INDIAN FOOD From BENGAL! | It SURPRISED ME!! 

I have been living in India for many years and to be honest ,the food here never fails to satisfy the hunger.

Elish jhol always tastes good with plain rice & if you go through the history of India before independence Bangladesh was not even born as it was a part of India but after independence Pakistan & after that Bangladesh gained independence from Pakistan so the cuisines are almost the same for Pakistan & Bangladesh

Wow…I was traveling in Bangladesh from 1st Aug till 12th Aug and I was having Elish almost everyday 😀 it’s my favorite fish and Bangladesh is the biggest Elish producer & Exporter in the world….BTW our today’s menu is also Elish 😅 in lunch in my house in Kolkata. India 🇮🇳

Bengal will always amaze everyone with it's delicious food...love from kolkata ♥️

Bengali cuisines isn't only of Bangladesh, it's rooted to West Bengal and some parts of Assam as well.

A shout out to all the Bengalis here!! Yuhu! Bengali food will open a whole new dimension if you try each and every delicacy!!Apart from non vegetarian food we have a wide range rather immense range of vegetarian or vegan options which most of the other part in Indian doesn't even know, let alone the world. Try to watch the channel Bong Eats and you will be mesmerized ❤️❤️😘🤗! I just love how you are so open to welcome every indian cuisine!! 🤗🤗 Cheers from Bengal, India

It's the rarest of the Indian food. it's Very Different from the other cuisines which ARE EASILY AVAILABLE through out the country. Really yummy.😊 Bengali food is NOT easily FOUND in other states of India. U Lucky.👍🏼

Bengal is not entirely Bangladeshi. West Bengal is a state in India with Kolkata being it's capital and the people are mostly Bengali. Other states in India also have a good Bengali population.

As a Bengali love to see this vlog, lots of love and blessing 😇from Kolkata, India.

Try seabus steamed in musterd sauce wrapped in banana leaf. its dish without bones( name - bhetki paturi ) bengali dish

"Ami tomoke bhalobashi" is the first thing i learnt from Bengal, these guys are as chubby and sweet as rasogulla. Love the guys from deep of my heart, 20 yrs back my best friends were pakuli and baboi. Though i dont know the meaning of their names but can never forget the food i had at their home.

You are truly blessed-you can breeze through bony fish- without this ability you cannot do justice to Bengali fish💯

In India some people eat fish with bone and they can actually separate bone in mouth and same time enjoy fish they are so talented 🙋

Happy that you have finally tried Bengali food. It will never disappoint you. Though traditional Bengali biryani doesn’t look like this but definitely that ilish and piyaji looks traditional. Most of the Bengali food is cooked in mustard oil so it will give you a kick and you will definitely enjoy it. Looking forward to more of this kind of videos. Cheers :)

As a bengali from india (West bengal ) I am feeling very happy ...that u tried our authentic bengali foods!

well bangaladeshi food is a little different than food in west bengal... I am from west Bengal and we love our mustard and poppy seeds.... but its very very difficult to get authentic dishes outside of our state let alone country

You should try the traditional steamed hilsha curry with mustard paste. The mustard steam hilsha is the best hilsha recipe.

I'm a Bengali from Kolkata India and wanna see more Bengali vlog from you 😍✌️😌

As a Bengali residing in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, am so happy to see you try our cuisine. It is one of the least exposed tasty cuisine of India to the outside world. Ilish jhol, Kolkata style biryani and peyaji (onion fritters) are also popular in Kolkata and Bangladesh and Kolkata share almost 80% commonality in cuisine. BTW, Bengali cuisine is mostly cooked in mustard oil, the second most healthy cooking oil after olive oil. Make Kolkata style biryani, which is very different from Bangladesh style biryani, less spices and very flavourful. Refer BONG EATS channel for recipe and direction.

The Bengali cuisine is one of the best in South Asia, also try their clothing and may apply Heena too, you'll love it

Omg...At last. Good to see you tried awesome bengali food. Lot of love from kolkata(india🇮🇳)🙏❤😘😍

I’ve never tried Bengali food before, everything looks great but the biryani looks fantastic 😍

Bangladesh and West Bengal ( A state of eastern India) have lot of similarities in their cuisine as Bengalis live in these areas. Bengali is the 2nd most spoken language in India after Hindi. You can try following Bengali dishes. I hope you will enjoy. Bengali bread - Luchi , Korai Shutir Kachuri, Radhaballavi etc. with aloor dom (kind of potato curry)/ cholar dal Bengali Veg dishes- Chhanar Kopta, Potol dorma, Dhokar dalna, Enchor, Alu posto, Sukto, Mochar torkari etc. Bengali Non veg dishes- Mutton/ chiken/ Lamb/ pork Kosha, Vetki Paturi, Chitol Muitha, Chingri Malaicurrry, Ilish Vapa Bengali snacks - Singara, Vegetable chop, Kabiraji Pokara, chiken/fish Cutlet, butter fish fry, Egg mutton devil, Nimki etc. Dessert - Bengali sweets are best in India. Try Rosogolla, baked rosogolla, Pantua, Sita Bhog, different type of Sondesh, Misiti Doi etc.

Bengali people are as sweet as a rasgulla. who all agree.Sweetest one ever.

SIMPLEST DESI MASALA FISH FRY 1 or 2 lb (to balance spice level) fish easiest to find with scales removed cut and add in a bowl ginger garlic paste 1.25 teaspoon coriander powder 0.75 teaspoon cumin powder 0.75 teaspoon blend of garam masala 0.75 teaspoon turmeric powder 0.50 teaspoon red kashmiri chilly powder 1 teaspoon black pepper powder 0.33 teaspoon asafoetida (hing) pinchfull salt to taste hung curd 1 tablespoon gram flour 1-2 tablespoon squeeze 1 good lime mix with hand with one hand holding bowl leave and marinate for 2 hours in a deep pan hi heat add 1 litre refined soyabean oil fry spinkle chaat masala and lemon juice

I live in Bangladesh, it's nice to see more and more foreigners liking our cuisine.

When you are making Bengali food try macher jhol /fish curry Bengali style, kosha mangsho, we have so many pakora like things it's call Bora you can make it with any vegetables or meat/fish or flower petals, Bengali style chicken curry, or simple alo mola (smashed potatoes with onion,spice , chili , salt and mustard oil) with dal .

Thank you very much my brother for sharing a very good video 🙏 full support for you my brother ❤ hope you are always healthy and happy brother ❤🌹🌺🌸🏵🌼🌻🤝🙏

Since you already started eating Indian food with your hands I'm gonna share some tips to improve your game- When your mix your rice with the gravy and start to lift close the gaps between your fingers(except the thumb), there must be no gaps when lifting. Then when you push the food with your thumb use the back of the thumb i.e. the nail part. You'll end up with less messy hands. The art of eating with your hands is very subtle and we perfected it from birth so you can see me eating and not even see food on the back of my hand(the part that's on camera lol).

I think you miss One Item that is POSTO Bengali dish is incomplete without posto. I wish next time you try Bengali dishes with Posto(Poppy seeds) that feels heavenly...

The fact you ate all those bones without getting any stuck in your throat daimnn. I was getting all anxious about this

Good morning Jessica. . The owner was quite sweet enough to let you visit their store as well . Bangladeshi food is similar to what we get in West Bengal and also other parts of India 🇮🇳 It would be wonderful to watch you cook an authentic Bengali Biryani along with the Hilsa fish with curry . Since you are quite passionate of cooking you would enjoy this cook . Piaju is nothing but Lentil fritters and is an explosion of flavours . Quite easy to make and you could try to cook it at home An authentic Biryani will always taste good and glad you enjoyed the Lamb Biryani. The lamb looks to be quite succulent and juicy . I love the Hilsa fish and it’s one of my most favourite sea food items . Once you taste the Hilsa or Elish it would be your go to fish if you could find some authentic restaurants that offer it . Your expressions, review , happiness after tasting the Hilsa fish is pleasing to watch . That was my expression when I tried the Hilsa for the first time ; was speechless 😋 Thoroughly enjoyed this Vlog and so happy you loved the experience 👌👌 Take care , stay safe and healthy. God bless 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I recommend u to try Rajasthani food called as Rajasthani thali.

Thank you for honoring my cuisine, Jessica. I'm a little disappointed you didn't have any Bengali desserts. Bengal is famous throughout India for its desserts! By the way, you are the most amazing salsa dancer I've ever seen!

Lots of love and respect from west Bengal

Your review are just awesome

Instead of basmati rice, just try brown rice with fish or chicken curry. In south India, we use Basmati rice for cooking biriyani, pulav, or something like that flavoured rice recipes. For eating plain rice, we use other rice like brown rice.

It's not only Bangladeshi food it also eat in India buddy in the west Bengal state plz try Bengali food it's ossam🥺💗

"More bones, means more flavour" that essentially summarizes the fact. Reason why bengalis all over the world (from bangladesh or from Indian state of bengal) are so so fond of sweet water fishes full of bones.

how about an Indian snacks taste testing vlog...i'm talking Thums up/Limca, Kurkure, Uncle Chipps, Nut Cracker (yup there's a peanut snack by that name in India) 😄

Love this food! Great video as usual guys !!! Cant wait to come and try this restaurant :)

Yes its Bangladesh national dish but in India we also eat those dishes in our home whether bangoli or not. "Elish macher jhul" we call that.

Hey Jessica, I'm from the Indian part of Bengal ie West Bengal. If you actually want to taste real bengali food, Go to an "Indian" Bengali restaurant. The Bengali food from Bangladesh has been heavily influenced by their muslim culture post partition and I wouldn't call it authentic "Bengali' per se. Its mostly beef. You will be amazed to find the difference between food of Bangladesh and the original Bengal which is now the west West Bengal of India. Bengali food is mellow but extremely fragrant and flavourful. Plus actual bengali food has a ton of vegetarian dishes cooked with subtle fragrant spices and of course a huge variety of fish preparations to cater to the Bengalis obsession with fish. What you had was basically Bangladeshi food and not Indian food from Bengal. Trust me . Its that different. Loved your video anyways.♥

Jhol or tarkari word is used for thin soup in almost all of india except south ,and some western states

Mong ki dal kai pakore looking awesome 👏 I will tru them in my vidoe 🤪

Love From Kolkata, India 🇮🇳 ❤

We Bengalis of India eat fish curry everyday ☺ it can be cooked with different curry (jhol),procedure , ingredient spice also..

You can tour Kolkata (West Bengal) in India. It has the same cuisine to offer that you had here. Bangladesh was previously part of Bengal Province in India before partition 🙂

First of all i want to thank you for choosing the authentic Bengali food.you are rock.you know the nerve of all subscriber.awaiting for million subscribers.

Indian history is all full of science, there is a long list of treasure to be explored, no wonder Indians inventing a 0 for the whole world. Sanathana dharma is far beyond any ones mind. Happy being an Indian.

You have too try Rasgulla in dessert

Bengali food is quite different from traditional Punjabi and South Indian. The bengali pani puri version is called phuchka. You should try it. Similar but very different. Bengal is famous for sweets and spicy dishes. You have to try Rasgulla, Mishti Doyi, Egg roll too.

Really Bengali food and Bengali people are awesome.

Whenever you come to India please do visit Kolkata and try some of the amazing authentic Bengali dishes and also don't forget to try the very famous Kolkata Biriyani.... Love watching your videos😍 You can definitely refer to BONG EATS(RU-vid channel) for recipes of some authentic Bengali dishes..

As much as you were exited to try Ilish , i was more exited to see you tackle the fish..haha...yes Ilish is our fav fish ...its soft and buttery fish...best preparation is fried, with Mustard seeds, and smoked...

Come to Kolkata West Bengal,India during winter my granny's duck kosha country chicken kosha and pork kosha is fabulous you will definitely loved it

Fresh coriander, garlic, green chilly, red chilly powder, turmeric powder salt require for fish curry with coconut milk small quantity good results

Yup that's the right description. "Bengali food is insanely good!"

Your assessment of Bengali food is right on the money. Great job in presenting the cuisine. It certainly is one of the spiciest food but also one of the tastiest in the world. You should visit Bangladesh one day. They also cook a biryani called Kacchi Biryani. That biryani is to die for.

If you can , try chingri malai curry ( prawn with coconut milk ) next time with plain rice .. btw I just have found your video & it's too good.. ❤️

Please try ilish jhol without potato or anything else. Ilish has its own flavour. Coriander leaves or other spices that has strong flavour will decrease ilish's identity.

Kudos to you braving fish bones and all. M from Calcutta and lady ur almost a Bengali in my eyes 🙂🙂❤️❤️

Half of Bengal is in India. You should try some Bengali style biryani from Calcutta you’ll be blown away.

Bengali food is always special and so close to my heart if I'm having a bad day.. Ill go have bengali food from Kolkata

what a great soul , thankyou jessica for showing our culture to world

It is so pleasant to watch you eat. May God bless you in whatever you do.

I will cook Bengali food today. *goes on to play Rajasthani track*

Thank you for eating the Biryani with your hands, hands are the way to go to enjoy the dish much more. I eat everything with my hands.

Bengali food is the best food in the world. Love from India❤🇮🇳

You must try more bengali food there are many dishes in bengali cuisines, you'll surely love it 😊

Take love from west bengal(India) 💓

Thank you for eating with hand..... It tastes better with hand and it is like culture to us....

The biriyani from East is actually very different from what was served to you...try the Nawabi/Bengali biriyani...it is a major deviation from the other versions..

Whether it's Bangladesh or West Bengal India food is same (similar) traditional. Fantastic food vlog

Hi Dear in India you can visit Kolkata which is a Bengal state of India you will get authentic bengali food and Anglo Indian cuisine as Kolkata has a rich British bengali heritage so you can get the taste of both ends

On a plate never ever pour the soup of the fish on fish but on the rice to get the right flavour

When it comes to fish, Bongs are second only to cats, so when a Bong says it's the best fish, the best fish it is. I don't think one would come across anyone who would rate any fish above Ilish/Hilsa after one has tasted it. It's bones are a good deflector, for Bongs get to have it in plenty else the world would be chasing it like crazy, and this fish is very seasonal and very limited in supply. For people afraid of bones, a good way to have Ilish/Hilsa is to have it deep-fried. A good Ilish/Hilsa would still taste great but the bones would be much crispier and easily chewable. Anyways, Bengali Fish Cuisine is on just another level, but only open to those who dare, those who can dare the bones, and then it's a multiverse of taste and health. :)

Love to see you are eating by hand. Thanks for not using spoon

Finally! Bengali dishes ❤️🌚

The title should have been traditional Bengali food from Bengal. Thanks for the video 📸

Lots of love from West Bengal, India

Bengali food is very famous specially Bengali fish cutlet....

6:23 whenever u see this kind of watery gravy;well, its supposed to be like that; and its not excessively watery; its called a "CURRY" ; to be specific, a fish curry; unlike, the "gravy" you will find especially in punjabi owned restaurants(mostly in canada, u will find punjabi owned restaurants); they add thick cashew paste in everything; lol.

Coriander leaves on biriyani?? Seems out of place for such a delicate dish. You may choose to use it alternatively as a sauce or with a drink to counter the oils & richness. Glad you liked our cuisine!! Nomoshkar!! PS: If you do visit Bengal(not just Kolkata), do visit it in October - the whole city and most of the state turns into a giant food fest for a week(kind of like Oktoberfest, with food and the spirit of Durga Puja in place of Beer).

The thing about Ilish is that the fish tastes even better during the monsoon season and the taste enhances when fried in mustard oil.

Love u guys. Trying our food. Sooooo happy. Muuua.

Bengali street foods Singhaada (Samosa), aloo chop, jhaal moori, are out of this world.

Beautiful videos keep up the good work🇹🇹

Elish is actually a very very expensive fish.

Why are you offering apology? Only for getting a few more subscribers from India, you edited the caption but All of the dishes are Bangladeshi. Even you can't find "Piyaju" in India. They call it "Piyaji" and it doesn’t look and taste like "piyaju". The broth of Ilish curry of India is not as light and flavorful as that of Bangladesh. And Bangladesh biryani is more wet while Kolkata Biryani is so dry and you can count each rice grain. The girl serves you is a Muslim girl from Bangladesh.

Musur Daler Bora/ Bengali style Lentil fritters is one of the most popular snacks in Bengal. This is easy to cook. My mother cooks this recipe and it's very nutritious.We enjoy this recipe over a cup of tea.If you want to make it then you need this thing-Split red lentils,Onion, Green Chillies,Fresh coriander leaves (cilantro),Ginger,Amchur(mango powder),Refined soyabean oil,Turmeric powder,Red chilli powder,Salt. You can add more spices as you like. At First Soak the lentils in hot water for one hour. Drain the water completely. Now in a mixer, put lentils, finely chopped ginger, pinch of turmeric and salt as per taste.Pulse it till it become a medium coarse paste. Now take out the lentil mixture in a bowl, add chopped onions, chopped green chillies,chopped coriander leaves,little bit of red chilli and mango powder.Mixed it well then in a pan, pour enough refined oil for deep frying.Scoop the mixture using a spoon or hand and carefully place it in hot oil. Do not overhit the pan. Fry it till golden brown from all sides. Slot them out on a kitchen tissue paper.

Hi Jessica…we are overwhelmed to see you videos and passion about our Indian food!! We are also Bengali and staying in Milwaukee, WI. It’s our open invitation to you for visiting our home and hope you’ll enjoy our home made Bengali food 😀

Yes we like to eat biryani in West Bengal all Bengali are heavily like Biryani but this is not our part of Indian Bengali food Indian Bengali food a start from the plane white rice and shukto shukto means the Bengali starter curry with lots of vegetables and coconut milk and after we eat fish curry mutton curry and chicken and at least the last one it is the sweet because you Bengali like to eat sweet that we added Mishti doi and rasgulla 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Love Bengali food.

Elish curry is always delightful

Enjoy👍 no worries

Your voice is so cute. Like cute baby girl

Plzzzz try Goan Fish food , u will enjoy ... ❤️

I just had Elish jhol for my lunch.. And then got notification for your video. The way you had put the fish along with the bones in your mouth, even I dont have that confidence. I separate the bones first. Hope you ate the Elish egg which was in the middle.
