"FISH FOLDER".. my signature dish for RPlus channel

Last month I had the opportunity to share one of my special signature recipes with eminent singer and host Parama Banerjee in her well known cookery show" R-O RANNAGHOR" in  a widely popular Bengali TV channel RPlus. I was invited by RPlus channel to share an exotic and innovative Fish Recipe. It   was a nice experience to cook and spend an hour with one of my favourite vocalists Parama. I got nice gifts from the sponsors and was delighted by the cordial behaviour of RPlus channel.
