Description
A gourmet collection of all-color handbook, offering mouth-watering delicacies. The step by step instructions make the recipes easy to follow.
Bengali cuisine is a combination of vegetarian and non-vegetarian food. Bengalis are on the whole an infectiously passionate lot and few things unite them more than their common passion for food especially for fish. No meal is considered complete without it. Mustard oil, tempered with the five popularly used condiments (Panch Phoran) and the unique combination of fish cooked in yogurt gives a distinct flavor to Bengali cuisine.
However Westernized, a Bengali would never give up his language; neither would he give up his Bengali food nor his passion for fish, rice and sweets. Most Bengalis do not touch salt-water fish complaining that it lacks sweetness.
Bengali cooking brings a special art to the kitchen that is rare in any other form of regional cuisine and demands a little more care. Crisp, tangy, nutritious, spicy and wholesome-take 100 gm of adventurous spirit, deep fry in 10 tbsp of enthusiasm, season with a pinch of experimentation and create your own Bengali gourmet delight!
