Be it a festival, puja or a wedding, cuisine plays a major role in the celebrations. Bengali cooking has mostly been nurtured in households and families and the dishes are carefully prepared as per recipes handed down through the generations. Bengali cuisine is unique in its use of subtle spices and flavors and what predominantly assists it to stand out is this selective use of spices. The seasoning for each preparation is unique. Bengali style of cooking is simpler than as perceived by most people. It is one of those styles where grandma’s way of preparing is the best way to bring out the most authentic flavor. Food is what brings Bengali's forget about cricket, tea, politics, and sometimes even Tagore, the poet. Roke, born and brought up in Kolkata, love to eat Bengali homecooked food, specially made my her Grandma, and now continued by her Mom. So when her Mom visits her, she is in a feast of the 5 senses. This time she requested her Mom to share her culinary magic, based on recipes of her grandma, carried over hundreds of years by women keeping their families together through thick and thin through their food medicine.
