BANGLADESHI FOOD RECIPES:
Bangladesh, land of poets and
artists, is also known for its delicious food. Cooking is considered an
art, and as a guest in a Bengali home, one never lacks for delicious
foods. Bengali curries, pulaos, and sweets are loved the world over.
Boiled rice is the staple diet of
the Bangladeshi's. Mustard and soyabin oils are used as the cooking
medium. Fish is a must for all meals. Hilsa, very testy but full of
small bones, is the most popular of all fishes is available in the rainy
season. Many types of fresh water fish are also available and widely
used.
In an average Bengali home, the main meal would consist of boiled rice
served with some sort of fried vegetables. This forms the first course
of the meal. It is followed by rice and soupy lentils (dal). The third
course is rice, which is eaten with fish curry or on special occasions
meat curry. For the most special occasions chicken curry is preferred.
Very rich families also eat similarly, but eat more beef or mutton and
chicken.
Two types of sweets are favorite in Bangladesh - sweetened yogurt and
sweetmeats. Bengali sweets are well known all over the sub-continent and
are very popular. They are mostly milk sweets such as sandesh,
roshagulla, rosmalai, gulab jamun, chom chom, and kalo jam. The yogurt
is pink in color and very sweet like custard. Foreigners usually find
these too sweet at first, but most people soon learn to enjoy them.
