Ghatkol Pata Diye Ilish Macher Matha/ Hilsa fish head with Ghatkol/kharkol leaves is one of my favorite and palatable Hilsa dishes. Hilsa fish head is such a type of ingredient, that you can prepare any type of delectable dish like ilish macher matha diye muger dal, pui shak, chal kumro, kochur shak etc.

Whenever we prepared any type of hilsa dish, we are not preferring to add the fish head to that dish, we kept the head for another recipe, as I mentioned above.
In this recipe ghatkol/kharkol leaves are blended to make a paste and cook with fried hilsa fish head, tempered with nigella seeds and green chili.
