Dear all to make this  Ganesha Chaturthy Special I am sharing something different Sweet with you. This is actually a Bengali Special Dish called Sita-Bhog. A myth about this sweet’s name is that this Sweet is one of the favourite sweet of Mata Sita.

Mainly this recipe is famous in Bardhaman, a district of West Bengal. But Nowadays in West Bengal incl’ Kolkata at each and every sweets shop you will find it.

So Some state or region has its own culture for their cuisines.

Hope you got to know that why I had given so many lectures about the Awadhi Cooking. Because today I want share one Awadhi special recipe. It's a simple and easy cooking reci
