Going to curry them with chicken later this evening.

^^ Chick + Eggplants != Deshi, must be West Indian style
I inherited 2 fruit trees (peach & pear) in my backyard from the previous owner. I don't take care of them. But the pear tree blossoms with hundreds each summer. And I don't like pears.
So, my mom is making all sort of things she can from these. Jam, Juice, Achar - you name it.

Absolutley, I don't think it's widespread West Indian... more of Trini+Guyanese
It's awesome man, especially with roti

My uncle visited is over the weekend and brought with him apricots.
So we're thinking of preserving them.
First time that we have seen this fruit, anyone with prior experience in preserving fruits can help.

I think you didn't eat beef cooked in bengali style... That pic is not bengali style too much dry, we cook with extra oil and onions..

Are you a spice-friendly cook?
How much heat is considered too spicy?

No, Hilsha has 3 different delicacies - first is fry fresh with very little turneric and red paper on a mild amount of oil, can munch on all day although having so much fishbones
Secondly the Dopeaji, a deeply fried pieces with a mix of fried onion in a densed thick gravy, goes well with large pieces of fried potato in the mix. Generally the back part of the fish is used we call the Gada side.
Thirdly, the curry, the gravy is not much dense, goes with all kinds of spices and herbs but strong corrriander, good to have some vegetables like potato or potol and use the middle part of the fish, we call Peti side.

Have u ever eaten Hilsa? If not I suggest you to try a takeout first from some bengali restaurant, if you like it then only go on to prepare it yourself. I am yet to find a single nonbengali who likes Hilsa, radically different from anything you have ever eaten so far, this fish is custom made by nature specifically to please bengalis lol.

Rohu is comparatively better for the standard curry.
For Hilsa I prefer it deep fried or with a korma esque mustard based sauce.
Unique recipes for hilsha are a special pilau or smoked

Like One World said, search for "shorshe Ilish (hilsa)" recipes. That's the best way/traditional way to eat Hilsa.
But if you haven't had Hilsa before, I should warn you there's lots and lots of little bones.

The most easiest dish to cook with Rohu....
Get steaks of Rohu and marinate for 30 minutes with the 4 spices (chilli, caradom, corraiander, turmeric) with some lemon juice.
Start frying some sliced onions (2) on medium heat for 5 minutes and add salt. Then just put the fish in. and fry it for 3/4 minutes on each side (this could depend on the size of the fish cut). For an extra kick when you add the fish add in some long green chillies halved long way. Make sure the onions dont burn and if necessary take them out.
garnish with fresh coriander leaves and the fried onions.
Best to have with rice and thick daal and fried egg plants

I am guessing that this fish has a mild flavor to it hence the accompanying potatoes in the second type of cookingyou mentioned.
Thanks. So the best way to go is frying chunks of the fish, the adding them to a curry later on.
