Chilli Fish Recipe: Inside Trincas, Kolkata's Kitchen

Welcome to a new series on our channel, where we go behind the scenes at restaurants that fascinate us, to learn what goes into bringing us the lovely meals and happy times we enjoy when we eat out. This is the part II, featuring chilli fish, from Ming Room, Trincas Kolkata's Chinese dining room, which opened its doors to the public in 1982.
In this video, the Trincas chefs take us through the process of slicing fresh bhetki fillets to produce even pieces of fish; preparing one of the most crucial components in all Chinese cooking, the stock; prepping the vegetables for even cooking and texture; and finally, frying the fish and finishing it in sauce for a customer order.
This episode is not sponsored by Trincas but was made possible with the support of their incredible staff. Special thanks also to Willie Walter's Quartet for the music, recorded live at Trincas on 11 December 2021.

Such a big coincidence! Getting update of this episode exactly while on my quest to eating Chilli Fish at CR Park, New Delhi. 😂❤ Could it have gotten any better! Thank you, Team Bong Eats!

[@rupamd435]

Same here ....

@Devika Bhattacharya I love cr park we can have contact me

[@grihobodhurrojnamcha9637]

@@jignimishra7570 oh wonderful..

[@flgnsngh]

Not just recipe, but i learn so much from 1 video, that oil and boiling point, running water, work cleaning, oil in batter, breath of wok ❤️👍. Taking notes.

[@nilanjansarkar100]

Food aside,Trincas has some of the best staff in Kolkata!

[@modmissy7622]

This looks incredibly scrumptious! Let me also compliment the way the video has been shot. Some of the snippets look like they were shot in a different era... A 70s vibe. In fact the restaurant itself has a 70s feel. Love it. 💕

[@riturajhalder6665]

This is the best publicity Trinca's has ever got! Keep up the good work!

[@piuchakrabortty4950]

Not that they need one 😅

[@majolicadas8315]

I am wondering to open a food channel guys, your channel is my inspiration as always for so long and on. This is not only a food channel for me it's kind of therapy for me..i wanted to share so many things but i know it would going to be a long paragraph, i just couldn't find out where to start and where to stop. But last but not the least i am always a foody and a cook since from my teenage but from your video making it push me to do it in such a way. it's not just a cooking it's a art ..i will give a tribute bong eats on my first video for sure ❤️❤️

[@hassanhussain3033]

Amazing cinematography and production. What a place, and what an ambience. And you captured it perfectly. Once again you've outdone yourselves. Love from the Maldives. ❤️

[@SaffronTrailKitchen]

Fabulous music and I can only imagine how tough it would have been to shoot near that insanely hot wok - great video!

[@chirume22]

Netflix should create a cooking show and you guys should be there..production quality is just next level..

[@sanchitacuisineandtravelvl5068]

Wow! Cooking is indeed a beautiful art! Does anybody realize so much goes into preparing one dish? It's a beauty. Lovely video.

[@isourav13]

The music was the icing on the cake, or I’d say, the pepper on the chilli fish.

[@roynilanjana]

Mouth watering deliciousness ! Chilly fish with fried rice! It's a savoury delite identified with Kolkata!

পেঁয়াজ-ক্যাপসিকাম এইভাবে প্রথমে স্যতে করে নিলে একটা চমৎকার ফ্লেভার আসে,যেটা রান্নার শেষে কাঁচা যোগ করলে হয়না।লোভনীয় রেসিপি!!

[@shawanaazad1194]

this series of episodes is the most smoothing thing to watch. love from Bangladesh

[@gilliandidierserre4190]

A wonderful episode left Kolkatta in 1967 I live in Toronto Canada great to see Trincas still there thank you BONG EATS🙏

[@nandanadasgupta3065]

After watching the Vlog of Chicken Al A Kiev and Chilly Fish of Trincas I could not resist and decided to go down to Kolkata just to have it. And these dishes made their way to my heart! Absolutely delicious! Thanks for recommending them. I took my friends too and said " @Bong Eats suggested and I'm sure it will be worth it. " And after the food they thanked me for taking them there. We also tried the Lamb Lasagna which was eqaully fantastic. Being a food lover the 3 hours bus journey from Durgapur to Kolkata on the weekend was worth it for all these foods! 😊😍 P.S - The ambience was so lovely with the songs and dim lights! Just perfect setting for any food lovers.

[@shar7622]

Top notch production.. sound/editing/color is simply superb.

[@Ekta-01]

HIGHLY recommend this. We made it three weekends in a row. So delicious. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

[@nurjahansadia6077]

You guys are next to amazing 😍

[@navanitaroy4685]

This looks amazingly scrumptious!! Thank you for posting! Amazing videography too! Now if someone can help me with my forever quest of getting the recipe for Trinca style Chinese Chopsuey (Chicken) - and I mean Chinese Chopsuey - the white one and NOT the red one ie American Chopsuey. Would be ever so grateful for a recipe. Have tried experimenting at home several times but have never been able to get it spot on. So any help would be appreciated. Many thanks!

[@navanitaroy4685]

PS - all the recipes posted and shown online are just not right. Either too watery sauce or different veggies or just taste different - and nothing like Trincas. Hence the despair and the request for some insight! Thanks!

[@rakeshroyliving]

Watched this video several times..one thing that stuck me today that in your final seasoning list salt is missing. Is it a glitch or the soya sauce is compensating the former. Please clarify. Thank you. Admirer

[@twisampatichakraborty8627]

Do you guys add your own music, all the time I have been to trincas, the band which sings, makes a cacophony rather than music.

[@numitatamang4345]

Wow superb ❤️

[@shelveswithstories13]

Loving this

[@seemaprasad6677]

Does the stock powder have ajino moto?

[@getkoushik]

Just want to clarify 1 point: The slurry uses corn starch or flour? Generally starch gives us a better result I guess.

[@khyaddoroshik]

What is this stock powder all about in every dish? and where do I get it from?

[@samratbhanja8238]
