Kolkata/NITN: Bengalis' popular fish Hilsa was on the plate of all guests at an Ilish Utsav (Hilsa festival) organised by Indian and Continental food suppliers Spice and Sauces at PC Chandra Gardens in Kolkata Sunday afternoon.
On completion of its 20 years, Spice and Sauces organised a cookery competition in the festival where talented chefs from Bengal took part.
The participants cooked tasty and mouth watering recipes of Ilish.
Madhumita Mohanty, executive chef of The Lalit Great Eastern and and director Supriyo Bedajna of Rannaghar, were the judges of the event.
Popular Bengali singer Sidhu, who was accompanied by Saptak Sanai and others, mesmerised the event with his performance.
