Loved every bit of it. Your articles are always so interesting and full of trivia. Loved it, except that I don't consider Kolkata Biryani a real biryani 😂
Portuguese transformed India’s and in particular Bengal’s cuisine like no other. The sweet meats/confectionery Indus is also because of the Portuguese. But potato remains their most significant contribution.
I am actually requestioning the question now. Because in northeast India, the indigenous Naga ghost chilis have been there since ages. So i guess a certain kind of chilli were introduced by the Portuguese. I need to check this! Thanks for asking
Potatoes are my absolute favourite food and I'd happily nominate any kind as my last meal, but if I had to choose, I would vote for the roast pot.
I have never had roast pot. I just googled it. Looks delicious 🥺
You’ve never had a roast potato ?! You’re in for a treat!
Hard toss between french fries and aloo chat!
I am craving peri peri french fries now🥺

Thanks for reading! Why not? Maybe you haven't had good Kolkata Biryani. I love all kinds of Biryani, my favourite being Donne Biryani from Karnataka
Potato might fit logically in the Biryani but my heart disagrees 😂

Agreed! Two of the most iconic bengali dishes feature potatoes.
Well written.
Thank You!
I do love a good spud. My favourite would probably be a roast potato. Absolutely delicious - Crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside. 😋
I love roast potatoes. Really potatoes in any form😇
Woah, this was a cool read. And are you saying chilis and very hot spicy food wasn't a thing in India until they got introduced??

There’s nothing quite like the versatility of a potato. Great post!
Agreed! Thanks for reading. :)
Loved this every bit!
Sounds like a healthy option! :)
