Maachher Dimer Bora (Fish Roe Fritters) is a unique and a much loved dish by all Bongs across the globe... the crispy crunchy fish roe fritters are savoured also in a curry and this being the appropriate season for the availability of fish eggs you can use them according to your discretion the way you want to have it. It tastes just as fantastic every time. I've tried maacher dimer borar dalna for the first time and was ecstatic with the outstanding taste. Each one of us polished off a plateful of rice with only this delightful preparation and absolutely nothing else was required to supplement it. A fully satisfying whole meal it was. It's amazing how enriched Bengali cuisine is with so many variations to offer for a single dish....so enjoy my experiment with Maacher Dimer Bora ( fish roe fritters).....
