The name of my country is Bangladesh. As a nation we are Bengalis. Bengali food is very popular. Our food tastes very different because we use a lot of spices. This spices is what makes our food delicious. And our country is full of natural resources. One of the reasons for saying this is that spices are cultivated in our country and large quantities of spices are prepared. Three dishes which are very popular in our country. They are : Rice and fish, Spiced beef and Bread, Hotchpotch.

Rice and Fish (ভাত এবং মাছ) :

Rice is the mani and traditional food of Bengalis. In the afternoon time every Bengali eat rice as lunch. Bengalis are called fish and rice Bengalis (মাছে ভাতে বাঙালি) . Because rice and fish is a popular food of people here. In Bangladesh, rice is served with a variety of fish, meat, bharta and pulses. Everyone loves to eat fried fish. Hilsa fish is everyone’s favourite. A combination of hilsa fish with panta rice and dried fish, anchar, dal, green chilies, and beetroot flakes, this dish is eaten throughout the year in Bangladesh, but is a popular dish during the Pahela Boishakh festival. Rice contains a lot of sugars which provide energy to our body. Bengalis are hardworking people. So rice has become the main food of the people of this country.

Bread is Bengalis one of the favourite food. Basically people eat bread in the morning, as breakfast or at night, as dinner. Bread is usually eaten with beef or fried eggs or dal. But the fun of eating with beef and curry is different. Beef is a coveted dish for foodie Bengalis.  A variety of beef curries are consumed in Bangladesh throughout the year. This dish is one of my favourite dish.To eat bread with dry filling is also tasty and delicious.

Hotchpotch (খিচুড়ি) :

Hotchpotch is one of the favourite food of our country's people. Hotchpotch is a rice dish that is one of the most popular dishes in South Asian countries including India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. While the typical hotchpotch rice is cooked mainly with rice and lentils, the use of other pulses including bajra, mugdal can also be observed. There are many types of Hotchpotch. They are Roasted hotchpotch, Soft hotchpotch, Vegetable hotchpotch, Vegetarian hotchpotch . Fried eggs and hotchpotch is my favourite one. In the rainy days eating hotchpotch has a different kind of pleasure. In rainy days hotchpotch is cooked in almost all homes.

Bengalis have been called foodies since ancient times. I am also a foodies🙃.
