![]()
Rasmalai - dessert

Burhani- pre meal spicy yogurt drink similar to laban but with black pepper and slight garam masala added
![]()

And the most understated tBengali dish (side dish),

We have rasmalai and roshogulla (rasgulla) but I think ours has a more Mughlai taste.
And a variation of puchkas called gol gappas.
Bengali cooks were very popular in Karachi. Many old money houses used to specifically employ Bengali cooks. My own maternal grandpa's family had a Bengali cook in the 80s (his name was Gulab) but he left before I was born.
