Tagging an amazing Bangladeshi ik from here 😉💗
I have a feeling there’s a misspelling there?
@jesusredeemedme2425

@jesusredeemedme2425 I've eaten "posto laga Mishti" 🥰 It's a sweet and has layers in it, inside it's soft, sweet, creamy and outside it's slightly crunchy with layer of white poppy seeds ( posto ) in it :))
Ooh I want this hehe
It's very tasty one of my fav sweets 🤗
@Amanda84
Would you eat this? Looks like a simple dessert <3
@jesusredeemedme2425
Looks like sandpaper 😂😂
@Amanda84 what the ..😭
@trueconfidant123
Sorry, that is what first came to mind 😂😂😂🩵
I mean… She’s not wrong. The bottom pic does look vaguely like it…
@jesusredeemedme2425
I haven't tried it but we make similar sweets here and I assure you it's nowhere close to sand like in taste lol.
I just meant visually lol
@jesusredeemedme2425
I know 🤣 😭
@fossilfellow is that postadana coating on the outside?
@trueconfidant123 Yep :)
What’s postadana?
@jesusredeemedme2425
Posta Dana, also known as Khus Khus or poppy seeds (Papaver Somniferum), are tiny oilseeds used worldwide as a nutritious condiment with a nutty, earthy flavor. Commonly used in Indian cuisine—especially Bengali dishes—for thickening gravies, they are rich in copper, calcium, iron, and potassium.
It's also very expensive. My mother makes sweets and savory (potato curry) out of it.
@jesusredeemedme2425
Greetings from Egypt.
we have
Falafel, which we call "fool," is beans , green/vegan patties, which we call "tahmia," are crushed beans fried in oil
Kushari is macaroni + rice , + black lentils + tomato sauce + whatever the one cooking it decides on and it's very tasty
i can go on about stuffed foods which is an entire category here, and oven-baked meals, which is also a category.
tho the 3 above should be enough to get you started
@jesusredeemedme2425
Looking forward to seeing what I can't eat 😂💚
We’ll find you something eventually XD
@jesusredeemedme2425
"Fuchka" is one of the most popular food in Bangladesh. It's taste was so mouthwatering and this one is also my favorite street food. Whenever people go out in Bangladesh they usually search for fuchka, specially girls (like me😶!)
I'm a new user of this app so still don't know how to add pictures in comment that's why i can't share any picture of this food but you can see it by searching the name in Google!
@sincereApricot9083 Welcome! 🥰 You can add pic's only on the site version not in the app. I hope you have a great time here 🐾💕
@sincereApricot9083
Wait, it's like India's Pani Puri/Puchka. Let me share the picture for you.
@trueconfidant123
Oh thanks dear❤️
@sincereApricot9083 you're welcome 😁
Chomchom is a traditional sweet from Bangladesh consisting of milk that is cooked in sugar syrup. It is often flavored with lemon juice and cardamom powder. The sweet treat can be served in a few different varieties – with chopped nuts, malai cream, or grated coconut.

@jesusredeemedme2425
It's a Bengali sweet prepared and available all across India as well.
@jesusredeemedme2425
Not from Bangladesh but I once ate pitha from there❤️ Its a whole category of rice-based sweets/snacks, steamed, fried, or stuffed with coconut and jaggery. I had the sweet coconut one.🥥 It tasted a bit like Modak to me 😭 (a sweet offering given to lord Ganesh, steamed sweet filled with many stuffs from coconut to "a weird tasting sweet thing my granny make" )
Lol the last part
@jesusredeemedme2425
XD
@CelestialSolace
Love the user name 🩷🩵💜
@Amanda84
Aww thankiesss. You made me smilee❤️✨️
@CelestialSolace
I'm glad 🤗🩵
@CelestialSolace
Are you talking about Ukadiche Modak? 😭
It's my favourite thing in the whole wide world. ❤️
It has a rice flour outer covering with sweetened dessicated coconut stuffing.
@trueconfidant123
Yes yes THAT! Whatever its called. My granny fills it with the "steamed, sweetned till the point of diabetes, and smoothened" mixture of pulses.
Not made for my taste buds 😛
@CelestialSolace
That's exactly it. It tastes yummy regardless of diabetic tendencies lol.
@trueconfidant123
XD
What does desiccated mean??
@jesusredeemedme2425
Dehydrated after grating
Jaggery alongwith other ingredients is added to dessicated coconut and that's how the filling is prepared
