There is a bengali proverb “adaay kanchkalay samparka” that is used when there is a inimical relationship between two person.
Green banana does not go well with ginger.
You have no idea about cooking.
The bengali proverb/idiom has nothing to do with this recipe.
Kacha kola goes BEST with ginger
Thats a pretty harsh thing to say, Anindya. Yes, I know kancha kola goes great with ginger, and I also know about the proverb. Would love to know the root for the proverb, please share if you know about it.
