The fertile delta, the magnificent Bengal tiger, exotic curries and tasty ‘rosogolla’ sweet dishes, and many more world famous wonders are part and parcel of Bengal, the north eastern state of India. Bengalis, the native people of Bengal are very particular about the food they eat and hence recognised world over as the people ‘who live to eat’. River Ganga (Ganges) flows through the region and provides the source of fish and rice – the staple food of Bengal.
