Hilsa Fish - 4 pieces
Coconut Milk - 1 cup
Green Chili Paste - 1 tbsp

Process for making Dudhia Ilish

1. Heat oil in a Pan. Add Poppy seed paste to hot oil. Stir for 2-3 minutes.
2. Add water and then half of the coconut milk. Stir well. (At this stage I added turmeric powder)
3. Add salt, sugar, chili paste and then fish pieces.
4. Once it starts boiling, add grated coconut. Let it be boiled.
5. Meanwhile add rest of the coconut milk. Boil for 2-3 minutes. Take it out from the oven.

You can have Coconut Hilsa with hot rice.
