Misti Churi Shutki ₹110/gm

Misti Churi Shutki (মিষ্টি ছুরি শুটকি) refers to a variety of dried ribbonfish (Churi fish), a popular marine delicacy in Bengali cuisine.

• What it is: “Churi” (ribbonfish) gets its name from its long, narrow, blade-like shape. The “Misti” designation typically describes a specific variety, grade, or milder/sweeter natural flavor profile of the fish compared to other pungent dried varieties.

• Characteristics: It has a firm texture, a concentrated savory aroma, and is traditionally sun-dried naturally without chemical treatments.

• Culinary Use: It is a prized ingredient used to make robust, spicy dishes like shutki bhuna (thick-gravy stir-fries with garlic, onions, and chili) or rich mashes (vorta), often served alongside steaming hot rice or panta bhat.
