The dishes and the recipes were passed down from one generation to another, evolving with the time to suit the palate. Some dishes remained the way they were. The Maachher Kalia, for instance, was always more Bengali than Mughal. There was, after all, very little the Mughals could do to enhance the taste of the rich gravy of a fish curry.
