Ask a Bengali and you will get to know what fish means to him. Bengalis eat fish when they are happy. They eat fish when they are sad. They eat fish during Durga Puja, when rest of the country is having vegetarian food. Bengalis eat fish when they are getting married. In short, you cannot take fish apart from a Bengali - they eat it everyday and it is their ultimate comfort food. In my house, fish is an everyday affair, yes, you heard it right, everyday. Nothing in this world gives me more comfort than Mach Bhat (fish curry with steamed rice). For every mood, for every situation, amidst of all other delicious dishes, I choose fish first. Bori or Lentil Dumpling is another widely used ingredient in Bengali kitchen. We prepare both veg and non-veg dishes with bori. This dish is where I paired fish with bori and has a running stew. Words fall short to describe how much I love this dish.
