Reposted from @bhojan_rasik . . Bengali cuisine is famous for it’s various fish preparations – and there is a lot going into the fish gravy on whether it should be called "Maacher Jhol" or "Maacher Jhaal". Like any other cuisine in this world, no Bengali fish recipe is sacrosanct and no one recipe is better than the other. The usage of garlic, onion, tomatoes in some fish preparations may feel like a modern interpretation but if you dig in, you may find that they are as intrinsic part of a traditional recipe in some other region in Bengal. What perhaps remains sacrosanct is the use of mustard oil in a Bengali fish preparation and the use of fingers for bhaat mekhe khaoa – to mix the rice in the delicious fish gravy. . . . #thefoodavengers #calcuttacanvasfood #we_are_bong_foodies #bongchitrography #go_bangali #bongo_calcutta #foodfunfantasy #incredible_kolkata_ #htfofficial #kolkatasutrafood #bhojan_rasik #kolkatarito #kolkatadelites #kolkata_oikkotaan #bengalipana #hftgsn #calcuttaconnexion #kolkatalittlethings . .
