It is true. Bangla te khabrer ja versity aar kothao nei. Panch rakom bhaja, sukto, daler lots of varity, posto, etc. Chingri , ilisher preparation, misti to endless.
The above video is West Bengali thali. Foods like mishti polao are eaten Only by a small minority of total bengalis in the world. Bengali thali and food is found in Bangladesh 🇧🇩. Majority of Bengalis and pure bengali food is found in east bengal 🇧🇩
I don't think there is any other cuisine in the world, which can even come close to such delicacies, and they are absolutely delicious, sweets are just from heaven, miss u kolkata
@@LivingFoodz: I noticed you asked what "Paturi" is. It's an exact equivalent of the French 'En Papier'... But I suspect 'Paturi' predates it by quite a few centuries. It was originally made with 'Ilish' (Hilsha) fish. The Banana leaf is cleaned and then blanched or lightly roasted over a flame to make it flexible. All the ingredients with the marinated raw fish are added and tied securely. It can be dry roasted, steamed, or shallow fried at the final stage.
I'm bengali and since my great grandfather time we have a tali system. In that yes, each course is eaten separately, e.g. the bitter goud first, dal and vegetables next, fish next, then meat and sweets. It is rice served on tali and then each dish is served just like this in smaller bowls or dishes. It is just we don't eat in a mixed up order. There is a sequence. Tali is served in many hindu bengali homes in east and West Bengal and also is used when offering prasad to gods. The only ppl in Bengal I see not knowing tali system is either muslims and Christians or thoose who are economically not able to eat so many dishes and have always eaten more rice and less curries.
Bengali cuisine is best when you prepare it at home unlike North Indian dishes which people like having outside only, so they have gained more popularity. After having every cuisine of India I can confirm east Indian cuisine is far better than others
Good video and presentation sir, but one thing I should point out that there's no such thing as "Bengali Thali". Reason being, as you said a 'thali' typically means 'a platter of different dishes served together' but Bengali cuisine follows 'Service à la russe' which means 'courses are brought to the table sequentially, and the food gets portioned on the plate by the server before it is served to the diner'. So in Bengali cuisine you are not supposed to jump from one item to another and back during your meal but move on to the next item once you are done with the previous. The dishes are also put in order based on their flavours, the lighter one being the first and gradually increasing the intensity and complexity as you move towards the end. This is very much different from other Indian dining manners. Even in the video, they did put all different items together in a thali, but Mr Sengupta guided you through the meal one dish at a time, starting with 'shukto' which is the right order to go with a typical Bengali lunch.
So true! Best thali is what you eat in someone’s house. Growing up my relatives always served food in this manner and it was so light to eat and delicious.
11:06 wrong wrong. East Bengali foods contain more onion and fat. While west bengali food is more subtle with flavor on mind, east bengali spice quotient is a little high and a bit tempered. There's a small hint of sweetness in kolkata food with ginger and garlic, in east the sweetness is mostly absent. East prefer food more fried, hence oily. But in overall sense there's not much of a difference in basic ingredients other than spice, onion and GG paste.
Bengal has largest varity of food among all Indian states(As for favoriority of both veg and non veg food) Bengali ghee is unique in India and unlike from other states it's aromatic. It's flavour comes form it's long time preparation. Bengal has significant influence of french culture over it's food.The whole starting from bitter to end eating sweets is same as hors d'œuvre or entrée in France. Eating rice with multiple side dishes everyday two times is common to most bengali households,regular meals from other state are simpler. The dish shukto has some sister dishes on Malayalam cuisine but completely unknown to rest of India. Bengalis use Panchforon for heating ,which is very uncommon to other states. ..... and many more
Assam, Orissa, TN, Andhra, Kerala, Karnataka, Majarashtra, Gujarat all these states have variety of dishes and bitter, sweet, sour, savoury, pungent dishes to balance flavours.. Panch phoron is used in Orissa, Bihar as well.
Yes a lot of people are vegeterian in those states and don't have the dishes made of of fishes and seafoods. Breading of fries is rare in other states of India.Types of sweets are highly variant in bengal than all other states,every sweet shop contains at least 20 variants of sweets which is extremely rare in any other parts. Food of all tastes are available in other states too but regular people don't eat everything everyday,most for occasions. But bitter,starters,main course and sweets are part of every meal for Bengalis. Food from orisha are very similar to bengal but I hardly doubt using panchforon in actual bihari cuisine.
the problem is you have not visited other states of India or you never had friends other then bengalis. You have only eaten and tasted bengali food and never tried anything else. Sabko apna culture aur cuisine dusro se supirior lagta h. People of other states also think that bengali food is all about macher jhor ,bhat, rosogulla, sandesh, this is what they have seen and heard through media . But we all know that its more than that. Each and every state of India is equally great and have the same love for our motherland.
Bengalis never eat fish and meat with two hands...real bengali eats fish and meat using one hand..😎 Its literally very funny if Chef Kunal was attended by my Grandmother instead of Chef Sengupta...she will definitely show the direction of eating by one hand.. through her warning " বাবা বাঁ হাত যেন এঁটো করোনা, নয়তো লক্ষ্মী রাগ করবেন" ( son don't stick your left hand, otherwise laxmi( Goddess of Abundance and wealth, who generally likes pure )..will get angry).. Miss her so badly..😢 And many many good wishes to both Chefs♥️
There is a proverb in our Raj Bhasha Hindi, aap ruchi khana par ruchi pehenna ,so if some one is eating with his both hands where is the problem let him enjoy his food, because we Bengali from our childhood trained & taught by our parents not to eat with both hands, but in other parts of our country it's very common thing eating with both hands so please 🙏 don't get disturb by his eating style simply enjoy &see how he is relishing our Bengali cuisine 👌😊

@@abdulgaffar4597-g7hIn West Bengal, India when we discuss West Bengali & East Bengali cuisine it's about the cuisine of the Hindus i.e. Ghoti & Bangal, hope you understand. Bangladeshi food all over the world is generally represented by the Muslims., which has lot of differences from the cuisine of the Hindus. If you say pure Bengali food you have to time travel as muslim rulers came to Bengal at around 1200AD just about 800 years back after which mass conversions begun, Bengalis have been living in this region for much longer than that. Present day Bengali food be it Bangladesh or Indian is a fusion of a lot of other cuisines, so it would be wrong to term any as pure.
All your host across India,treat you with their best of delicacies, and their gestures say our food is the best.That is the real beauty of our country, as well as your show.May be we are so diverse as a culture but compositely we all are so close and United.Now that is the sweetest part of your show.
Bengalis are foodies as well as have sweet tooth, Bengali cuisine is widely spread all over the world where ever they go the pure Bengali heart' welcomes guests with their delicious food preparation 🙏💐🇮🇳💐🙏
Love u sir.It is the first time I am seeing a renowned chef is so much interested and emotional about Kolkata.Everyone else is very busy with North Indian Cuisine only. Hats off to you sir.Proud of you……
Madam.. I would like to correct your statement a little bit... After partition.. When the muslim population rised in Bangladesh... The usage of onion garlic ginger as the common base ingredients became more popular.. As you can understand they are muslim.. More non veg oriented.. But my grandparents from dhaka.. Who were there at that time of undivided india... Hindu.. They exactly knew what ingredients to where.. Never ever they used to put onion garlic ginger as base ingredients.. In every dish...
@@ankitahalder770 I never mentioned onion garlic and ginger were used as base material in every dish. Before partition Muslims were not there? My grandparents also came to India around the same time.They were alsofrom Dhaka. Dhamrail. I have also visited Dhaka afew many times.
@@anannyaroychowdhury2715 yes mam of course they were there... Unlike now.. Where 90% is Muslim dominated.. So their way of cooking... Their cuisine is the highlight of that particular country... And talking of use of onion and garlic..ginger... In all sorts of dishes..and in every form is very much noticeable in their dishes.. Whether it be the base or garnish... Which were not in case of my grandparents... Who hailed from dhaka... Mam... Im a student.. I may not have visited dhaka..... And I may be less experienced than you... But I certainly notice a huge difference in their way of cooking as compared to ours... As you mentioned.. You have visited dhaka a no. Of times... But madam that doesn't change the fact... That it is a Muslim dominated area... So the use of onion garlic ginger is dominant there which was not the scenario in undivided India..... Thank you🙏
The thing which makes Bengali cuisine both Indian & Bangladeshi so rich is the influence of so many other cuisines in it. So, though it cannot be called the purest of cuisines yet it is unique on its own.
I've stayed in West Bengal for a long time and I absolutely love the place and its food. Love love love bengali cuisine. Forever Bengali Rasogolla and Sandesh lover!!!
seriously , world or India renowned chef eating with both hand , eating etiquettes . nyways , it was nice watching him enjoying the thali and Kolkata cuisine . i follow you sir , but you r good ,
East Bengal is a very diverse place ,please don't generalise all the people who migrated from East Pakistan as Bangal,every district has different way of cooking ,the cooking process of Sylhet (my native) is way different from Barishal ,Jessore or Noakhali
Exactly east bengalians do not only have spices fried in all an its over.. no thats a wrong info there are a lot of different items in east bengalian cuisine...
So West Bengal food has no or less variety I presume???All that people say abt West Bengal food is it is sweet....there's a lot more to West Bengal food than mere sweetness.....grow up🤨🤨🤨🤨
East Bengal food cuisines are majority of varieties, which covers paturi in may ways,fish curry in many forms, and so unique vegetables has been used... OMG... I think East Bengal Hindu cuisines have unlimited rich food culture.... as Chef mentioned, it's not only just turmeric, and kalo jeera..... it's just treat to visit East bengal bari😊
Loved how chef Kunal was so interested about the nuance of Bengali cuisine, however the Bengali chef’s comment about East Bengal food simply puts me off.. apparently he has no idea about how rich bangal food is!
Absolutely... The chef defined the food as predominantly something that belongs to the elite Zamindar class. Kolkata being the abode of the Zamindars only.. which again is a problematic statement given the fact that most of these spices come from places beyond the Kolkata metropolis. Most importantly, the chef demeaned east bengali food as something that lacks nuance and richness. Parochial regionalism and sectarian sentiments that typically see the bangals (east bengalis) as the "other" of the cultured class of Kolkata dwellers (the ghotis). The chef is skilled but lacks actually knowledge of true pan-bengali culture and history.. Shame..
The very first thing the chef should have learnt is how to eat a bengali thali. He is not eating a burger here for god sake. Its heartbreaking to see he did not do justice to the food served. Please bring someone who is really passionate about cultures before you make them sit to experience their cuisine.
You are 100 % right..... I think this video is made only to earn money....and only bengali food lovers viewership..... Nothing more than that... Mannerless eating...
It's a beautiful meal.. I have never tried Chiney Kebab. Need to try it the next time at 6 Ballygunge. But others need to learn to eat with just one hand 😅
You are my favourite chef Mr.Kapoor ... You are in my city 😍 and I just love the spread over there .. drooling 🤤🤤🤤 and yes luchi , kasa r thala te khowar amader unique style r tradition ta chef Mr. Sengupta ki kore bhule gelen ??? Chef kabhi hume bhi mauka dia kijie apki khatir dari karne ka 😎😉
it's not Bengali thali not kolkata thali, It's boroloke thali. If you want orignal Bengali thali pls go BURDWAN, SHANTINIKETAN, PURULIA in West Bengal and IT'S THALI BENGALI RURAL AREA means Grambangla holo Original Bengali thali
Right.... grambanglar khaber j khabe se Bengali khaber er proti Prem e pore jabe....posto Bora, alu vaja , potol vaja, sak vaja, mug er dal, jhal jhal chiken kosa, katla mach er jhal, choto chingri.....aha!
I belong to multiple cultures. It is a bit sad for food lovers when diversity is less accomodated for. I wish chef Kunal could meet a chef who can introduce him to authentic oriya recipes
I lived in many parts of India and abroad. The variation in Bengali food is unparalleled, street food, Indo chinese are best in Kolkata but if you want mughlai dishes then I consider Luncknow the best.

I really appreciate the effort ppl are putting in comment section to explain the authenticity or how to actually do justice to a Bengali meal ... I would just like to say that I expected one more fish item in the thali .. could have been better
There is nothing called a Bengali thali nor was there ever was. Bengali cuisine is a different course meal and comes in courses starting with bitter and ending with sweet. Ghee is served in the begining.
I am upset that there was no dal and begun bhaja/beguni/jhuri alu bhaja in the thali. Also the comment about food from East Bengal isn't entirely correct!
East Bengal hindu food is very light. Think morichpora. I think u ppl are confusing the cuisine of East Bengal Muslims. Also in East Bengal the Sylhetis , Bramhanbaria, and Comilla use onion . Others do not. My pishi used to tell us how her mom in law almost fainted when she put a little onion in tel koi.
@@debaratibasu9080 food has also religion!!!! Surprising! As per my knowledge muslims take beef where as hindu don't!! But the art of cooking is different!!! My grandparents also from East Bengal , they also don't like onion in various cooking; but all types of their cooking taste extremely delicious! My mom and me too learn cooking from her only!!
@@chandreyeebanerjee1224 plz don't be such a woke. What is reality is reality . If u look a little into the cuisine of the Bengali Muslims u will see what I say is true. Cooking techniques are of a particular interest of mine. Do u know Hindus never used garlic or cooked chicken for a long long time? Hence the red steamer chicken curries made again by the Muslim cooks . So learn to value history . If your knowledge of Bengal's Muslim cuisine is restricted to their eating beef only then I do get your limited knowledge on this. Are you aware that we cook 'boli r patha' with ginger and garam masala only? As for your intensely secular sensibility my own Mashi is married to a Muslim as is my paternal cousin to a man named Joseph Sheikh . So plz get out of this typical limiting Bengali hypocritical delusion of I KNOW IT ALL.

Foods like mishti polao are eaten Only by a small minority of total bengalis in the world. Bengali thali and food is found in Bangladesh 🇧🇩. Majority of Bengalis and pure bengali food is found in east bengal 🇧🇩

@@abdulgaffar4597-g7hIn West Bengal, India when we discuss West Bengali & East Bengali cuisine it's about the cuisine of the Hindus i.e. Ghoti & Bangal, hope you understand.
Bangladeshi food all over the world is generally represented by the Muslims., which has lot of differences from the cuisine of the Hindus.
If you say pure Bengali food you have to time travel as muslim rulers came to Bengal at around 1200AD just about 800 years back after which mass conversions begun, Bengalis have been living in this region for much longer than that.
Present day Bengali food be it Bangladesh or Indian is a fusion of a lot of other cuisines, so it would be wrong to term any as pure.
I loved the Thali. I think we should promote it. See how the Other thalis are sold and monetized.
I have been to Ballygung 6 place several times its really has a great spread of Bengali cuisines but this prawn item is new
chin e kabab has been there for many yrs ..
All your host across India,treat you with their best of delicacies, and their gestures say our food is the best.That is the real beauty of our country, as well as your show.May be we are so diverse as a culture but compositely we all are so close and United.Now that is the sweetest part of your show.
That prawn recipe is a hidden gem.
Bengalis are foodies as well as have sweet tooth, Bengali cuisine is widely spread all over the world where ever they go the pure Bengali heart' welcomes guests with their delicious food preparation 🙏💐🇮🇳💐🙏
We Proud for our bengali foods❤
Love u sir.It is the first time I am seeing a renowned chef is so much interested and emotional about Kolkata.Everyone else is very busy with North Indian Cuisine only. Hats off to you sir.Proud of you……
The East Bengal side of cuisine also indulges in a lot of garlic onion and ginger. In fact Hilsa is also prepared with this kind of spices.
Madam.. I would like to correct your statement a little bit... After partition.. When the muslim population rised in Bangladesh... The usage of onion garlic ginger as the common base ingredients became more popular.. As you can understand they are muslim.. More non veg oriented.. But my grandparents from dhaka.. Who were there at that time of undivided india... Hindu.. They exactly knew what ingredients to where.. Never ever they used to put onion garlic ginger as base ingredients.. In every dish...
@@ankitahalder770 absolutely correct.
@@ankitahalder770 ekdom sotto kotha
@@ankitahalder770 I never mentioned onion garlic and ginger were used as base material in every dish. Before partition Muslims were not there? My grandparents also came to India around the same time.They were alsofrom Dhaka. Dhamrail. I have also visited Dhaka afew many times.
@@anannyaroychowdhury2715 yes mam of course they were there... Unlike now.. Where 90% is Muslim dominated.. So their way of cooking... Their cuisine is the highlight of that particular country...
And talking of use of onion and garlic..ginger... In all sorts of dishes..and in every form is very much noticeable in their dishes.. Whether it be the base or garnish... Which were not in case of my grandparents... Who hailed from dhaka...
Mam... Im a student.. I may not have visited dhaka..... And I may be less experienced than you... But I certainly notice a huge difference in their way of cooking as compared to ours... As you mentioned.. You have visited dhaka a no. Of times... But madam that doesn't change the fact... That it is a Muslim dominated area... So the use of onion garlic ginger is dominant there which was not the scenario in undivided India..... Thank you🙏

All my fav dishes
hilsa fish kaha hai ...hilsa k bina Bengali thali incomplete hai .
Bengali cuisine is one of the best in Indian Subcontinent
The thing which makes Bengali cuisine both Indian & Bangladeshi so rich is the influence of so many other cuisines in it.
So, though it cannot be called the purest of cuisines yet it is unique on its own.
East Bengal's cuisine is much richer that that of Wesst Bengal's..a Bengali from Assam
I am from Kolkata love to watch ur vlog Kunal sir 🙏🙏💗
Thanks a ton
I wish all dishes were taught just loved it....

Traditional Bengali thali . V nice . Thank you sir . 👌
You are most welcome
East Bengal is a very diverse place ,please don't generalise all the people who migrated from East Pakistan as Bangal,every district has different way of cooking ,the cooking process of Sylhet (my native) is way different from Barishal ,Jessore or Noakhali
Jhal! prochondo jhal!
my grandparents were from Mymensingha and dhaka and i wouldn't say that every region of bengal makes the same food.
Exactly east bengalians do not only have spices fried in all an its over.. no thats a wrong info there are a lot of different items in east bengalian cuisine...

Many many thanks
This selection is appropriate for representing kolkata's thali all around the world.❤️❤️
6 Ballygaunge place is one of the best restaurant for bengali cuisine.
East Bengal food is richer, spicier and with loads of variety. West Bengal food has little bit of sweetness in it.
Exactly!
Absolitely right.
So West Bengal food has no or less variety I presume???All that people say abt West Bengal food is it is sweet....there's a lot more to West Bengal food than mere sweetness.....grow up🤨🤨🤨🤨
Jive jol chole elo😍😍😍
We are proud to be a Bengali 😇😊🥰❤🙏
East Bengal food cuisines are majority of varieties, which covers paturi in may ways,fish curry in many forms, and so unique vegetables has been used... OMG... I think East Bengal Hindu cuisines have unlimited rich food culture.... as Chef mentioned, it's not only just turmeric, and kalo jeera..... it's just treat to visit East bengal bari😊
Thanks a lot
I am a bengoli .I feel proud for bengoli ranna.❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great job u show history of India every community every cusine keep it up 👍👍
Thanks a lot 😊
Quiet interesting to see the bengali thaki with lot of delicacies...
I love Bengali food ♥️♥️😋😋
one of the most popular bengali dish in the world.
Loved how chef Kunal was so interested about the nuance of Bengali cuisine, however the Bengali chef’s comment about East Bengal food simply puts me off.. apparently he has no idea about how rich bangal food is!
True
Absolutely... The chef defined the food as predominantly something that belongs to the elite Zamindar class. Kolkata being the abode of the Zamindars only.. which again is a problematic statement given the fact that most of these spices come from places beyond the Kolkata metropolis. Most importantly, the chef demeaned east bengali food as something that lacks nuance and richness. Parochial regionalism and sectarian sentiments that typically see the bangals (east bengalis) as the "other" of the cultured class of Kolkata dwellers (the ghotis). The chef is skilled but lacks actually knowledge of true pan-bengali
culture and history.. Shame..
You are absolutely right
@@swayamdiptadas22 he did not say anything about bangladeshi food
Absolutely true,
The very first thing the chef should have learnt is how to eat a bengali thali. He is not eating a burger here for god sake. Its heartbreaking to see he did not do justice to the food served. Please bring someone who is really passionate about cultures before you make them sit to experience their cuisine.
You are 100 % right.....
I think this video is made only to earn money....and only bengali food lovers viewership..... Nothing more than that...
Mannerless eating...
I fully agree with you, he was just insulting those dishes.
Ekdom
He is enjoying the food...thats the main thing
Seeing Eating with both hands seems so annoying.
It's a beautiful meal.. I have never tried Chiney Kebab. Need to try it the next time at 6 Ballygunge.
But others need to learn to eat with just one hand 😅
Hope you enjoy
You are my favourite chef Mr.Kapoor ... You are in my city 😍 and I just love the spread over there .. drooling 🤤🤤🤤 and yes luchi , kasa r thala te khowar amader unique style r tradition ta chef Mr. Sengupta ki kore bhule gelen ??? Chef kabhi hume bhi mauka dia kijie apki khatir dari karne ka 😎😉
This is so good. I need to see all the episodes. Subscribed.
Wow super delicious yummy recipe 🤤😋🤤😋
it's not Bengali thali not kolkata thali, It's boroloke thali. If you want orignal Bengali thali pls go BURDWAN, SHANTINIKETAN, PURULIA in West Bengal and IT'S THALI BENGALI RURAL AREA means Grambangla holo Original Bengali thali
Exactly
Right.... grambanglar khaber j khabe se Bengali khaber er proti Prem e pore jabe....posto Bora, alu vaja , potol vaja, sak vaja, mug er dal, jhal jhal chiken kosa, katla mach er jhal, choto chingri.....aha!
Best episode everrrrr😌❤
Love from Bengal
Superb yummy bengali food👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Thank you so much
I belong to multiple cultures. It is a bit sad for food lovers when diversity is less accomodated for. I wish chef Kunal could meet a chef who can introduce him to authentic oriya recipes
I wish I could feast on rice fish in Kolkata 😊
In Bengali thali hilsa ( ilish) fish is a must item
Great content 😍 Please try some local pice hotel for the basic thalis...those are not fancy at all but more authentic. Just a suggestion😊
Will try
👍
I don't even think for a second before clicking on videos featuring my favourite dishes
You're the best!
Ballygunge cuisine is an emotion♥️
Bengali food is heavenly
If you eat it properly or gently it makes sense. The way you are eating it shows you are not interested to eat you just curious about ingredients
East bangal thali is best...bangal is bangal nothing is like east wast...bas yummy
Being a Bengali,I just came here to read the lovely comments.
6 Ballygunge Place is near my residence. Absolutely love the food there.
same here
Dono hato se kon mache khate hai sir thali is vary delicious I am a bengali form kolkata
The Chef Sengupta tried to add some elite ness to the cuisines… Chingrri-marcher Malaikari is the best cuisine while representing Bengal..!!👍👍
Bengali food is best. We R the best❤🤩. I respect all culture❤
Thank u kunal for such lovely show..... Love from kolkata
Love from Kolkata❤❤❤
I lived in many parts of India and abroad. The variation in Bengali food is unparalleled, street food, Indo chinese are best in Kolkata but if you want mughlai dishes then I consider Luncknow the best.

Absolutely agreed.
He actually said Ghoti cuisine is 'more rich' than Bangal cuisine! Lolmax 😂
You are right...I will not visit 6 bully gunge anymore
True. I stopped watching after that comment.
I think the kosha mangsho was difficult to tear by the looks of it . Ideally it should easily come of .
Amaar kolkata ❤

Best food in da world

I really appreciate the effort ppl are putting in comment section to explain the authenticity or how to actually do justice to a Bengali meal ... I would just like to say that I expected one more fish item in the thali .. could have been better
OOO how I miss having Bengali thali😔
There is nothing called a Bengali thali nor was there ever was. Bengali cuisine is a different course meal and comes in courses starting with bitter and ending with sweet. Ghee is served in the begining.
I am upset that there was no dal and begun bhaja/beguni/jhuri alu bhaja in the thali.
Also the comment about food from East Bengal isn't entirely correct!
Yes.. Bengali thali is incomplete without beguni or begun bhaja..
Right! East Bengal cuisines are very tasty ; than this bengal's cuisines cooked amongst ordinary Bengali families!
East Bengal hindu food is very light. Think morichpora. I think u ppl are confusing the cuisine of East Bengal Muslims. Also in East Bengal the Sylhetis , Bramhanbaria, and Comilla use onion . Others do not. My pishi used to tell us how her mom in law almost fainted when she put a little onion in tel koi.
@@debaratibasu9080 food has also religion!!!! Surprising! As per my knowledge muslims take beef where as hindu don't!! But the art of cooking is different!!! My grandparents also from East Bengal , they also don't like onion in various cooking; but all types of their cooking taste extremely delicious! My mom and me too learn cooking from her only!!
@@chandreyeebanerjee1224 plz don't be such a woke. What is reality is reality . If u look a little into the cuisine of the Bengali Muslims u will see what I say is true.
Cooking techniques are of a particular interest of mine. Do u know Hindus never used garlic or cooked chicken for a long long time? Hence the red steamer chicken curries made again by the Muslim cooks .
So learn to value history . If your knowledge of Bengal's Muslim cuisine is restricted to their eating beef only then I do get your limited knowledge on this. Are you aware that we cook 'boli r patha' with ginger and garam masala only?
As for your intensely secular sensibility my own Mashi is married to a Muslim as is my paternal cousin to a man named Joseph Sheikh . So plz get out of this typical limiting Bengali hypocritical delusion of I KNOW IT ALL.
Bengali food is unique.....
