Bongs or Bengalis are most recognised through their fish dishes and sweets, and the famous “lal doi” or sweet curd it seems. Although any Bong would happily agree to that, there is a lot more to Bengali cuisine. Name it and we have it!
With temperatures soaring and humidity running almost parallel, the very thought of a frosted glass with the cold running down it in droplets, fills us with joy. And what if the drink in the glass is equally delightful? Well, we will not let you down.
