Panta ilish is a dish from Bangladesh that combines a bowl of panta bhat—cooked and soaked rice—with fried ilish fish. The combination is traditionally enjoyed in urban areas, and it has become a staple dish served on the Pahela Baishakh, a national holiday celebrating the first day of the Bengali calendar. The fish is usually generously seasoned with turmeric, chili powder or other spices, and the dish is typically topped with fresh chili peppers, onions, and bhorta—traditional vegetable or fish mash that is usually served as a side dish.
