Bengali Vegetarian Indian Recipes | Bengali Food | Bengali Dishes | Bengali vegetarian Cuisine. Bengali veg cuisine has some unique characteristics that set it apart from the rest of the country’s food styles. Hailing from Eastern India, Bengali food makes use of mustard oil and a mixture of five seeds and spices called the panch phoron to get a special flavour. There is no roasting or grinding to make the Bengali panch phoron masala. It is just a combination of five seeds namely cumin seeds, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, fennel seeds and nigella seeds which is always mixed and kept ready for tempering. .

Bengali veg Parota and Luchi Recipes

Parota is a special type of Indian bread, which never fails to entice the diner with its special slightly-chewy mouth-feel and unique appearance that has a spiral or ringed surface.

While the traditional version is made of maida, here we have made it healthier by using whole wheat flour instead in the form of masala stuffed parota. This goes to show how a small tweak in the choice of ingredients can make a dish healthier.

Nimki is an all-time favourite Bengali jar snack, which has a very appetizing flavour and extremely interesting mouth-feel! Surprisingly, this snack requires only a few ingredients.

It feels very different when you bite into a Nimki and you are sure to be bowled over by the sheer variety that Indian cuisine offers – isn’t it truly amazing how the same ingredients can yield different kinds of snacks simply because they are rolled or cooked differently?
