The head-on Bengali cut is a good choice for traditional fish dishes where different parts of the fish are used together. Catla pieces can be seasoned with turmeric and salt, lightly fried, and then added to a spiced gravy. The head can be incorporated into traditional curry preparations according to regional cooking styles. Pair the finished dish with steamed rice, dal, vegetables, or other home-style accompaniments. This cut is particularly useful for households that prefer the traditional head-on format when preparing Catla.
