Muri Ghonto | Bengali Fish Head and Rice Mishmash Muro Ghonto Recipe

Muri Ghonto is one of the signature dishes from the Bengali Cuisine. We cook it with Rice and Fishhead (mostly Rehu Fish/ Rui Mach or Katla fish). Muri stands for Head. We mostly savor it with plain rice. Ghonto is a mushy sidedish. Both Niramis aka veg Ghonto as well as Aamish aka Non-veg ghonto are popular. Muri Ghonto needless to say is a non-veg ghonto. This end product is actually a great amalgamation of fish head, rice, and potato chunks. We call this Muro Ghonto as well.
