BENGAL TRADITIONS

In Bengal, no meal is truly complete without the presence of fish—a staple that defines the region’s cuisine. Nestled along the coast and crisscrossed by rivers, Bengal has a rich tradition of seafood, and its fish preparations are nothing short of legendary. But beyond its love for fish, Bengali cuisine also embraces the abundant local produce, with the banana plant playing a particularly important role in their culinary repertoire, from its fruit to its leaves.

In this class, you’ll explore the essence of Bengali cooking, learning how to use local spices and ingredients that are unique to this region’s palate. From mastering traditional techniques to balancing delicate flavours, you’ll create authentic Bengali dishes that celebrate the region’s love for fresh, wholesome ingredients.

Some of the dishes you'll cook include:

  • Steamed Mustard Fish in Banana Leaf

  • Lentils with Bengali Spices

  • Vegetable Sukhto
