Fish Pie

This Fish Pie is one of those Pies I made for Anandabazar Patrika in the month of December ’17. I’ve done this many times and got happy feedback always from the table. I like to make this Pie with Bhetki/Barramundi fish fillet especially because it tastes best particularly with Bhetki. I hope you’ll enjoy making it by following this easy recipe. 🙂
