Bhetki Bharta

Bhartas are largely North Indian in origin. The word 'Bharta' refers to dishes in which the ingredients are roughly mashed either before or after the dish is prepared. Bhartas are made from all sorts of vegetables and non veg also. Baingan Bharta is just one of the several versions of Eggplant Bharta there are in Indian cooking. But my experiment with Bhetki fish I think the recipe name should be “Bhetki Bharta”. This is simple and I used only basic ingredient. This racipe is so easy to make and healthy also. Let me know how it is.

Okay! before we jump on the procedure let me tell you some benefits of the Bhetki Fish.

This is a healthy, low cal fish dish that can be useful for women. The yogurt used in the recipe is not altered in any way by heat or processing and can help your body to get an adequate amount of calcium that is so essential for women. The sour lemon juice also contains Vitamin D apart from Vitamin C which helps in the absorption of calcium. Furthermore, bhetki fish is a rich source of Omega 3 fatty acids making it extremely beneficial for health. The cooking method used here helps in keeping the nutrients intact yet manages to make the dish tasty as well.

Calcutta Betaki is the local name to the Asian Sea Bass, or the Barramundi Fish that is found in Calcutta. Due to a different habitat, it gets a distinct flavor. It has a moist, soft, buttery, and sweet flavor to it. Its white meat is light, delicious, and flaky. The fish is low on mercury and high on Omega-3, and is thus a healthy choice. We ensure that the fish is locked in such a way that the natural flavor is maintained along with its good quality. The whole Calcutta Betaki is famous in West Bengal, and is a major part of Bengali Cuisines.

The local Barramundi fish of Mumbai is known as the Bombay Betaki. It’s also known by the name of Asian Sea Bass. The fish has a sweet, moist, delicate, and buttery flavor which is as good as the Dover Sole, Red Snapper, Sea Bass, and various others. The whole fish is packed under the supervision of our experts, hence ensuring the quality of the fish and locking in the natural freshness and flavor into the box. It largely compliments Southern Indian Recipes
