This dish is one of the many dishes that features in the ‘to-eat’ list that Prerna Baruah shares with her mom before her yearly visit to Assam. This recipe brings back childhood memories when she & her sister would take turns to eat the fish head. It tastes divine when slow cooked with yellow split mung beans and warm spices. This is her mother’s recipe.
