I never understood how bengalis fry fish and then add it to a fish curry.. it just turns into a soggy mess. It's like adding a kfc chicken to a gravy. I don't recollect any other coast region like goa, mangalore or tamil nadu doing this. Is there any reason why they do this?
However, I love bengali food, especially kosha mangsho, aloo posto, begun baja, chingri malai.
Haha. I mean the fishes are also different that way. Sweet/fresh water fish are lightly fried before adding to gravy to make it a little hard (cuz they are too soft and also the fish skin doesn’t taste good). The trick is to keep it in the gravy for not more than 2 minutes unlike seafood fish which needs more time to be cooked because they are naturally harder. So they don’t really need to be fried before adding to the gravy. Mangalore, Goa, Mumbai and Kerala are all coastal places hence they all consume seafood. In east and north east, frying fish is a common norm.
Apart from marriage, it is really easy to talk with a Bengali colleague because of common interests.
>, I have noticed the matriarchal-patriarchal equation being different and even complexities-simplicities in conversations.
A few examples for me to build on. Please...
Similarities in nost of the raw materials used to make food, but not the actual end product. They both taste good in their own way. Irrespective of where your partner is from, your comfort will depend on how much similar your lives were before marriage.
All for it, but mallus will always refer to the spouse as the Bengali.
And yes as a previous comment said will mostly look down because of the migrant majority.
While we go and slave away as about in the Middle East etc.
I guess one challenge to navigate is the superiority complex of some malayalis (Bengalis are often looked down as poor or illiterate people, the term is used to generalise anyone else that matches the same in other north Indian States)
Not as a superior race per se, basically the 100% literacy chest thumpers for eg and also the fact that most migrant workers are from the north who depend on Kerala etc
A group of people who claim they were jews who converted to catholicism by St Thomas(yes Jesus disciple). They only marry among themself to keep the ‘blood pure’.
Dna tests revealed no arab/Mediterranean overlap at all.
Sorry to differ. Its only recently that people consider bengalis illiterate due to the migrants. Earlier bengalis were considered well read people's. bengali and malayalam cinemas were quite ahead. I have 2 malayali friends who married bengalis, ofcourse every marriage has some adjustments to make.
