I am a Non Bengali but born here in Kolkata. I dont know why but more than any non Bengali dish, i love Bengali food. Bengali food is love. U have so many options in veg as well as nonveg. No hard feelings for the other cultures and there food but In India I feel Bengali cuisine is THE BEST

[@SiddharthaKundu7]

Actually, coz Ami jol khabe and ami tomeke bhalobese are too mainstream. 😆😆

[@bhulbhulya00]

Bengalis are proud of so many legends who are bengali..nd world wide famous...not for some xyz non bengali.. Idiot..keep self proud within yourself..as you are bngali.. We are superior thn any other Indian athenic group

[@ritobritasaha9220]

Antil Da's bengali pronounciation is so accurate ❤️🤗

[@MrDebd]

Bengalis are the one who not only knows how to cook drumstick & moringa leaves curry, but we also cook amazing moringa flower curry using poppy paste. We are the only one who knows to make "pakora" out of pumkin flower. We make curry of pumkin leaves, bottle guard leaves & stems ( kumro danta, lau saag, lau danta, as we call in bengali). We not only make "dal badi", bt also make "ashgaurd badi"( chal kumro bodi in bengali), we are master in veg dishes as well. We are the only one who make raw papaya chatni ( plastic chutney), also v make amazing raw papaya curry.

[@moonbearia415]

I also love moringa flower with aloo ki sabji.. It's too good

[@Kunal_Bhattacharya007]

Couple of reflections : 1.) Bengalis even eat the delicious inner part of the banaa tree stem called "thor". One of the most overlooked ood rich in iron and vitamins. 2.) Luchi & kosha mangsho is one combination while motorshutir kochuri & cholar dal is the other. Kochuri & mangsho is not am ideal combo. But luchi is universal combination with most bengali non veg dishes except fish.

[@irfanzamil8229]

The culture of food Bengal has provided to the entire indian subcontinent is just beyond imagination

[@rajajana9842]

Nolen Gur is made from Fresh Date palm Juice, its boiled and made into Nolen Gur, it's only available during Winter Season in West Bengal. Also its Bhetki Fish Fry with Fillets of Kolkata Bhetki Fish, Macher chop is a different snack all together where the Fish is mashed with potatoes and sauteed with Masalas and made in to a filling which goes inside a egg breadcrumb coating and deep fried. It contains garam masala and raisin also.

[@joymeetgupta6929]

Bengalis use Aloo in most of the dishes is because since Bengal region faced so many famines over the years people have learned to incorporate aloo in maximum of the dishes to fill up their appetite. This is also the reason why banana flower dishes are found. If you go further east in bengal to the North East of India you would find so many bengali dishes that you have not even heard about such as stem from banana plant used in curry, Taro roots and stem (Kochur Loti), dry fish, fermented fish with bhoot jhulakiya and many more fishes not found in the western region. One could also find a wide variety of cuisine in Bangladesh where the best quality of Ilish Fish (Hilsa Fish) is found from the river Padma.

[@sonalimandal1793]

Being Bengali I would say..we eat and use every bit of banana and banana tree even the base of it like the thos, and for the veg platter if you had tried Along with daal and bhaat, you wud have enjoy it more 💗

The nice thing about the show is to have two people side by side, one trying non veg and another veg. A lot of people think Bengali food is all about fish and chicken and mutton and seafood. The array of veg dishes are mind boggling and great to see an effort to showcase it.

You have mentioned banana leaves, curry, the fruit banana and its flower.. in Manipur( other NE states too maybe) we use the stems as delicacies either as Singju( kinda salad) and eromba( mashed boiled veggies with fermented fish and lots of chillies garnished wit local herbs).. and lastly happy Durga puja to the urban guide team..

[@MrSayon20]

I agree. Even Bengalis use banana stem ('thhorh') to make curries.

[@shibanibatabyal4764]

Yes and that very tasty and healthy

[@ngtrueblue]

Bengali cuisine also uses the stem of the banana plant, it is called thhorh in Bengali

[@gamersgient5486]

​​@@ngtrueblue yes and with the outer side of the tree of stem we use to create nouka or boat in durga puja for durga ma 😊 And we also eat the root of the banana tree in the form of curry or achar or simply pickle 😊 so we eat whole tree and use them 😊 And use the leaf also to serve prasad in pujo 😊

[@ushashi6158]

[@subhratanudaripa]

Geographically Bengal region (that includes modern day West Bengal and Bangladesh) spans from tropical to temperate zones and has more than 90 per cent of most fertile plains. Apart form deserts, all major landforms are present here. This helps the region grow vast numbers of crops,vegetables, fruits and other ingredients. Where you have so many options of ingredients in to cook, you definitely expect so many varieties of food. Thats the reason why Bengali cuisine has so many vegetarian dishes apart from fish, meat, prawns, crabs. Even if you are a pure vegetarian, you'll not be disappointed while you visit Bengal. Thats the reason why Bengalees are mostly foodies.
