Fish fry recipe-Apanjan-style-Bengali fish cutlet with Bhetki-Pujo special Kolkata street food

- Bengali fish fry recipe: A fish fry or diamond fry in Calcutta is a crumb-coated fillet of bhetki-something that would be called a fish cutlet elsewhere. Fish fry is served by cabin-style restaurants, small take-away shops, street food vendors, as well as in catered events such as weddings.
Calcutta has no dearth of good fish fries. Some of the ones we love include Badshah (Jadavpur), Mitra Cafe (Sobhabazar), etc. For this recipe, we wanted to recreate our favourite fish fry, which comes from a shop named Apanjan (আপনজন) in Kalighat. Apanjan's large fish fries are even bigger than the size we ended up using.
We received a lot of technical inputs from jethu (Saptarshi's uncle) Sujit Chakraborty-who besides being a great cook, has been running a catering business for the last 30 years.
Over the course of testing this recipe, we visited several markets in Calcutta. If you want bhetki fillets the best place to go to is Fish Range, New Market. The shop we purchased our fillets from was called A.K.G. & Co. The owner, Atanu Gurey, was patient and helpful, and his staff adept at creating perfect, uniform rectangles of fish exactly to our size specification. We have shown the whole process of filleting the whole bhetki both for documentation, and for anyone who may be interested in learning to do it themselves.
Following jethu's suggestion we kept our marinade simple, using only green chillies, coriander and flat-leaf or Italian parsley. We also tried adding mint, but preferred the version without better. You are, however, free to play around with the flavours as long as you keep the ratio of the marinade to the fish constant.

A couple of years back, I happened to visit Kolkata...a short 3 days business visit...
The entire visit, i tried bengali food - for the first time in my life, fried fish, curry, steamed in banana leaf all in local small restaurants...each one of the dish just blew me away!
I haven't got a chance to visit Bengal again...but almost every other day, I crave for the things that I had eaten there...
The nature of my work keeps me busy...but I hope and wish that I take my family to Kolkata...for the amazing food!

That's how an influencer works. You not only show your talent but also of those who are equally appreciable for this perfect recepie that you present to us. From phuchka wala, jhalmuri wala n lebu cha wala.. You give them their due respect. You justify cooking as an art. ❤️
These fish market guys can give any top chef s run for their Money. love that part was included in the video. This is what sets you guys apart
I couldn't help but think of Tsukiji Wonderland... Hope more people see your works and be more proud of our beautiful culinary culture! ❤️
You made the food talk, the recipe talk, the people who made these beautiful dishes talk, without uttering a single word..
You make the picture tell thousands of stories ❤️❤️❤️❤️
ALLAH bless you all for this awesome channel and your hard work putting it together for everyone. Lots of love from Afghanistan 🇦🇫🇦🇫🇦🇫

Ohhh.... An audience so far from kolkata!!
Welcome to the world of Bengali cuisine (through videos though)!
I love this channel. Married a bengali i learnt all the bengali recipes from here☺☺☺
I couldn't have given a better gift to my daughter on her birthday than this dish. Thank you for sharing this recipe. Seeing her happiness while relishing the fry made my day . Thank you 😊😊
There is a balance and nuance in every video..that is hard to find these days..what a wonderful channel..one might even call it poetic😊
The first 3 minutes of the video made me nostalgic but in a happy way. The ‘matha and knata’ of big bhetkis are also sold in new market. They are the secret to the most delicious chhanchra 🥰😉.

I get to eat this every year in Bangalore during Durga puja..( thanks to the Bengali association people for the food stalls ) the fish and the mustard sauce with onion is just too good. The poori, mutton and chicken curry, fish wrapped in banana leaf and many more which I don't know the names of. It's that time of the year again.. and iam excited !!
Hey Sandhya, Can u suggest some bengali food stalls in Bengaluru during puja?
Hi... U can visit the Mangala kalyanamantapa in police quarters and in the grounds opposite the kalyanamantapa in koramangala. Then you can also find it in murgeshpalya and HSR.
Stalls are open only during Durga puja.
That 'poori' which you're referring to is not puri, it's luchi 😊
@@batashkrsakta3490ok. Thanks 😊
The first part of preparing the fillet is pure art! I had seen Japanese sushi chefs with a kind of Zen-line calmness while filleting their fish, but this is something much more homely and warm to watch! And the recipe, as usual, is on flick!
M I the only one who can see the love the fillets have received during the process?
I have never seen such detailed, honest, crafty and scientific recipes ever anywhere else. If there was an Oscars for cooking videos, I think you could just easily walk in to the nominations!
At least one of you is a software developer. Of this I am sure. It is evident from how well documented your videos are. No missing links, no undeclared variable, neat and clean presentation.
Or an academic. The level of precision and detail, is well, academic 😊.

Your videos are therapeutic. I look forward to every Friday like it's some movie release. Love your work! :)

I am a Gujarati vegetarian guy, although I fall in love with Bengali food, since I have watched your videos.
Your cooking videos and explanations to every minute details are as beautiful as you are.
Never seen a fish being filleted before! The last bit, when he cuts perfect rectangles on the diagonal, and semi-butterflies the last slice was choreography! And what flourish too. Even when you use the bench scraper to reshape the fillets, also spoke to the level of detail and perfection of this video. Must have been a lot of work, but one of your best! Love it. Happy feasting!
Thank you. Agreed, the butterflying technique will take years of practice to get right. He also had a very interesting technique of removing the bloodline. Super cool person and clearly someone who takes pride in his craft.
@@BongEats Supercool applies to both of you too. Really.
What is cabin salad?
Atanuda seems to be a perfectionist just like both of you. 👍🏽❤️
beautiful presentation including shopping and d whole process of making fish fry....your presentation is unparallell 💕💕
It's in times like this that i miss my hometown of Kolkata. For me this becomes more than just a video of Fish fry, it gives me the nostalgic vibes of being a young kid who use to run around along with my sister to the kitchen and wait impatiently for our grandmother (now deceased) who used to prepare this for us during the first Sunday of every month.
How time flies....
Just want to say that the filming of this video is really good and unique compared to most that are also online. To even show the fish market along with the amazing knife skills of Mr. Gurey was a great move for giving credit where it is due. Not all fish mongers fillet the fish on a normal basis, so hopefully we see a gradual change in ideas. This really stood out for me.
Overall a nice video with a touch of nostalgia that will be understood by every Bengali who is living out of their hometown.
I love the sound of cutting vegetables and so much intricate details of cooking. It gives me feeling of watching my Maa cooking for us(with lots of love and care).
Atanu Gurey stole the show here. His precision had so much of love infused along. And Bachhu da too, a pure technician there.
Will be in Calcutta for Pujo this year.Thank you for this recipe love u guys 😘😘😘
*NO OTHER TH-cam CHANNEL* represents bengali cuisine the way this one does.. Immense love
Insiya and saptarshi im so proud of you both. The amount of recognition given to every intricate detail of the entire recipe is insane. Cant name another channel that does it so well. Lots of love to you! ❤️
Absolutely true....depends on fish quality....loving it!!🧡🧡
Loved your bajar tour. 😍😍 Atanu Gurey is an artist. Ki darun fillet korlen. Darun darun. Kokhono dekhini
This level of quality surpasses even bigger TH-cam channels.
We bengali know ... How to cook ... Amd how to Eat .... ❣️ proud bangali ... Proud indian
I have never seen a cooking chanel to be so much dedicated...No comparison for their outstanding level of hardwork,cooking,editing,shooting. Everything is like a movie...total blessing to the eyes. You deserve 5 million subscribers and even more.You are even far better than nisha madhulika

What a beautiful tale of food, without a word being spoken ❤️
Wide smile on my face the entire time I watched the video. Their videos are so wholesome ❤️
The crispy sound of cutting the fish fry was killer. ❤️ the way you guys prepare the delicacies
Insiya and Saptarshi : I’ve loved this channel ever since I first discovered it. The recipes are not only meticulous, but these additions of sourcing, interactions with vendors and showing all the process involved in the making of the dish brings these recipes to a whole new level of sublimity. You carry the essence and flavour of Bengal perfect to the T. A big fan.
Never seen such beautiful fillets. And the recipe is mouth watering
Behtereen andaz hai aapka.. inshallah i will try this recipe
Watching your videos makes me wanna visit Kolkata so much!
I'm literally craving right now after watching this video. The background music is so soothing.. Love it ❤️
It was the first dish I fell in love with after shifting to Kolkata. It’s just amazing but I thought its one hell of a hard work n precision to be able to be recreated in the kitchen. Thanks a ton

Thank you for showcasing the wonderful cuisine of Bengal!
You guys deserve an oscar for the recipe. 👏👏👏👏👏 every recipe is a masterpiece. I can just imagine 2 cutlets and a chilleddddd beer 😍
I tried this out and it was a grand success! Made fish fries for my dad's birthday and he LOVED them. Thank you for this wonderful (and detailed!) recipe.☺️☺️
The sound of chopping veggies is so refreshing and calming..
