparable part of any Bengali. I have seen my mother cook both East and West Bengal styles of ilish at home and I learnt and mastered both the styles. Ilish, to me, is pure love, whichever way you cook it,” said Madhumita.
