It is a traditional, artisanal Bengali delicacy made by lightly drying small freshwater fish (usually Puti fish) and then fermenting them naturally inside tightly sealed earthen pots for several months. This ancient preservation method breaks down the fish, giving it a soft texture and its signature strong, pungent aroma.
Because Chepa Shutki is naturally soft and fermented, it must be handled gently. Soak the fish in warm water for about 10 to 15 minutes to soften it further. Carefully rub off any remaining scales, gently pinch away the head and intestines, and then rinse it thoroughly under running water until completely clean.
Chepa Shutkir Bhorta is the absolute undisputed favorite! Pan-roast the cleaned fish in a little oil along with a massive amount of peeled garlic cloves, sliced onions, and fiery dry red chilies. Once everything is charred, aromatic, and cooked through, mash it all together (traditionally on a shil pata or in a food processor) with a generous drizzle of raw mustard oil.
We completely understand that Chepa Shutki has a very powerful, distinct aroma! When you order from Gunma Halal Food, we ensure it is securely and tightly double-sealed to fully contain the smell during transit, guaranteeing it arrives safely and discreetly at your doorstep anywhere in Japan.
