The fame of Indian cuisine on the global platform of gastronomy needs no separate introduction. What makes the country's food culture stand out in the lot are the rich and diversified regional cuisines! Every state has something new and unique to offer; and one such state that needs special mention is Bengal. Bengal's love affair with food is no secret to the world. It culinary history goes back more than a thousand years. A confluence of culinary styles of East Bengal (now Bangladesh) and West Bengal, Bengali cuisine is known for an elaborated spread of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.
Although people majorly think that Bengali cuisine is dominated by macher jhol and bhaat (fish curry and rice), trust us, it has much more to offer! And one such example is Bengali's famous labra- a traditional mixed veg sabzi made with variety of seasonal vegetables. Traditionally, this dish is an integral part of the bhog (food offered during Pujas) culture of the Bengalis.
