What's the first thing you think of when we mention Bengal? Is it their rich culture and deep-rooted history of literature, iconic tramways and Howrah Bridge, Durga Pujo a.k.a. the festival of joy or, their sugar syrup coated and mouth watering sweets? Well, for us it's all of the above. But, but, but...the foodie in us always triumphs.
Bengali sweets. Mishti doi, rosogolla, ledikini, pantua (which looks a lot like Gulab Jamun, but it's not), sita bhog, shor bhaja and many more. While some are either deep fried in ghee and dipped into sugary syrup, others are made from rich homely ingredients like rice, cinnamon, jaggery, milk, khoya and so much more.
