Hunar SetuHunar Setu is a social initiative that connects skilled artisans and craftsmen with buyers, businesses, and communities that value their work. India’s artisans carry centuries of tradition, culture, and craftsmanship, but many of them struggle to access markets, technology, and fair opportunities. Hunar Setu was created to bridge this gap.https://www.hunarsetu.com/s/62ea2c599d1398fa16dbae0a/676523772eb3cf19c22b9674/hunarsetu1-logo-1--480x480.png

Preservation Method: The fish, which can be whole or split, is liberally salted and then sun-dried or air-dried on racks or mats for several days, depending on the type and size. In some cases, a fermentation process also occurs, as with "sidol" in North Bengal.
Aroma and Flavor: The most notable characteristic is its strong, distinct smell, which many find unappealing, but those who grew up with it often consider a delicacy. The flavor profile is generally intense, salty, and savory, often cooked with strong spices like mustard oil, garlic, and chilies to balance the taste.
Nutritional Value: Dried fish is a rich source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, iron, and various vitamins and minerals.
Culinary Uses: It is typically soaked in hot water to soften before cooking. Common preparations include:
Curries and stews, often with vegetables like eggplant and potatoes.
Bharta or "bata," a mash/chutney-like paste made with onions, garlic, and chilies, served with hot rice.
