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.
