I have been living in India for many years and to be honest ,the food here never fails to satisfy the hunger.
Elish jhol always tastes good with plain rice & if you go through the history of India before independence Bangladesh was not even born as it was a part of India but after independence Pakistan & after that Bangladesh gained independence from Pakistan so the cuisines are almost the same for Pakistan & Bangladesh
My apologies, my editor made a mistake on the title. The restaurant wasn't from Bangladesh, this is Bengali food. We just changed the title. Thanks for commenting :)
@@alfonsoandjessica Bangladesh Pakistan were part of India before independence of India
Looks deli🤤cious and what kind of fish you use to prepare Elish jhol ??? 🥘 🤤🤤🤤👌
@@kristelfiore1330 Its called Hilsa, and is from Herring family of fishes. Elish/ilish is just a bengali name for Hilsa. Jhol is basically a simple and light curry/gravy.
@@kristelfiore1330 why you like fish, it has so many bones 😭😭
Bengali cuisines isn't only of Bangladesh, it's rooted to West Bengal and some parts of Assam as well.
The heart of bengali cuisine is actually in odisha. As many dish were inspired by odia cooks who were popular and used to be hired by zamindars of Bengal.
The Bengali food came from Maughal , Turkey and Persia because many Muslim emperors came Bangladesh with their foods and ruled 300 hundred years. These are Muslim people foods.
@@sarthakdas89 It is wrong. please read the history and you will know that.
@@subraahmed1143 Bengali food has its origin long before the Mughals came. Moreover, Bengali food is quite different from the Mughal tastes. The Mughal food is more inclined towards meat whereas Bengali food is famous for its preparation of fishes. The north Indian food is influenced from the Mughals.
@@subraahmed1143 no. You would be surprised how many dish that you consider bengali food is actually a food of odisha including sweets like rasogola. Odia cooks were extremely popular in rich bengali families. And with the cooks the cuisine also went there. Mughal cuisine is completely different. They dont use mustard paste, poshto and many other ingredients that's present heavily in bengali cuisine but these are a part of odia cuisine since ages. If you're just talking about the biryanis or kormas then sure that would be the mughal influence but that's not what's cooked in homes . In homestyle cooking only mutton dishes may have been inspired by the mughals. But most homely food like mishti pulav and all came from odia cooks hired by bengalis. The mughal influence mostly went to Bangladesh.
Bengal is not entirely Bangladeshi. West Bengal is a state in India with Kolkata being it's capital and the people are mostly Bengali. Other states in India also have a good Bengali population.
A shout out to all the Bengalis here!! Yuhu!
Bengali food will open a whole new dimension if you try each and every delicacy!!Apart from non vegetarian food we have a wide range rather immense range of vegetarian or vegan options which most of the other part in Indian doesn't even know, let alone the world. Try to watch the channel Bong Eats and you will be mesmerized ❤️❤️😘🤗!
I just love how you are so open to welcome every indian cuisine!! 🤗🤗
Cheers from Bengal, India
thank you! alot of people have recommended Bong Eats, I'll check it out thank you!
correct...Bengal cannot be beat. Bengalis r the only people in India who have great vegetarian, seafood/fresh water fish and meat dishes. The Sweets are out of this world.
As a Bengali love to see this vlog, lots of love and blessing 😇from Kolkata, India.
thank you!
Wow…I was traveling in Bangladesh from 1st Aug till 12th Aug and I was having Elish almost everyday 😀 it’s my favorite fish and Bangladesh is the biggest Elish producer & Exporter in the world….BTW our today’s menu is also Elish 😅 in lunch in my house in Kolkata. India 🇮🇳
lucky you! it is super delicious :)
@@alfonsoandjessica come to India and you will float into real Flavors…and must visit city is Kolkata where you get almost all India cuisines 💕
well bangaladeshi food is a little different than food in west bengal... I am from west Bengal and we love our mustard and poppy seeds.... but its very very difficult to get authentic dishes outside of our state let alone country
Try seabus steamed in musterd sauce wrapped in banana leaf. its dish without bones( name - bhetki paturi ) bengali dish
Bengal will always amaze everyone with it's delicious food...love from kolkata ♥️
We agree!
In India some people eat fish with bone and they can actually separate bone in mouth and same time enjoy fish they are so talented 🙋
wow!! That's crazy haha
It's the rarest of the Indian food. it's Very Different from the other cuisines which ARE EASILY AVAILABLE through out the country. Really yummy.😊 Bengali food is NOT easily FOUND in other states of India. U Lucky.👍🏼
Lol, its found in Odisha as well, fish curry, piazi and numerous recipes are common to Odisha and WB. The spices and way of preparation is also similar
Love this food! Great video as usual guys !!! Cant wait to come and try this restaurant :)
Your review are just awesome
Thanks a ton
Im a edien i love india who els loves india love you india
I live in Bangladesh, it's nice to see more and more foreigners liking our cuisine.
Bengali people are as sweet as a rasgulla. who all agree.Sweetest one ever.
"Ami tomoke bhalobashi" is the first thing i learnt from Bengal, these guys are as chubby and sweet as rasogulla. Love the guys from deep of my heart, 20 yrs back my best friends were pakuli and baboi. Though i dont know the meaning of their names but can never forget the food i had at their home.
You should try the traditional steamed hilsha curry with mustard paste. The mustard steam hilsha is the best hilsha recipe.
You are truly blessed-you can breeze through bony fish- without this ability you cannot do justice to Bengali fish💯
I’ve never tried Bengali food before, everything looks great but the biryani looks fantastic 😍
it was amazzzzing!! you gotta try it!
If u ever happen to be inBombay, please visit Oh Calcutta, it’s a chain of award winning restaurant serving Bengali fare. U will not be disappointed
Lots of love and respect from west Bengal
what a great soul , thankyou jessica for showing our culture to world
The Bengali cuisine is one of the best in South Asia, also try their clothing and may apply Heena too, you'll love it
I'm a Bengali from Kolkata India and wanna see more Bengali vlog from you 😍✌️😌
Happy that you have finally tried Bengali food. It will never disappoint you. Though traditional Bengali biryani doesn’t look like this but definitely that ilish and piyaji looks traditional. Most of the Bengali food is cooked in mustard oil so it will give you a kick and you will definitely enjoy it. Looking forward to more of this kind of videos. Cheers :)
im going to make the Piyaji at home! It was too good! stay tuned :)
@খাঁটি বাঙাল ও খাঁটি ভারতীয় yes
As a Bengali residing in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, am so happy to see you try our cuisine. It is one of the least exposed tasty cuisine of India to the outside world. Ilish jhol, Kolkata style biryani and peyaji (onion fritters) are also popular in Kolkata and Bangladesh and Kolkata share almost 80% commonality in cuisine. BTW, Bengali cuisine is mostly cooked in mustard oil, the second most healthy cooking oil after olive oil. Make Kolkata style biryani, which is very different from Bangladesh style biryani, less spices and very flavourful. Refer BONG EATS channel for recipe and direction.
thank you!
That's not your cuisine! That's Bangladeshi cuisine!

As a bengali from india (West bengal ) I am feeling very happy ...that u tried our authentic bengali foods!
Thank you for honoring my cuisine, Jessica. I'm a little disappointed you didn't have any Bengali desserts. Bengal is famous throughout India for its desserts! By the way, you are the most amazing salsa dancer I've ever seen!
Bangladesh and West Bengal ( A state of eastern India) have lot of similarities in their cuisine as Bengalis live in these areas. Bengali is the 2nd most spoken language in India after Hindi. You can try following Bengali dishes. I hope you will enjoy.
Bengali bread - Luchi , Korai Shutir Kachuri, Radhaballavi etc. with aloor dom (kind of potato curry)/ cholar dal
Bengali Veg dishes- Chhanar Kopta, Potol dorma, Dhokar dalna, Enchor, Alu posto, Sukto, Mochar torkari etc.
Bengali Non veg dishes- Mutton/ chiken/ Lamb/ pork Kosha, Vetki Paturi, Chitol Muitha, Chingri Malaicurrry, Ilish Vapa
Bengali snacks - Singara, Vegetable chop, Kabiraji Pokara, chiken/fish Cutlet, butter fish fry, Egg mutton devil, Nimki etc.
Dessert - Bengali sweets are best in India. Try Rosogolla, baked rosogolla, Pantua, Sita Bhog, different type of Sondesh, Misiti Doi etc.
oh wow, thank you! I will try to find these dishes :)
We Bangladeshi Bengali food and culture far different from West Bengal and india
Eat cow dung in india
There is lot of dissimilarities Between West Bengal and Bangladesh too. And you have missed beef as non-veg item.
@@swarnendughosh5721
Yes some similarity and sone difference.. not all…
Beautiful videos keep up the good work🇹🇹
I think you miss One Item that is POSTO Bengali dish is incomplete without posto.
I wish next time you try Bengali dishes with Posto(Poppy seeds) that feels heavenly...
Omg...At last. Good to see you tried awesome bengali food. Lot of love from kolkata(india🇮🇳)🙏❤😘😍
Thank you so much 😀
The thing about Ilish is that the fish tastes even better during the monsoon season and the taste enhances when fried in mustard oil.
Love u guys. Trying our food. Sooooo happy. Muuua.
It's not only Bangladeshi food it also eat in India buddy in the west Bengal state plz try Bengali food it's ossam🥺💗
You are right, my editor made a mistake on the title. It was Bengali food :) we just changed the title now
You have too try Rasgulla in dessert
I recommend u to try Rajasthani food called as Rajasthani thali.
Ok I will look for this next time, thank you :)
It is so pleasant to watch you eat. May God bless you in whatever you do.
Thank you so much! :)
Lots of love from West Bengal, India
Really Bengali food and Bengali people are awesome.
"More bones, means more flavour" that essentially summarizes the fact. Reason why bengalis all over the world (from bangladesh or from Indian state of bengal) are so so fond of sweet water fishes full of bones.
The fact you ate all those bones without getting any stuck in your throat daimnn. I was getting all anxious about this
First of all i want to thank you for choosing the authentic Bengali food.you are rock.you know the nerve of all subscriber.awaiting for million subscribers.
thank you!!
When you are making Bengali food try macher jhol /fish curry Bengali style, kosha mangsho, we have so many pakora like things it's call Bora you can make it with any vegetables or meat/fish or flower petals, Bengali style chicken curry, or simple alo mola (smashed potatoes with onion,spice , chili , salt and mustard oil) with dal .
thank you! I'd love to make some of these dishes!
Love From Kolkata, India 🇮🇳 ❤
Your assessment of Bengali food is right on the money. Great job in presenting the cuisine. It certainly is one of the spiciest food but also one of the tastiest in the world. You should visit Bangladesh one day. They also cook a biryani called Kacchi Biryani. That biryani is to die for.
Happy to see you that you like indian food
Bengali food is always special and so close to my heart if I'm having a bad day.. Ill go have bengali food from Kolkata
Wow mouth watering... Recipe thank you so much. From India.
Jhol or tarkari word is used for thin soup in almost all of india except south ,and some western states
Yes its Bangladesh national dish but in India we also eat those dishes in our home whether bangoli or not. "Elish macher jhul" we call that.
Elish curry is always delightful
Love Bengali food.
Mong ki dal kai pakore looking awesome 👏 I will tru them in my vidoe 🤪

You can tour Kolkata (West Bengal) in India. It has the same cuisine to offer that you had here. Bangladesh was previously part of Bengal Province in India before partition 🙂
thank you! next year :)
Greater Sultanate Bengal. How Bangladesh was part of India?
@@shahinahmad9695 read history!
Bdw you know Bengali transcript?
Where d it come from?
Just try to read where the Kalinga and Bengal were
Where is vanga desh in indian history before thousands of yrs!
When Bangladeshis left Their original Mahakaali and when Allah is Added in Bengal!
And when I am talking about Bangladesh than I m talking about the pure Bengalis! Not any Arabian nights follower!?
Where are they!

Thank you! :)
Thank you for eating with hand..... It tastes better with hand and it is like culture to us....
Thank you very much my brother for sharing a very good video 🙏 full support for you my brother ❤ hope you are always healthy and happy brother ❤🌹🌺🌸🏵🌼🌻🤝🙏
thank you!
Hi Jessica…we are overwhelmed to see you videos and passion about our Indian food!! We are also Bengali and staying in Milwaukee, WI. It’s our open invitation to you for visiting our home and hope you’ll enjoy our home made Bengali food 😀
Since you already started eating Indian food with your hands I'm gonna share some tips to improve your game- When your mix your rice with the gravy and start to lift close the gaps between your fingers(except the thumb), there must be no gaps when lifting. Then when you push the food with your thumb use the back of the thumb i.e. the nail part. You'll end up with less messy hands. The art of eating with your hands is very subtle and we perfected it from birth so you can see me eating and not even see food on the back of my hand(the part that's on camera lol).
ohhhh thank you! ya it kinda gets messy for me.. I'll try your tip next time! Thank you for taking time to write us a comment :)
The title should have been traditional Bengali food from Bengal. Thanks for the video 📸
Plzzzz try Goan Fish food , u will enjoy ... ❤️
Good morning Jessica. . The owner was quite sweet enough to let you visit their store as well . Bangladeshi food is similar to what we get in West Bengal and also other parts of India 🇮🇳 It would be wonderful to watch you cook an authentic Bengali Biryani along with the Hilsa fish with curry . Since you are quite passionate of cooking you would enjoy this cook . Piaju is nothing but Lentil fritters and is an explosion of flavours . Quite easy to make and you could try to cook it at home An authentic Biryani will always taste good and glad you enjoyed the Lamb Biryani. The lamb looks to be quite succulent and juicy . I love the Hilsa fish and it’s one of my most favourite sea food items . Once you taste the Hilsa or Elish it would be your go to fish if you could find some authentic restaurants that offer it . Your expressions, review , happiness after tasting the Hilsa fish is pleasing to watch . That was my expression when I tried the Hilsa for the first time ; was speechless 😋 Thoroughly enjoyed this Vlog and so happy you loved the experience 👌👌 Take care , stay safe and healthy. God bless 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thankyou for your comment! :):)
@@alfonsoandjessica You are most welcome and quite happy to note that you changed the title of the Vlog . It now resonates well with the content . I would really like you to try cooking the Lentil Fritters at home , at your convenience.
I will for sure make that recipe at home! It was too good! Stay tune :)
@@alfonsoandjessica Awesome and take care and lots of love and hugs to Alfonso ❤️❤️
Yup that's the right description. "Bengali food is insanely good!"
100%!!
On a plate never ever pour the soup of the fish on fish but on the rice to get the right flavour
U remind me of my mother's cooking Ilish macher jhool... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for trying Bengali Cuisine 🧡🤍💚
I just had Elish jhol for my lunch.. And then got notification for your video. The way you had put the fish along with the bones in your mouth, even I dont have that confidence. I separate the bones first.
Hope you ate the Elish egg which was in the middle.
Welcome to india . Hoping soon u r coming india for exploring millions of dishes and cusuins.
Love from India 🙏
Bengali food is quite different from traditional Punjabi and South Indian.
The bengali pani puri version is called phuchka.
You should try it. Similar but very different.
Bengal is famous for sweets and spicy dishes.
You have to try Rasgulla, Mishti Doyi, Egg roll too.
Oria, bihari, Assamese and bengali food are very similar
@@riyaagarwal5474 no bihari food is very different in taste & orissa is close & assam is although close but still different & more pork dependent. Nepali basic dishes are also close.
Hey thumps up boy😋😋😘
We Bengalis of India eat fish curry everyday ☺ it can be cooked with different curry (jhol),procedure , ingredient spice also..
Bengali food is very famous specially Bengali fish cutlet....
Thank you for eating the Biryani with your hands, hands are the way to go to enjoy the dish much more. I eat everything with my hands.
Thank you! :)
Wow 🤗
Whenever you come to India please do visit Kolkata and try some of the amazing authentic Bengali dishes and also don't forget to try the very famous Kolkata Biriyani....
Love watching your videos😍
You can definitely refer to BONG EATS(CZcams channel) for recipes of some authentic Bengali dishes..
ohhhhh Kolkata Biriyani! Sounds amazing! thank you!
Yeah, its really good!
If you can , try chingri malai curry ( prawn with coconut milk ) next time with plain rice .. btw I just have found your video & it's too good.. ❤️
I Will try! Thank you :)
wow, your reaction mindblowing
Thank you! :)
Half of Bengal is in India. You should try some Bengali style biryani from Calcutta you’ll be blown away.
