From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bangladeshi cuisine refers to the food and culinary traditions prevalent in
Bangladesh . Dating far in the past, the cuisine emphasizes fish, vegetables and lentils served with rice. Because of differences in history and Bangladeshi geography, the cuisine is rich in regional variations. While having unique traits, Bangladeshi cuisine is closely related to that of surrounding Bengali and North-East Indian, with rice and fish as traditional favorites. Bangladesh also developed the only multi-course tradition in
South Asia . It is known as Bangaliketa styled cuisine. Bangladeshi food is served by course rather than all at once.
