Here are five Bengali dishes you must savor.. you don't know what you have missed until you have tried them .. all those who are veggies will miss out a bit, because Bengali's are hardcore non-vegetarians. Moreover fish is a staple diet here so it is essential in almost all delicacies..<--crabs
1.Lou Chingri -prawns are really yummy when cooked with louki in hindi and sometimes coconut
too. FYI prawns are considered as insects :) 2. Kakra or crabs are an absolute yum.. and they are insects too :)
3. Doi Rui-dahi[curd] and rohu fish are absolutely delicious..
chingri-->
4.Hilsha is renowned to be a favourite for Bengali's is truly the king of all fishes. and when cooked with mustard or cur is totally heavenly.
5.shorshe chicken- mustard and chicken seemed like a weird combination at first but trust me it is really out of the world.
