Panta Bhat with Ilish
Panta Bhat, a traditional fermented rice dish, is often considered the national dish of Bangladesh when paired with Ilish (Hilsa fish). It's a cooling and probiotic-rich meal, typically enjoyed on hot days or during celebrations like Pahela Baishakh. The fermented rice has a slightly sour taste, complemented by the rich flavor of fried Ilish.
