Bengal, an umbrella term which includes both West Bengal and Bangladesh, has a rich history of culinary delicacies. However, no delicacy is complete without the spices that add to its taste and flavour. The following is a list of the names of these spices used mostly in Bengali cooking. The list has been created specifically to cater to those who find it difficult to understand the spices from their English names, even if they have the spice ready at hand at times.
