FOOD AND THE BENGALEES

      Love for food is inseparably connected with the Bengalees .They can't spend time without food.We all know food is the basic need of life Even besides that the Bengalees find many reasons to cook and to eat and be happy .The day begins with a fine cup of tea while taking a quick look at the headlines of the newspaers Macher Jhol and Bhat (fish curry and rice) is the typical combination that one can find in almost every Bengali house everyday .This habit perhaps grew as Bengal is blessed with RIVER GANGES.
     Starting with Sukto (an item of Bitter Gourd )Bengali menu generally ends with Chatny(a sweet dish),thus keeps a balance.Panch foron (name of a spice )gives Bengali cuisin a secial touch while Ghanto and Chachhari have their own spell.And who doesnot love Alubhaja (fried potato)?
     People of Bengal cook to express their love for their beloved ones They love to experiment with food .They exchange different foods with other people and make their own version. Their Sweets like RASOGOLLA  and Pithas need special mention.During different festivals BENGAL cooks Bhog (special dishes to offer God) In various seasons the people make different foods depending on the available ingredients that make Bengali cuisins unique in its own ..
    We may sum up that Tok Jhal Misti  natured Bengalee people even can make Nonta and Tita menus tastes crispy and nice to enrich your taste buds .They are conscious of the fact HEALTH IS WEALTH and tries to maintain balance in their cuisin with originality.
