Panta Ilish
This is a traditional New Year Bengali dish. Panta is a word that indicates soaked. This dish is prepared using Panta Bhat - leftover rice that is soaked in water. To be very precise, it is a platter of Panta Bhat served along with fried Hilsa fish, dried Shukti fish, achars, onions, and green chilies. Even though deep-fried fish is the tradition, if you are a health freak, then you can opt to grill the Hilsa.
