Our dogs came into the household, each at two months of age, and since then have built up their appreciation of Bengali food. Baked fish…..a light fish stew with tomatoes (no onions or garlic though)…the one I cook when my kids are recovering from any kind of ailment…… woof .…..leafy veggies like spinach and poi….. chick peas with a drop of olive oil….. a little bit of rice on Sundays….. roti for the rest of the week. They also love oven roasted cauliflower, chicken and potatoes.
Timmy Too and Lucy Lou delicately start sniffing the air when I cook….aroma therapy???? Definitely. Our future stars of Ratatouille, sorry Doggatouille!
Of American, European and Chinese parentage, our dogs have adapted to our Bengali lifestyle with a natural doggie zeal. A friend of mine even gives occasional chanachur (light spicy corn-flakes mix) treat to her dog. Once a week our dogs eat yogurt and rice to cleanse their systems. The yogurt and rice was recommended by a Bengali gastroenterologist of New York. Trust me, it works.
My vet shudders when I talk to him about their diet.
“Nina…it’s just not done in the U.S.”
Mrs. Banerjee’s dog Rosogolla has lived hale and hearty for the last twenty years… on a healthy dose of Bengali Karmic diet. Need more proof???????
