Choitro Shonkrani- the lure of vegetarian food

There is the most common saying – Mache bhate Bangali (Bangaldeshis are predominantly dependent on rice and fish) but it will be incomplete history of Bangladeshi food if the variety of vegetable based food isn’t mentioned here. Choitro Shonkranti, the last day of a Bangladeshi calendar is celebrated with delicious vegetable dishes by and large. The most common item is pachon (mixed vegetables made with exotic spices in a large pot) which is magical for any taste bud. The common vegetables are potato, egg plants, papaya, onion, tomatoes, and pepper and so on and usually these are mixed with different types of seeds or lentils. At the end of the year, the day is celebrated with simple Bangladeshi food which Bangladeshis believe prepare them for the big meals that await them the next day.
