Recipes From Bangladesh



Bangladeshi cuisine is regionally varied. Throughout the country, however, rice and lentils are staples, with many varieties of lentils being made into delicious, thick sauces called dal. With the Bay of Bengal to the south and abundant lakes and rivers in the north, fish is a major source of protein in Bangladesh. Meat dishes are much favored, as are vegetable curries, and Bangladeshi cuisine reflects a great variety of native herbs and spices, including garlic, ginger, coriander, cumin, tumeric, and chile peppers. Cardamom and cinnamon are used in sweet dishes.
