This fish is known by different names and spellings. In West Bengal and Bangladesh, it is called as Loitta or Loitya, in Mumbai it is known as Bombil or Bombay Duck, in Kerala it is called Bummili and Ushnish in Chinese. Dried in the controlled environment of our own greenhouse to prevent all harmful bacteria attack. Loitta or huni shutki as they call it in Chittagong or Chattogram is one of the most daring dishes I have ever tasted.

Instructions to make Loitta (Bangladesh):
  1. In a wok, boil the fish in some water till it cooks. Strain and separate all flesh and discard the bones.
  2. In the same wok, heat mustard oil till it smokes and then add sugar till it caramelizes. Add onion, garlic, turmeric powder, red chilli paste, salt. Keep stiring till the onion and garlic turns brown imparting a string roasted flavour.
  3. Add the fish flesh and keep folding till the onion garlic paste mix well.
  4. Fish will expell out lots if water so keep cooking on medium to low flame till all the excess water evaporates and fish stops sticking to the vessel and oil seperates a bit.
  5. Add the mustard-chilli paste and cook carefully else it may turn the dish bitter. Check seasoning and add as required. Cook till the raw flavour of mustard vanishes and a strong Aroma imparts.
  6. Serve medium hot with steamed rice. The dish looks very simple but a major delight to the localites of coasts after a hectic day at work. Happy Eating!!!
  7. Special Note: Bombay Duck is very high in organic Phosphorus and is famed to give strength to eyes.

The pungent smell and the rich and spicy gravy makes this typical Bengali fish preparation for all food connoisseurs. Like you can add pumpkin, raddish, sheem /flat beans or eggplant/brinjal, etc and add either some chingri shutki or loitta shutki, it would taste absolutely delicious. One popular fish that too hails from Bangladesh is the Churi maach and it's Shutki version commonly available in the market as Churi Shukti. Heat oil in a deep Kadhai or wok. When the mustard oil is very hot, reduce the flame to a medium and add the garlic.
