意思
Commonly used fresh chili in cooking.
文化背景
In West Bengal, 'কাঁচা লঙ্কা' is often served as a garnish on top of 'Macher Jhol' (fish curry). It is also a key ingredient in 'Ghoti' (West Bengali) style cooking which balances heat with a bit of sweetness. In Bangladesh, the heat level is often higher. 'কাঁচা মরিচ' is used in abundance in 'Bhorta' (mashed dishes). The 'Dhakai' palate prides itself on the sharp, fresh sting of the green chili. Farmers often carry a few green chilies and an onion in their pockets to eat with plain rice during their midday break in the fields. It is considered a poor man's energy booster. Never hand a green chili directly to someone's hand; it is believed to cause a quarrel. Always place it on the side of their plate.
The Slit Technique
When cooking, say 'কাঁচা লঙ্কা চেরা' (chera) to mean slitting them. This releases the aroma without making the dish too spicy.
Eye Contact
After handling কাঁচা লঙ্কা, never touch your eyes. The 'jhal' (capsaicin) stays on your fingers!
