Fish Kabiraji
For all the residents of Kolkata, Fish Kabiraji Cutlet will always have a special place in their hearts. This recipe dates back to the British era when Kolkata used to be the Winter Capital of India. Getting an idea from the British iconic fish and chips, Bengalis worked to innovate and prepare a recipe just like theirs- known to be the coverage cutlet recipe.
Whenever we talk about this special fish recipe, Mitra Cafe is the first location in Kolkata that hits our minds when we talk about fish kabiraji. Other than this iconic location, this dish is also famous in college canteens, fast-food stalls and even during weddings and festivals. Now you can experience the same Mitra Cafe style Fish Kabiraji at your home with the recipe using the right ingredients.
