Honestly, no matter how much I enjoy exploring the world cuisine, I am proud to be a Bengali when it comes to my Food habits. Our tastebuds are meant for some delicious recipes on earth quintessential to a regular Bengali Home. We Bengalis have big appetite for a platter which typically has 5-7 types of starters to Main course to 5 types of Desserts. The reason why we have more number or occasions than the days in a year, as it is said in Bengali, Baro(12) mashe(months) Tero (13) parbon(rituals). 😂 Now there are two types of Bengalis and we have our own share of kinds of recipes. People from East Bengal, aka Bangladesh who migrated to Indian side of Bengal(West Bengal in India) are called Bangals and I was born in West Bengal, hence I am a Ghoti! There has always existed a Cold War between Bangals and Ghotis as to who makes the best of ‘Chingri Malaikari or Ilish Bhapa. Despite everything , we forget all our inside wars once the food platter is in front.One thing is for sure, if not for the Bangals we wouldn’t have gotten the Chingri Malaikari and Ilish Recipes. This is a platter prepared by my Mother-In-Law during one of the rituals when I was on vacation to Home during the festivities, last month. Isn’t it gorgeous?! 😍 Happy Tummy! 😋#GoodEats
