Book excerpt: Why is the Bengali region of India a source for such exotic dishes? What makes their recipes so special?The Bengali cuisine is as distinct and rich as the state herself. Their foods have been influenced deeply by Nawab rule, which teaches the use of fiery and subtle flavor combinations. European influences have added to the foods like cutlets and chops, which are prepared in many households in the Bengal region. The western areas of Bengal are known for their rice and fish dishes. They are staples in almost all households. There are many rivers in the area, so fresh water fish, like koi and rohu, are quite popular. The oily ilish fish is well-known and often used, too. Many local vegetables find their way into Bengali dishes. They include largely roots, tubers and gourds. In addition, beans, potatoes and plantains dominate Bengal's menu. The cuisine of Bengal is a rich blend of spicy and sweet flavors. Balancing the two and using various seasonings is important. Even simple meals gain a fresh identity by the use of pungent spice mixes from the area. Bengali food is rich and unique - try some recipes today!

Book excerpt: The Vibrant Flavors of Bengali Cuisine Brought to Your Home Kitchen Bengali native Kankana Saxena captures the wealth of intoxicating dishes and depths of favor that are fundamental to the Bengali community with savory stews, fragrant rice dishes, zesty spice blends and iconic street foods. Each recipe preserves the authenticity of traditional Indian cuisine but with a modern approach specific to the Eastern region—such as Chicken Shingara, which is similar to an Indian samosa but in Kolkata they’re smaller, spicier and deep-fried. There’s Chaana Kaju Torkari, which features paneer (Indian cottage cheese) that is rolled into dumplings for a hearty stew. Meanwhile, Fulkobi Aachaar reinvents Indian spiced cauliflower as a show-stopping pickled condiment. Brimming with culinary tradition and adventure, this rich collection of recipes transports you to the bustling streets of Kolkata, where the food is as fun to make as it is to eat.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indian diaspora is the largest diasporic movement from Asia, with the Indian community numbering over twenty-five million around the world. Its large scale encompasses a kaleidoscopic community from disparate regions, languages, cultural heritages, religions, and traditions within the subcontinent. The many peoples of the Indian diaspora have growing social and economic impacts on their new homes, but maintain their cultural bonds with India. This volume offers a thorough analysis of the diasporic practices of the Indian communities in essays covering a number of fields, such as literature, cultural studies, and film studies. The contributors deal with the Indian diaspora’s historical and contemporary connotations, its theoretical framework, the cultural hybridizations that emerge from diaspora, and other topics touching on the cultural and social effects of the spread of Indian peoples around the globe.
