Steaming Tradition: Relish the Authentic Taste of Ilish Vapa at Sundarban Hilsa Festival 2025 with Sonakshi Travels

When it comes to Bengali cuisine, Hilsa fish, or Ilish, holds an unrivaled position of pride and tradition. Among its many celebrated preparations, Ilish Vapa (Steamed Hilsa) is considered a masterpiece of delicate flavors, aroma, and nutritional richness.

At the upcoming Sundarban Hilsa Festival 2025, organized by Sonakshi Travels, food lovers and cultural enthusiasts will have the special opportunity to savor the legendary taste of Ilish Vapa right in the heart of the Sundarbans. This event is not just a culinary celebration—it is a tribute to Bengal’s heritage, love for Ilish, and the unique traditions that have been cherished for generations.

What is Ilish Vapa?

Ilish Vapa refers to Hilsa fish fillets steamed gently with mustard paste, green chilies, a touch of turmeric, and a drizzle of mustard oil. Unlike frying or heavy currying, steaming preserves the natural, buttery flavor of fresh Hilsa, making it a light yet luxurious delicacy. The steaming technique locks in moisture and intensifies the aroma, resulting in a melt-in-the-mouth experience.

The beauty of Ilish Vapa lies in its simplicity—minimal spices, maximum flavor.

At the Sundarban Hilsa Festival 2025, we ensure that every serving of Ilish Vapa is prepared traditionally, using freshly caught Hilsa from the rivers of the Sundarbans. Our expert chefs will use age-old recipes, maintaining authenticity while delivering an unforgettable culinary delight.
