History & Culture

The Story Behind the Dish

📍 West Bengal & Bangladesh📅 Traditional🐟 IN

In Bengal, a land of rivers and ponds, fish and rice are the heart of daily life — 'maach-bhaat' (fish and rice) is practically a definition of being Bengali.

Macher jhol is the lightest, everyday fish curry, cooked in countless homes for lunch and adjusted for the season and the catch.
