Basanti Polao or Mishti Polao, sometimes simply known as polao in Bengal refers to a sweet, ghee-laden rice dish made from fragrant gobindabhog or kalijeera rice, cashew nuts and raisins. This is the main rice dish of choice for any special occasion. Among the side dishes served with basanti pulao, kosha mangsho [video linked below] is the most popular. Kosha mangsho and polao is a favourite combination among Bengalis. While there are many other kinds of polao, made with different types of fruits, nuts, meat or fish, this one has become the most popular, featuring prominently on the menus of Bengali specialty restaurants such as Bhojohori Manna, Kewpie's, etc.
