Etymology
The term "Bengali" in Bengali cuisine refers to the ethno-linguistic group native to the Bengal region, while "cuisine" is a French word that means "kitchen", but is generally used to indicate the type of food served in a restaurant or a recipe's cooking style.
Overview
Bengali cuisine is known for its subtle (yet sometimes fiery) flavours, and its spread of confectioneries and desserts. It also has the only traditionally developed multi-course tradition from the Indian subcontinent that is analogous in structure to the modern service à la russe style of French cuisine, with food served course-wise rather than all at once.
Ingredients
Bengali cuisine uses a variety of spices and herbs, including turmeric, cumin, coriander, fenugreek, ginger, garlic, onion, chili pepper, mustard seed, cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves. Rice and fish are traditional favorite foods, leading to a saying in Bengali, "machhe bhate bangali", that translates as "fish and rice make a Bengali".
