Bengali food, mostly is talked about Mach- Bhat (fish and rice) payesh and Roshogolla (Kheer and Rasgulla) however, there are several vegetarians as well as vegan options available which are part of Bengali cuisine.
Jhuri Aloo Bhaja
Ever thought that true blue Bengali Jhuri Aloo bhaja is actually vegan as we use only potato, peanuts and curry leaves to make it.
How can we forget one of the famous Bengali delicacies, Aloo Posto? If you check the ingredients used; potato, green chili, poppy seed paste and mustard oil, you will realize it actually is vegan.
The perfect companion of Aloo Posto is also Vegan. I am talking about Kolai-er dal aka Biulir dal, a Bengali delicacy cooked with white lentil and tempered with fennel seed.
Last but not the least Khosha Bhaja, a Bengali stir-fry prepared with the veggie peels. The peels which we mostly discard can be used in making this Bengali Vegan delicacy.
