Food

The main food of Bangladesh is vaat, dal, & fish. Western food is available in all major hotels and most of the big restaurants in import cities. But local dishes are normally far better and more exotic. Curries of many kinds around, cooked with proper spices and hot curry powders, including Korma, Rezala, Bhoona and Masala Gosht, Chicken, mutton, beef, fish and prawns, Chicken Afghani, Chicken Baghdadi, Chicken Kashmiri, Chicken Tikka, boti kabab, shutli kabab and a variety of fish curries should be tried. Rice in the form of pulao, biriani-with rice and mutton or chicken and khichuri are available in any reasonable restaurant. Those who do not care for rice dishes can try mughlai parata, plain parata or naan, which go very well with curries. Seafood and sweet-water fish are available in most of the towns. Fish-lovers should not miss smoked hilsa, fresh bhetki and chingri (lobster/king prawns) malaikari, Prawn dopyaza. Chai is the milky sweet tea available almost everywhere. Lassi is the refreshing yogurt drink. Green coconut water is a fine, safe and refreshing drink. Desert item is Misti Dhohi, sweetened yogurt, Halua a common dessert ranging from egg halua to carrot, sooji or wheat cream, almond, pistachio, nuts and so on. Sandesh is milk based dessert, one of the best available, Zorda: sweetened rice with nuts, Firni is rice flour cooked in milk, sugar and flavoring, Rasgolla & Kalojam.
