Ilish Paturi (Mustard-Marinated Fish in Banana Leaf)
A Bengali dish and one of Bangladesh's national dishes: fish in ground mustard, wrapped in banana leaf and steamed. Mustard's pungency forms only when the seed's cells break in water, then evaporates and dies with heat. So the paste is ground with cold water, used within ten minutes and sealed in a leaf.
