Savor the Authentic Flavors of “Doi Ilish” at Sundarban Hilsa Festival 2025 with Sonakshi Travels
When it comes to Bengali cuisine, few dishes can rival the sheer elegance and flavor of Doi Ilish. As part of the grand culinary showcase at the Sundarban Hilsa Festival 2025, Sonakshi Travels invites you to indulge in this exquisite preparation, where the world-famous Hilsa fish is celebrated in its most creamy, flavorful avatar.
This year’s Sundarban Hilsa Festival promises not just mesmerizing natural beauty, boat rides through enchanting mangrove forests, and cozy riverside stays — but also a gastronomical journey that highlights Bengal’s cultural pride: the Hilsa fish (Ilish maachh).
What is Doi Ilish?
Doi Ilish is a traditional Bengali dish where succulent pieces of Hilsa fish are gently cooked in a luscious, mildly spiced yogurt-based gravy. The name itself comes from two essential ingredients:
-
Doi (curd/yogurt)
-
Ilish (Hilsa fish)
The fish, prized for its silken texture and rich flavor, is marinated and then delicately cooked with a light blend of mustard oil, green chilies, and aromatic spices. The addition of creamy curd gives the gravy a luxurious texture and a subtle tanginess that complements the richness of Hilsa beautifully.
It is not just a dish — Doi Ilish is an experience that speaks of Bengal’s love for its rivers and culinary artistry.
