Bengali cuisine features a lot more seafood in its dishes than any other South Asian countries, such as shorsha hilsa, a curry cooked in mustard gravy using common hilsa fish. The vegetable bhorta is the go-to starter in a Bengali meal, made of mashed potato and can be mixed with vegetables or meat of your choice. Bengali cuisine is much loved for its subtle yet fiery flavours. Famous for Maach, Hilsa fish is known as the 'queen of fish'.
