Yes the delectable taste of Bengali food is something that you fall in love with! Bengali cuisine is the culinary style of Bengal, a region in eastern India, encompassing Bangladesh and the Indian states of West Bengal, Tripura, and Assam's Barak Valley. The cuisine is influenced by the diversity of the region's history and climate. It is known for its various use of flavours derived from its spices and the mode of cooking. Bengali cuisine has the only traditionally developed multi-course system in South Asia. Expanding your palate, it takes your taste buds on a trip across different cultures which is as exciting and adrenaline-pumping as going on a physical adventure. Ashok Malkani brings to light the reason for the delicacy of this cuisine - the spices and form of cooking. Bengali cuisine, it can be said, is one of the most diverse culinary disciplines in the world.
The two festivals of happiness and zeal have just past this year Diwali and Durga Puja. While the former is an all-India celebration, the latter is popular in Bengal, a place which is famous for an array of things, and one of the most important of them is food. Not only is Bengal famous for its sweets - like mouth-watering Rosogollas, Chomchom and Rasmalai - but also for super tasty Sorshe llish and Chingri Macher Malai Curry - which are just a few of the delectable dishes of this cuisine.
Bengal has been famous for its cuisine ever since the make up of the sovereign state of Bangladesh (earlier East Bengal or East Pakistan) and the Indian state of West Bengal. So what has made Bengali food popular?
Alafia Galabhai, Chef de Cuisine, The Westin Mumbai Garden City, states, "Bengali food has gained popularity due to its cooking techniques, ingredients used and distinct flavour of mustard used in most food while cooking. The Bengali food culture gained more prominence due to the Mughal influence that started in Bangladesh."

Healthy Food - An Attempt to Meet Diners' Desire
Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3), one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations in 2015, was about "Good Health and Well-being". This could be said to be an eye-opener and the source of making people aware of maintaining their health, which became more pronounced due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Consuming healthy food, since then, has become a significant - if not imperative - element in lives of almost everyone. And this healthy and nutritious food is also playing a significant role in the success of restaurants. Diners are now becoming more particular about the food they consume, making the F&B outlets offer a diverse and appealing menu of healthy food options. Ashok Malkani tries to evaluate how the restaurants and chefs are meeting this desire for nutritious food by customers and what are some of the healthy food options.
