Signification
A famous Bengali dairy dessert.
Contexte culturel
Mishti Doi is the 'peace-maker'. If there is a family argument, bringing home a pot of Mishti Doi is a silent way of saying sorry. Bogra is the 'Vatican' of Mishti Doi. Their version is so thick it's almost like a cake. In Kolkata, 'K.C. Das' and 'Balaram Mullick' are legendary shops where tourists flock to try Mishti Doi. For Bengalis living abroad, making Mishti Doi in an oven (to mimic the heat of Bengal) is a common weekend hobby.
The Upside Down Test
To check if Mishti Doi is high quality, tilt the pot. If it moves, it's too watery!
Don't use a straw
Even if it looks creamy, always use a spoon. Drinking it is considered odd.
