Flavours of Bengal

One of the main reasons for selecting this topic today,is my own character probably. Being born in a Bengali family and brought up in Kolkata,delicious food have always fascinated me. Spice,aroma and mouth-watering flavours create a magical essence in Bengali food. The food of West Bengal is predominated by myriad of fish delicacies. The spices used in the preparation of foods is different from that of north Indian foods. Kolkata has become a hub of mouth-watering biriyanis over the years. People of bengal,known for their delicate lifestyle are very particular about food. Every alternate lanes and streets of Kolkata possess a multicuisine or a chinese restaurant. Some famous areas like Park Street and China Town are famous for their rows of cuisines. One can never run out options when it comes to food and restaurants in Kolkata. Be it south Indian delicacies,mughlai or north Indian, Kolkata is the place to be.









How can the meal of a Bengali end without a rasogolla or a sandesh? The other sweetened delicacies include varieties of payesh and sweetened curd or "mishti doi". Various food festivals are organised in Kolkata throughout the year. Bengali food creates a cultural essence and thus,reputed across the globe.
It is rghtly said at times, that bengalis eat to live and live to eat.
