Winter dishes from Bengal that are almost lost now

Bengali households once celebrated ‘Sheetkal’ with unique winter delicacies like Nolen Gurer Choshir Payesh and traditional Chaler Patishapta. These dishes, often featuring nolen gur and slow-roasted ingredients, are now rarely prepared due to their complex methods. Lost recipes like Gokul Pithe Fry and Pepe Dolma highlight a fading culinary heritage.
