Parshe Fish or Small Mullet fishes are one of the fresh river water fish that are enjoyed by most Bengali’s. It can be prepared by many ways but I would like to share an uncommon way to cook where TW distinctive features makes it different – no use of water in the preparation and the mustard seeds are roasted for tempering rather than seeds being put in piping hot oil.
