Bong Eats B**g Eats is about food from Bengal. And that's not just Bengali food. At B**g Eats we document the food of Calcutta.
(9)

We cook traditional Bengali recipes prepared in home kitchens, as well as some of the most beloved dishes found in the myriad streets, cabins, and restaurants in the city. While we share some of the classic recipes with you (because who doesn’t love shorshe ilish, chingri malai curry, and mishti doi?), we also bring you a whole host of dishes that are considered too humble for guests. They are eaten in the privacy of our own families, and provide as much comfort as they do nutrition. With B**g Eats, we hope to demystify such preparations and make them accessible to just about anyone interested in cooking and eating.

বোয়াল মাছ আমার কাছে চিতলের চেয়েও সুস্বাদু মনে হয়। পেঁয়াজ-রসুন দিয়ে এই পাতলা ঝোলটাকে আমাদের বাড়িতে মাছের ঝোলই বলে, কিন্তু খুব সম্ভবতঃ এদেশীয়রা এটাকে মাছের ঝাল বলেন। ভুল বললে কমেন্টে জানিও। আমার ঠাকুমা এই ঝোলে কালো জিরের সঙ্গে একটা এলাচ আর দারচিনি দিতেন — বোয়ালে একটা আঁশটে গন্ধ থাকে বলে হয়তো। বেশির ভাগ বাড়িতে যদিও শুধু কালো জিরেই দেওয়া হয়। গরম মশলা দেয় না। কিন্তু আমি আমাদেরটাই দেখাচ্ছি।

Weekend meal prep: dimer kosha and Bengali fried rice. This was a couple of weeks back. I was in the middle of cooking when I realised the Bengali-style fried rice and dimer kosha recipes used our Gorom Moshla and Shahi Gorom Moshla, respectively, and rushed to get the camera for photos! How cute do they look side by side. As of last weekend, we are back in stock in India! So now the B**g Eats spices are officially on two continents 💪🏾 Get ’em here (India, Europe, UK): https://bongeats.com/spices.

Easy, delicious vindaloo: pork, ginger-garlic-chilli paste, vinegar-tamarind mixture, vindaloo masala, salt and some jaggery! Done! The sauce is sharp, tangy, full-bodied, and the meat has a pull-apart, tender texture that only comes from slow-cooking! All this achieved without having to stand by the stove and stir the pot! That's because we like to slow-cook the meat in a very low oven (130–150°C for 2 or 2.5 hours) with the lid slightly cracked open. Details on our website bongeats.com (just search "vindaloo").
