Bangladeshi cuisine (Template:Lang-bn) is the national cuisine of Bangladesh. Bangladeshi cuisine has been shaped by the diverse history and river-line geography of Bangladesh. The country has a tropical monsoon climate. The staple of Bangladesh is rice and fish.[1] The majority of Bangladeshi people are ethnic Bengali, who follow Bengali cuisine, with a minority of non-Bengalis with their own unique cuisine.[2][3][4] Bangladeshi food has more meat, especially beef, compared to West Bengal.[5][6]

History

Bangladeshi cuisine has over time been largely influenced by the Mughlai cuisine left behind by the Mughal rulers. This has led Bangladeshi cuisine to include many rich aromatic dishes such as biriyani and korma that require the use of a large array of spices along with an great deal of ghee. Dhaka being the Mughal capital of the Bengal Subah (which includes the modern Bangladesh and the Indian states of West Bengal) was a major trading center in South Asia, so many culinary styles from around the world influenced the city's cuisine. After Dhaka became the capital of East Bengal, the Bangladeshi populace began to adopt the cuisine of the city with many unknown Persian, Turkish and Arabic-influenced dishes becoming popular.[7]

The food used to be spiced with black pepper and chui jhal before the arrival of green chili from the Americas.[8]

Bangaliketa (etiquette)

Bangladeshi people follow certain rules and regulations while eating. It includes warm hospitality and particular ways of serving as well. This is known as Bangaliketa (Template:Lang-bn). The culture also defines the way to invite people to weddings and for dinner. Gifts are given on certain occasions. Bangaliketa also includes presentation of serving utensils in a proper manner.[9][better source needed]

Culinary style and influences

Rice is the staple food of Bangladesh,[1] while fish is the most common source of protein in Bangladesh.[1] There are 250 plant-based ingredients in Bangladeshi cooking.[1] The use of mustard oil is common.[5]

Specialties by region

Dhaka

Bakarkhani in Dhaka, Bangladesh

Dhakaiya food is one of the most notable regional cuisines. The rich culinary customs are influenced by Mughlai, Central Asian, Armenian, Hindustani and native Bengali cuisines. However, it also has dishes unique to Dhaka.[10] The Nawabs of Dhaka had brought Mughlai cuisine to Bengal, that were wholly retained by Dhaka's culinary community. Due to the high costs of producing Mughlai food, the recipes were limited to the elite classes in colonial India, and slowly expanded as Bangladesh's economy grew. The main focus on lamb, mutton, beef, yoghurt, and mild spices define the taste of the style. Such dishes as kebab; stuffed breads; kacchi biriyani; roast lamb, duck, and chicken; patisapta; Kashmiri tea; and korma are still served at special occasions like Eid and weddings.[11][12] Due to the high class of the food, using an excess amount of expensive ingredients like ghee, and making the food melt in one's mouth were essential to the feel of the food.[13]

Chowk Bazaar was one of the most famous business and social meeting centres of Dhaka in the Mughal period. During Romjan Chowk Bazaar is famous for its Iftar items which include Moghul cuisine and other traditional items. Almost 500 different types of Iftar are prepared for Holy Ramadan.[14][15][16] Dhakaiya paratha, a multi layered version, is popular in Dhaka and taken in Kolkata by refugees after the partition.[17]

The recipe includes highly seasoned rice, chevon, mustard oil, garlic, onion, black pepper, saffron, clove, cardamom, cinnamon, salt, lemon, doi (yogurt), peanuts, cream, raisin and small amount of cheese (either cow or buffalo). The recipe has been handed over the founder of the restaurant to his next generation.[18]

Bakarkhani or BaqarKhani, also known as bakar khani roti, is a thick, spiced flat-bread that is part of the Mughlai cuisine of the Indian subcontinent.

The Chittagong region is famous for spicy and hot curries – mainly of beef.[24] Mejbani Gosht is very popular and famous. Mezban is a Persian word literally meaning a host.[25] The word now means 'community feasting', a tradition that originated in Dhaka region. Mezban (locally known as Mejjan) is the Bengali word for special occasion feasts in the Chittagong region of Bangladesh.[26] Historically Mezbani is a traditional regional feast where people are invited to enjoy a meal with white rice and beef, besides other dishes rich in animal fat and dairy.[27] It is held on the occasions such as death anniversary, birth anniversary, celebrating successes, launching of a new business, entry into a new house, the birth of a child, marriage, aqiqah and circumcision, ear piercing of girls and naming of the newborn.[26][27] The invitation of the Mezban ceremony generally remains open for all and various people to different places and neighbourhoods convey the invitation for the feast. In urban areas, attending a mezban is by invitation only. Usually, the consumption of food at Mezbani takes place from morning to afternoon.[26]

Mezban preparations

Beef-based dishes are preferred by Bengali Muslims and are a symbol of social prestige for a Mezban feast.[27] The rich and the poor arrange feasts on various occasions as much as circumstances allow them. It has a distinct style of cooking and proper Mezban meat demands a certain skill;[27] for example: The unique beef curry served in this feast is known as Mezbani gosht, that carries a distinctive recipe, knowledge of which is essentially confined within the Chittagonian cooks.[28][26]

Fish is used instead of beef while cooking Mezban in Hindu tradition. The Hindu community of Chittagong organises Mezbani each year under the banner of "Chittagong Parishad", with curries made from fish, vegetable and dried fish.[26]

Blackened Beef/kala bhuna is one of the famous beef recipe from the Chittagong in Bangladesh.[29] The specialty of the recipe is its spices and the blacken beef.[29][30] Beef shoulder pieces are cooked with traditional spices till become dark and tender.[31] Kala buna and mejbani mangsho preparations are signature dishes of the port city Chittagong.[32]

Monda ,also known as Muktagachhar monda, is a traditional sweetmeat. The sweet, first made in 1824 by Gopal Pal in Muktagacha Upazila,[42][43] is reputed in Bangladesh for its originality, taste and flavor.[42][44] Gopal was originally from Murshidabad but moved to Rajshahi and from there to Muktagacha after the death of the Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah.[44]

The taste is similar to horseradish. It was use to make a dish hot before chili was imported from the Americas in the 16th century.[8]

Barisal, a coastal region, uses coconut in cooking.[59]

Sylhet Division

Seven colour tea

Seven-colour tea or seven-layer tea is a well-known hot beverage in Bangladesh.[66][67] Romesh Ram Gour invented the seven-layer tea after discovering that different tea leaves have different densities.[68][67] Each layer contrasts in colour and distinct taste, from syrupy sweet to spicy cloves. The result is an alternating dark/light band pattern throughout the drink giving the tea its name.

Biroin Bhat is one type of glutinous rice popular in Sylhet region. There is a special type of red-and-white sticky aromatic Biroin Rice is found only in the Sylhet region.[69] This aromatic biroin chaul is cooked and eaten with fried fish, meat or kebab, khirshah rasmalai, date molasses etc.[70][71] Biroin Chal is an organic rice cultivated in the highland of Sylhet and Chottogram.[72] It is the main ingredients for Chunga Pitha, a traditional rice cake in the Sylhet region.[73]

Dried and fermented fish called Hutki, and Hatkora, a bitter and fragrant citrus fruit are used for cooking curries. Even the extremely hot Naga Morich is used with broths.[74] The most savored local cuisines include Hidol or fermented fish chutney, Hutki Shira or dried fish curry, and various freshwater fish indigenous to this region.[75][76] It is thought by the locals that excessive spicy hotness of Hidol Chutney is a remedy for colds and headaches.[77]

Bangladesh-British restaurants

In the early 20th century sailors from Sylhet, known as Lascars, settled in England and from there spread to the rest of the country.[78] The bought fish and chip restaurants and developed them into full service Indian restaurants.[78] The cuisine was based on already established Anglo-Indian restaurants and Mughal Cuisine.[78] The restaurants were initially identified as either Indian or Pakistani restaurants.[78] There are 8000 "Indian restaurants" in Britain owned by Bangladeshis.[32]

n the United Kingdom, more than 8 out of 10 Indian restaurants are owned by Bangladeshis,[79] 95% of which come from Sylhet.[80] Sylhet is not known for its cuisine, though 80% to 90% British curry-house trace their roots directly to Sylhet.[81][82] Chefs from Sylhet region developed the British curry to a greater extent since the 1960s.[83] Chicken tikka masala, invented by the Sylhetis is regarded as Britain's National dish since 2001, by Britain's foreign secretary Robin Cook.[84][85] The birthday celebration of the British Prime Minister Tony Blair's daughter at a Bangladeshi restaurant proves the popularity of Sylheti cuisine.[86] Historian Lizzie Collingham, in her 2005 book Curry: A Biography, coined that the Sylheti curry cooks converted “unadventurous British palates” to a new flavour spectrum.[87]
