Rashmalai - no sugar added

There are hundreds of sweetmeat shops across the country famous for the items they produce. The northern part of Bangladesh is specially prominent for making good quality sweet dishes produced from milk.
If you ever go to Gaibandha sadar, you'll find these types of good shops in the town. But one shop is a bit different for its tasty 'Rashmalai' (some people call it 'Rashamanajari'). The specialty lies in the sweetness of the dish. Not a particle of sugar is added in it to sweeten. The sweetness you taste is made by condensing the key ingredient - cow milk. The condensed milk gives you a really outstanding flavour and color to the Rashmalai making it special to the people.

Dishes from Old Dhaka

The third week of Ramadan goes on. We've already experinced variety of iftar. Though more people are getting very conscious about health hazards recently, the appeal for spicy rich foods especially from the great old Dhaka is still on the top of the list. Old Dhaka offered hundreds of juicy and nostril-tickling flavored items with the traditional khandani gravity even for the iftar.

We may talk about the widely acclaimed iftar item - Boro Baper Polay Khai. Someone might be interested to ask for what the Boro Bap really is. It actually refers to the grandfather; and in some cases uncle (the elder brother of anyone's father). However, this hundred year old dish has a great reputation across the rich food taking community for its spicy-fleshy taste.
