West Bengal cuisine is the only one in the Indian subcontinent that has a proper multi-course structure.It is the finest blends of\u00a0non vegetarian and vegetarian dishes. The essence of cooking a\u00a0Bengali meal\u00a0is delicately balanced between the main\u00a0ingredients\u00a0and its seasonings.The\u00a0rule of Nawabs<\/a>\u00a0has deeply influenced\u00a0Bengali food\u00a0which is a combination of subtle and fiery flavours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

West Bengal\u00a0is popularly known as the\u00a0land of Maach,\u00a0which means\u00a0fish\u00a0and Bhaat\u00a0means rice.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top 6 dishes every foodie must eat in West Bengal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are the top 6 foods<\/a> that you just cannot miss while exploring West Bengal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Luchi-Alur Dom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\"Luchi-Alur<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The dish has Luchi<\/em> that is similar to puris<\/em> and is eaten with alur dum<\/em> or aloo dom<\/em>, that is a spicier and more tangy version of the dum aloo<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Keemar Doi Bora\"Keemar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lovers of non-vegetarian food and dahi bada<\/em> will go gaga over this perfect marriage of minced meat and sweet and spicy curd. This is one of the less popular street foods of Bengal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Kathi Rolls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\"<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Thin rotis<\/em> wrapped around skewer-roasted succulent meat kebabs make for a beautiful dish that Bengalis take a lot of pride in. It will bombard you with flavors so subtle yet at the same time profoundly gripping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Jhal Muri<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\"<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We can call it the Bengali version of the bhel.<\/em> It\u2019s made from rice flakes (muri)<\/em> tossed with spicy chutney and mustard oil, along with roasted lentils and coconut chunks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Daab Chingri\"<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 It is a spicy and luscious lobster curry cooked and served inside a green coconut shell. To make this unique curry, spices are mixed with coconut water paste which gives it a unique flavour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Shorshe Ilish or Ilish Maach\"Shorshe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ilish Maach<\/em> or Shorshe Ilish<\/em> or Ilish Bhapa<\/em> is a delicious fish preparation made from deep-fried Hilsa fish. It\u2019s a classic Bengali fish curry and is served a side-dish with rice or Khichudi. <\/em>It\u2019s made in both dried and curried forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CONCLUSION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is much to explore in West Bengal, when it comes to food. From Mughlai foods<\/a><\/strong> to street foods<\/strong> and an elaborate spread of sweets and confectioneries, as well as the cuisine of the flourishing Anglo-Indian community in Kolkata, Bengali food is culturally vibrant and just simply delightful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bengali sweets need no introduction. They can make the most \u2018not-a-sweet-person\u2019 also drool and want to take just a bite of the rich sweets. So, don’t miss to try out these too!!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
