A Royal Treat Awaits: Relish Authentic Ilish Polao at Sundarban Hilsa Festival 2025 by Sonakshi Travels

If you are a true Bengali food lover, there is one dish that undoubtedly reigns supreme – Ilish Polao. A luxurious combination of fragrant rice, succulent Hilsa fish, and aromatic spices, Ilish Polao is much more than a meal – it is a celebration of Bengal’s culinary heritage.
At the much-awaited Sundarban Hilsa Festival 2025, organized exclusively by Sonakshi Travels, guests will be treated to the authentic taste of this iconic delicacy amidst the mesmerizing natural beauty of the Sundarbans.

The Legacy of Ilish Polao: A Culinary Gem

Hilsa, fondly known as ‘Ilish’ in Bengali, is not just a fish – it is an emotion. Revered as the ‘King of Fish’ across Eastern India and Bangladesh, Hilsa holds a special place in every Bengali heart. Traditionally, Hilsa is celebrated in many ways – fried, steamed, curried – but the grandeur of Ilish Polao surpasses them all.

Unlike other fish dishes, Ilish Polao is a delicate symphony where the buttery soft texture of Hilsa harmonizes with long-grained basmati rice, enriched with golden fried onions, ghee, and whole aromatic spices like cloves, cardamom, and cinnamon.
Every bite melts in your mouth, releasing a cascade of flavors – rich, subtle, and utterly unforgettable.

At the Sundarban Hilsa Festival 2025, we aim to present this dish in its most authentic form, prepared by expert chefs who understand the traditional methods handed down over generations.
