Subho Durga Ashtami All! (Happy Durga Ashtami) In most Bengali’s household today is a vegetarian eating day and particularly Luchi, Aloo Dum & Chola’r Dal. Of course other kinds of vegetarian dishes can be enjoyed but rice is avoided generally. Specially those who celebrate Durga Pujo at their home shall not have rice at all and only have Luchi, Aloo Dum & Chola’r Dal with Chutney and Payesh which I didn’t make
