Description
Different Names and Habitat in India:
- Different Names: Tengra is known as "Tangra" in Bengali, "Tengri" in Assamese, and "Tenga" in Hindi.
- Habitat: Tengra is commonly found in freshwater bodies, particularly in rivers, streams, and wetlands across India. It is most abundant in the Ganges River and its tributaries, preferring clean, slow-moving waters with sandy or muddy bottoms. Tengra is known for its resilience and can survive in low-oxygen environments.
Benefits of Eating:
- High in Protein: Tengra is an excellent source of protein, essential for muscle growth, repair, and overall body functions.
- Rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Like other freshwater fish, Tengra contains omega-3 fatty acids, which support cardiovascular health, improve brain function, and reduce inflammation.
- Vitamins and Minerals: Tengra offers vital nutrients such as vitamin B12, vitamin D, iron, and phosphorus, all contributing to the body’s metabolic and immune functions.
- Low in Calories: Tengra is a low-calorie fish, making it an ideal option for those who are health-conscious or seeking to maintain a balanced weight.
Methods of Cooking Tengra Whole Cleaned:
- Curry Preparation: Tengra is ideal for traditional curries, where the fish is simmered with spices, herbs, and sometimes mustard or coconut-based gravies, common in Bengali cuisine.
- Pan-Frying: When pan-fried, Tengra develops a crispy outer layer while retaining a tender, juicy interior, perfect for quick meals or side dishes.
- Steaming: Steaming Tengra helps preserve its delicate texture and enhances its natural flavors. It’s a popular method for those seeking a low-fat, nutritious meal.
- Grilling: Grilling the cleaned Tengra over charcoal or in an oven imparts a smoky flavor while keeping the fish moist. This method is best when marinated with spices beforehand.
