Chapa shutki bhorta is made from chapa fish -- a variety known for its strong, pungent aroma and bold flavour that experienced shutki lovers seek out. The chapa fish is dried until intensely concentrated, then mashed with mustard oil, green chillies, onion, and garlic into a fiery, aromatic fish paste. This Mughal frozen shutki bhorta is ready to defrost and serve, delivering full-strength shutki flavour without any preparation.

Mughal produces this bhorta using traditional methods that preserve the authentic character of chapa shutki -- there is no toning down the pungency here. This is shutki bhorta for people who grew up with the aroma in their kitchen. Hills Harvest delivers it as part of our Bengali food and bangladeshi grocery online range for western Sydney.
