Hi! I am Atikul Islam. I am living in dhaka. I love street foods of our country. If any one come to visit my country than eat our best street foods it's so much yummy and they are :
1. Fuchka (and chot-puti which is basically the same ingredients but chopped up):
It’s a street food. Small dough balls which are stuffed with a chickpea (garbanzo) salad made with jalapenos. Can be spicy. It is served with a tangy tamarind vinaigrette. There is usually the option to have this served not spicy which means the addition of a yogurt sauce on top. Many vendors mix a special black salt into the yogurt sauce.
2. Bhorta:
The biggest secret food. It’s a style of “mashup” foods and other small dishes like mezze/appetizers/tapas. Best restaurant is in Old Dhaka but try to eat it homemade.
3. Rumali Roti:
This is my personal favorite because I like yeasty stretchy dough with grilled meat. “Rumali” means handkerchief so the bread is as thin as a handkerchief.
4. Jhalmuri:
It’s a street food. A savory puffed rice treat usually served in a recycled paper cone (as in, you can read someone’s homework on the paper) with a paper scooper as a utensil.
5. Sringara:
A street food. Also, commonly served at parties. It’s a deep fried dough ball or triangle. Like a samosa.
6. Pithe:
A biscuit with sculptured designs unique to the maker.
7. Hilsha:
The national fish. April and Bengali New Year is the time to eat this bony fish. Bangladesh is a country of fish eaters.
8. Jallaby:
Also a street food. It’s like a deep fried funnel cake cooled and soaked in sugar water.
9. Mishti doi:
Sweetened fresh yogurt. The yogurt in Bangladesh is almost always fresh and made in clay pots which are tossed (ultimate earth to earth recycling). It’s funny because many expats will keep these clay dishes and the Bangladeshis don’t really understand why.
10. Bhorhani:
It is a drink made from yogurt but it is mixed with “special black salt” which is sulfuric. This drink is often served at special events like weddings. The Bangladeshis say that the drink cuts through the fattiness of the biryani served at weddings.
11. Velpuri:
Its just like a fuchka but its size is big and its testy too. its most popular to girls. They like it madly.
12. Chanachur:
Its a normal evening meal of every bangladeshi but some person made it very interesting. They make it in a different way and its yummy and hot too. We call it Gorom Chanachur (Hot Chanachur) .
13. Chola:
Its a food we Muslim eat in ramadan when we brake our roja. Now a days its a very testy street food in our country. We enjoy it so much. We call it Chola/Boot. Its more testy with Muri.
