Chhyachra-machh'er matha diye pui chorchori-Bengali malabar spinach medley with fish head

Chhyachra (ছ্যাঁচড়া) is a form of pui chorchori (a mishmash/medley) made with fresh fish head-in this case head of katla (a large carp). Chhyachra (or chhachra) is a much loved special recipe for Bengalis. If you are trying to find it outside Bengal, pui leaves are often sold as Malabar spinach. It has a slightly slimy texture and a beautiful grassy flavour. Lots of other vegetables such as sweet potato, ripe pumpkin, potato and brinjal go into this dish. Another optional, but highly recommended addition is the kathal (jackfruit) seeds. They are starchy, sweet to taste and add a nutty flavour to the dish. Of course, the star of this dish is the fish head (machher matha). We don't recommend using frozen or stale fish head for this. If possible, get the head of a live fish from the market. That will give it the best flavour minus any nasty odours.

আমার খুবই প্রিয় একটা রেসিপি.. বাড়িতে বানালে তো ভালো লাগেই, আর বিয়ের বাড়ির দুপুরের স্পেশাল মেনু হিসাবে থাকলে পুরো জমে যায়..

[@preet2692]

I'm vegetarian but I enjoy watching all your videos alike. Top notch quality. I must also give a shout out to the cultural experience that you offer to non Bengalis through all your hard work. Well done, Team Bong Eats. 🤗

[@pd947]

This is a pure delight if you like Bengali recipes! If you are veg skip the fish head it will taste just as good

[@LetsDribble]

I prefer ilish macher matha in this chachra!! This matha is reserved always for muri ghonto ...Regardless, love it 🧡

[@dev5922]

Being an Oriya ,I can relate to almost all the dishes because as u know , there is so much common in between , the language ,the people and the cuisine. And kudos to ur team for making such a traditional dish in authentic way as it is. After seeing ur rice plating in the end, Forget US or Switzerland , Heaven is here,😋
