BANGLADESH. TEA SHOPS, DESHI PASTRIES, SWEETS AND SNACKS

Sweets from Bengal are well known across the world, fattening, may be; delicious, certainly.

But whilst in towns and cities there are shops aplenty retailing these traditional snacks and sweet-meals, it is the ubiquitous Tea Shops where the best of Deshi pastries and snacks are to be found, and relished.

  1. always ask them to give some 'jhol' while ordering puri or moglai paratha. Jhol, which means gravy made out of beef, mutton or chicken stalk works as a delicious dip to go with these delicious fried pastries...
