Evening snacks

I am a Pure Bong in my heart and one thing I really miss , being away from My hometown and my state is Mouthwatering evening snacks. Nothing can compare the pleasure I used to feel while gorging on small Triangular freshly fried 'shingara's ( yeah shingara and please not samosa), stuffed with small 1 centimeter sized cubed potaoes,flavoured with chopped ginger and other spices. I used to have minimum 3 shingaras at one go and used to stare at my elder sister's plate ( since she was a slow eater n generally used to hav 1 piece , sometimes 2) and without fail I wud pick up her share and devour it with such pleasure, wow...that taste, its heavenly.

Also having 'gorom gorom alur chop' and 'beguni' with ' Muri' used to be another delicacy. Here in Mumbai, when having Vada Pav, I feel like crying, how can I explain to the Vada Pav eaters, the spicy, jhal jhal taste of 'gorom alur chop" !!!
What about all those snacks served at friends n relatives house when we used to go visiting!! The hostess, one of the numerous kakima, Pishima, jethima, will bring a plate full of assorted Mishtis like rosgolla, ledikeni, shonpapri, talshash sondesh, aam sondesh or kachagolla, along with some'nonta' kahabar like chanachur, jhuribhaja, or shingara. If u r lucky, then u can get a bowl of Ghugni or a bowl of leftover Echorer dalna from lunch. The taste of those sweets n snacks will never be compensated by any amount of Mcdonalds Burger or KFC chicken wings!!!
I hav a kaku n kakima in my hometown, very sweet natured n very affectionate. Once in a month kakima will prepare Radhabollobhi or Mug Kachuri along with kosha alur dom n will pack the whole thing in a tiffin carrier ( a must have in every Bong Home) , n kaku will lovingly carry it all the way to our residence for us to eat!! No amount of radhabollovi n alurdom I have in Big resataurants will ever match the taste of radhabollovi n alur dom prepared by kakima n delivered by kaku at our residence.
