The cuisine of Bengal is as rich and distinct as the state itself. West Bengal is not just about machh bhaat and the sweets. It has a lot more to it and is heaven for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian foodies. Bengalis love their food and like to have it served course-wise, instead of all at once, as it typically done in most other Indian regional cuisines. 


Lovers of non-vegetarian food and dahi bada will for gaga over this perfect marriage of minced meat and sweet and spicy curd. This is one of the less popular street foods of Bengal. It has a rich culture connection with one of the most famous Bengalis in the world- Nobel Laureate Rabindra Nath Tagore and his family. The dish was an original invention of the Thakurbari as the Tagore family is popular known, and was introduced to the world by Purnima Thakur, when she came into the possession of the Tagore family cookbook. To sample this beautiful dish, you can head to Bara Bazaar or Burra bazaar in Kolkata. 
Location: Kolkata, West Bengal, India

Punjab is one of the most prosperous states in India, and the food of Punjab attests to this in every morsel. Even though it is known as the breadbasket of India, we get so much more than just that in their cuisine. Down south, a lot of people think that most North Indians are Punjabi and you can't blame them given all the Punjabi influence in the culture up north! No matter what divides people, food has the power to unite us an Indians; especially the rich Punjabi food with its succulent taste and desi ghee. And with Pakistan being Punjab 's neighbour, a lot of Pakistani flavours have also seeped into the cuisine of Punjab giving it even more exotic flavour.  It's staple in every household in north India while also having a nostalgic connotation for most.
