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.
The main rice dish was Kolkata-style potato biryani (Kolkata aloo biryani). Among South Asian biryanis, this version is known for using potatoes. Kolkata is the capital of West Bengal in India, and after Dhaka in Bangladesh it is one of the largest Bengali-speaking cities.
