Hey! What are some of your favourite Bengali dishes to eat?

hii my lovely!! this is such a cool question ; thank u for sending it in 🥺 it’s probably no surprise to u that i have loads and loads of bengali dishes that are my favourites but i’ll list a few down here ! :

- pumpkin & chicken/beef/prawn torkari (just,, curry essentially ig)

- aloo bhorta (mashed potato with onions, green chillies, coriander - esp when i eat it with kasundi which is a sauce made of mustard seeds, green mango and spices)

- TENGA !! which is a tangy tomato-based fish curry & super popular in sylheti cuisine :D the sauce is like a broth and can be eaten just as that too AND it can sometimes include some sour fruits like green apple or bengali plums (fish and fruit as a combo is quite common as a whole in sylheti cooking)

- chicken roast which is a MUST for celebrations and when u have guests around!!

- chicken kurma ; this is also a staple for eid lunch at our house!!!!

- one thing that my mum hasn’t made in years, and i think about it maybe 3 or 4 times a week, is her beef & bamboo torkari which isn’t one of those common bengali dishes but i love it so much it needed to get a mention ! :3

- potato/carrot/spinach/cabbage/pumpkin skin bhaaji which are just kind of like... lightly spiced and stirfried vegetable dishes ??

- kisuri!!!! although i prefer bhuna kisuri, the waterier (if that’s a word) type is the ultimate comfort food and it’s best eaten with mango pickle !! <33
