Earlier I used to eat Shutki (dry fish) of Lote which was very popular with east bengal people.Shutki was quite popular with bengalis but now fresh lote fish has become equally popular.Nowardays quite often I make this jhuri (in mashed form).Easy to meake,very few ingredients needed and very very delicious with hot steamed rice.
