The Durga Puja celebrations include a wide range of delicacies, from crispy fritters to creamy curries and fragrant biryanis. One such delicacy is narkel chingri bora –small, oval-shaped fried prawn (chingri) and coconut (narkel) fritters, found in Bengali households. Less popular than chop cutlets, ghugni, and rolls found in pandals, but just as delicious, these fritters are specially prepared during festivals and special occasions.
