1st Model Test Class 8

Bangladeshi cuisine is rich and varied with the use of many spices.
We
have delicious and appetizing food, snacks and sweets.
Boiled rice is our staple food. It is served with a variety of vegetables,
curry, lentil soups, fish and meat. Fish is the main source of protein. Fishes
are now cultivated in ponds. Also we have fresh-water fishes in the lakes
and rivers. More than 40 types of fishes are common. Some of them are
carp, rui, katla, magur (catfish), chingri (prawn or shrimp). Shutki or dried
fishes are popular. Hilsha is very popular among the people of Bangladesh.
Panta ilish is a traditional platter of Panta bhat. It is steamed rice soaked
in water and served with a fried hilsha slice, often together with dried fish,
pickles, lentil soup, green chilies and onion. It is a popular dish on the
Pohela Boishakh.
The people of Bangladesh are very fond of sweets. Almost all Bangladeshi
women prepare some traditional sweets. Pitha, a type of sweets made from
rice flour, sugar, syrup, molasses and sometimes milk, is a traditional food
loved by the entire population. During winter Pitha Utsab, meaning pitha
festival, is organized by different groups of people.
Sweets are distributed among close relatives when there is good news like
births, weddings, promotions, etc.
Sweets of Bangladesh are mostly milk-based. The common ones are
roshgolla, sandesh, rasamalai, gulap jamun, kalo jamun and chom-chom.
There are hundreds of different varieties of sweet preparations. Sweets are
therefore an important part of the day-to-day life of Bangladeshi people.
