About Fish egg bhujia

Fish Egg Bhujia is a savory dish rooted in South Asian cuisine, particularly popular in Bengali households. Made from fish roe, the dish features eggs from various fish such as hilsa or carp, which are seasoned and mixed with spices like turmeric, chili powder, and garlic before being shallow-fried to a crispy texture. The result is a flavorful, protein-rich side or snack. Fish roe is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, essential for brain and heart health, as well as vitamins like D and B12. However, the cooking process often involves frying, which adds extra fat and calories, making moderation key. Typically paired with steamed rice, this dish blends health benefits with indulgent richness, offering a unique culinary experience steeped in tradition and nutrition.
