👩‍🍳 How to make Fish Pitika

Mash and season (5 mins, no heat): Debone fish carefully, then mash the flesh coarsely with your fingers or a fork. Mix in raw onion, green chillies, coriander, remaining mustard oil, and salt. The result should be a rough, textured mash fragrant with mustard oil.

📖 Cultural notes

Fish Pitika reflects Assam's status as a riverine civilization — the Brahmaputra and its tributaries yield abundant freshwater fish, making fish as fundamental to Assamese cuisine as rice itself. ---
