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.

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!

[@jignimishra7570]

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!

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

@@jignimishra7570 oh wonderful..

[@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 😅

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

[@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. ❤️

[@isourav13]

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

[@sreeparnadatta314]

Delighted to see this recipe early in the morning 😇. Love from California

[@kolkow1495]

Beautiful ❤️.. ভীষণ প্রিয় রেসিপি.. আবার কনসেপ্ট এর originality মুগ্ধ করলো। অনেক শুভেচ্ছা ও ভালোবাসা তোমাদের।❤️

[@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..

[@MohamedIsmail-oj4jp]

Story of how Amateur KZbinrs became a top class film makers...

[@sanchitacuisineandtravelvl5068]

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

[@shar7622]

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

[@shawanaazad1194]

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

[@roynilanjana]

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

[@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.

[@gilliandidierserre4190]

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

[@moumitadey1014]

This must have made so many homesick

[@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!

[@VinodKumar-xb5ud]

Amazing concept ! Highly appreciated

[@uploadtvsd]

Awesome presentation 👏

[@kekacrabby]

loving this series!

[@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

[@saritasymphonyofficial7063]

really like the videography

[@sayantanibhattacharya792]

Lovely to see the magic ❤️

[@indranilbhattacharya6235]

Trincas is nostalgia Single malt whisky, garlic chicken fry and Anjan Dutta.....

[@blazingglory5543]

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.

[@civilju]

Nice video and beautiful take on the vlog aspect of the video. The recipe link in the description for Bong Eats website is not working though. Please check.

Awesome!!! Now give us the recipe/ link for the stock powder. Thanks in advance.

[@BongEats]

You can buy it from New Market.

[@suvramazumder2893]

​@@BongEatsis it a veg stock powder or the chicken one ?

[@Dona_K]

Nice video, but how can the staff let you in if this video is not sponsored 🙂

[@BongEats]

“This video has not been sponsored by Trincas”-this means that Trincas did not commission these videos or pay us any money, or give us the food for free. They also did not have any say over what was shown in the video, or get to see the videos before they were published to the public. They did give us access to their kitchen to film the video, of course. This wasn’t a sting operation.

[@sutapabanerjee2294]

DID SHEFALI OF PRATIDWANDI FAME DANCE ON THE FLOOR HERE?BESIDES THE BRITINDIAN/INDO-CHINESE CUISINE A FLOORSHOW REALLY CLINCHES THE DEAL,PRICES BEING JUSTIFIABLY ON THE HIGHER SIDE!!!😀😀😂😂❤️❤️🙏👍👍👍

[@getkoushik]

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