Each country has its own culture. From food to different fields, each country has its own unique culture that carries the identity of that country. Bangladesh is no exception. Like other countries, Bangladesh has different cultures involved in different fields. Similarly, Bangladesh has a different culture in terms of food.
Semai is one of the dishes associated with the culture of Bangladesh. Semai is generally popular as a snake. Semai is still used as a food of old culture, especially in religious, political and family occasions. Moreover, when a guest arrives at the house, different types of semai are cooked in different ways to entertain them and this food is served among those guests.
Moreover, in religious festivals like Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Azha, semai is cooked in every house in Bengal. Especially before going to perform Eid prayers, Bengalis (especially those who follow the Muslim religion) leave their homes for the mosque after eating semai or sweets. Eating semai in the morning on the day of Eid is a very old culture in Bengal. It seems that the joy of Eid is not fulfilled without eating Semai on the morning of Eid or on the day of Eid. So it is mandatory to have semai with other foods.
Semai is also cooked for family meals in most households in Bengal throughout the year. Semai is a dish that can be cooked in many different ways. However, most people in Bangladesh cook semai with a pinch of milk, sugar and coconut. Again semai can be cooked just fried with coconut powder and sugar which is also very tasty to eat. My mother often cooks semai in our family but my mother feels comfortable cooking semai with coconut and sugar. As delicious as it is to eat, this dish can be left for a long time, so my mother cooks semai in our house like this.
