Durga Puja: Beyond Khichuri, Variety of Traditional Dishes

Durga Puja celebrations feature a variety of traditional dishes!

Instead of just khichuri, many families enjoy luchi with alur dum, basanti pulao with niramish mutton (cooked without onion and garlic), and more.

Dhokar Dalna (lentil cakes in curry) and Chanar Dalna (cottage cheese balls in curry) are also served.

For seafood lovers, fish dishes are common.

On the last day, panta bhaat (fermented rice) is eaten.

Plus, the celebrations include delicious sweets!
