Bangladeshi cuisine has been shaped by the region's history and river-line geography. Bangladesh has a tropical monsoon climate. The staple of Bangladesh is rice and fish.[1] The majority of Bangladeshi people are ethnic Bengali, accustomed to Bengali cuisine, with a minority of non-Bengalis, many used to cuisines from different traditions and regions.[2][3][4]

History

[edit]

Bangladeshi culinary habits were strongly influenced by the cuisine of the area's Mughal rulers. This includes rich, aromatic dishes such as biriyani and korma that require the use of a large array of spices along with a great deal of ghee. Dhaka was the Mughal capital of the Bengal Subah and a major trading center in South Asia. Traders, immigrants and visitors brought culinary styles from around the world, which influenced the city's cuisine. After Dhaka became the capital of East Bengal, Persian, Turkish and Arabic-influenced dishes became popular.[5] Black pepper and chui jhal were used to add spiciness before chili was introduced from the Americas.[6]

Culinary style and influences

[edit]

Rice is the staple food of Bangladesh,[1] while fish is the most common source of protein in Bangladesh.[1] There are 250 plant-based ingredients in Bangladeshi cooking.[1] The use of mustard oil is common.[7]

The Nawabs of Dhaka brought Mughlai cuisine to Bengal. Mughlai cuisine is often lavish and expensive, and was out of reach for many people up for many centuries, becoming more widespread as Bangladesh's economy grew. It is characterised by use of meat and dairy ingredients such as lamb, mutton, beef and yoghurt together with mild spices. Its dishes include kebab; stuffed breads; kacchi biriyani; roast lamb, duck, and chicken; patisapta; Kashmiri tea and korma are still served at special occasions like Eid and at weddings.[9][10][11]
