At the Pohela Boishakh Festival, practically every Bangladeshi consumes Panta Ilish, a traditional dish (the first day of Bangla year). It is Bangladesh's most popular dish. This meal is one of our favorites since it is a wonderful representation and celebration of our culture and history.

It's a platter of soaked leftover rice topped with fried hilsa, achar, and dal. On the morning of Pohela Boishakh, people eat Panta Ilish and then participate in cultural programs. The salty and chili flavors combine in the tasty, crunchy, and delicious hilsa fish served with water-soaked cold rice and spicy bharta. After the first bite, you'll be hooked. Another fish, American shad, has a similar flavor to hilsa, so you can buy it and enjoy some Bengali delight.
