Authenticity Slice

Authentic narkel diye pepe has a slightly crunchy texture. So make sure to over-boil it while trying to remove the bitterness of raw papayas.

Trivia Tadka

 Pronounced pey-pey-r in Bengali, this recipe is a delicious break from other Bengali recipes. In fact, narkel diye pepe is considered to be auspicious during Bengali festivals along with its digestive properties.
