 Hi Friends ,

Till date I have posted many traditional sweets & desserts recipes in my blog . There are lot of varieties which you can try in many ways like traditional or fusion. As time changes , we always make ourselves up to date for everything , if it is about foods , there is no exception at all . I tried many traditional recipes as well fusion also . Many days I thought to share Our Traditional Bengali Dessert or Sweet like Steamed Sweet Curds or Bhapa Dahi , but never got the chance to share with you, at last here is the post on Bhapa Dahi. 


Sweet Curds in Bengal had a great value still it is there though , but nowadays ice - cream brought a huge parameter in place of dahi . Any auspicious occasions could not be thinkable without Sweet Curds , whether it is any ceremony or some kind of typical Sanskar Dahi was the first preference . Early days Dahi was served at shop in an earthen pot , covered with shaal (a tree )leaf , which had a real authentic essence of purity and overall there was a traditional touch of Rich Bengali culture too .... as there was no discrimination of serving ideas whether it is a big sweet shop or small sweet shop . Later on it was covered with butter paper now completely serving in a plastic/fibre  pack ! Before sweet curds was not available all over the India , people from other states whenever used to visit Bengal , never forgot to have Sweet curds, this much popularity or craziness was there for Bengal Famous Sweet Curds . Heard lot of stories over sweet curds from Parents as well Grand Parents. Lots of childhood memorable memories comes to minds while sitting simply . We know time flies ...... changes will be there too .
