Many people look forward to the Bengali Aiburobhat rituals because it is a momentous occasion. This occasion is actually the bachelorette party for the bride or groom that is celebrated before their marriage day. The bride and the groom are treated with a lavish lunch and are given various gift items individually at their own house. Here, in this article, you will be given a list of the best Bengali Aiburobhat Menu that will definitely help the reader to decide on theirs. Let’s see what’s there in the dish -  

1. Steamed Rice

Steamed rice tops the Bengali Aiburobhat Menu list and is perhaps the most important one. This is because serving the soon-to-be-married bride and groom with rice is considered to be very solemn. The hot rice is served on the plate from a bowl, which takes up its shape, along with many side dishes. The enticing smell of freshly cooked Basmati rice never fails to make people happy. So, this is a must-have on the list.

2. Sukto or a Bitter Curry

This Bengali vegetarian cuisine is centred on this bitter mixed vegetable curry. Vegetables such as brinjals, raw bananas, potatoes, drumsticks, and bitter gourds are used to prepare this dish. Among the spices, dry red chilly and ghee-fried Radhuni are used as seasonings for the dish. Milk is often added along with daal baris or lentil dumplings to add more flavour to the curry.   

3. Sona Moong Dal 

This lentil dish is a staple in most Bengali Aiburobhat. It has two versions – one is vegetarian and the other is nonvegetarian. The former is made with vegetables such as carrots, peas, and cauliflowers and the dal used is the moong dal. This goes in the perfect combination with steamed rice.  

4. Begun Bhaja or Eggplant Fritters

The scrumptious Bengali fritters known as the Begun Bhaja are one of the most delightful recipes of Bengali Aiburobhat Menu. When combined with Sona moong daal, this fritter takes on a whole new level of deliciousness.     

5. Basanti Pulao

Basanti pulao, named for its golden yellow hue that it gets from the saffron and abundance of dried fruits, is the ideal accompanying dish to be served with Kosha Mangsho.  

6. Fish Fry

Deep-fried Bhetki of the highest quality is a great crowd-puller in any community feast. The fillets of Bhetki determine how tasty the fish fries will be. Fish fry is a dish that evokes a range of amazing feelings, from mild to wild, thanks to the marinade of onion-green coriander paste, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. It is accompanied by the mustard sauce or the Kasundi and a salad of cucumber and onions.   

7. Chingri Malaikari

This delicious prawn curry dish from Bengal is loved by one and all. This dish is made with fresh coconut milk and a plethora of spices that make the foundation of this luscious prawn curry dish. This can be served with plain rice or Basanti pulao or any kind of rice dish for that matter.

8. Chitol Muitha

This is not the usual fish preparation that is often eaten in Bengal. The fish balls are made with the hand, which is called the Muitha in Bengali and are boiled in hot water. They are then fried in oil and then immersed in a thick, rich and spicy onion-tomato gravy and cooked again. The ultimate product is just mind-boggling. 

9. Kosha Mangsho

Bengalis are known for their love for good food, and this spicy mutton dish is a favourite among them. The aroma of this Bengali mutton curry is just amazing. Everyone will savour this delectable dish without saying a word.   

10. Tomato Chutney

The sweet, salty and spicy chutney is an essential part of traditional Bengali food. An Aiburobhat cannot be considered complete without the inclusion of the tomato chutney as a side dish. This chutney is normally eaten with papad and has tons of flavour that will leave the guest licking their fingers. 

11. Payesh

Payesh Is the star of any Aiburobhat Menu. This is made with date jaggery during the winter if you are getting married during this time. Otherwise, it is made with sugar accompanied by Gobindo Bhog rice, lots of dry fruits and creamy milk. 

12. Rosogolla

No Aiburobhat Thali is complete without these sweet and spongy rasgullas. Cottage cheese is the key ingredient in the making of this dish that is dipped in sugar syrup. It’s a perfect balance of flavour and sweetness that has made it world-famous.
