Reposted from the web
Summary: Halal Food Guide: Beijing Dastan — Ramadan Iftar and Bengali New Year is presented here as a firsthand travel account in clear English, beginning with this scene: April 14th is the Bengali New Year. I was very happy to be invited by Yahya Dost to the Dastaan restaurant, an Indian spot in Sanlitun Soho, Beijing, to join a Ramadan iftar buffet celebrating the Bengali New Year. The account keeps its focus on Beijing Iftar, Bengali New Year, Halal Food while preserving the names, places, food, and historical details from the Chinese source.
Fried dishes made by Bengalis using mustard oil are called bhaja, and there are many different kinds. The most classic is crispy fried potato strips (jhure-jhure aloo bhaja). The potatoes are fried until golden and very crispy, and it is a classic snack for the Bengali New Year. Also, fried eggplant slices (muchmuche beguni) and fried potato patties (aloo chop) are both part of the bhaja fried dish family.
