About Laksam

Laksam is a traditional dish originating from the Sylhet region of Bangladesh, often enjoyed as a comfort food or festive meal. This flavorful dish consists of soft rice flour rolls served in a creamy, aromatic broth made from ground fish, coconut milk, and a blend of spices. Topped with sliced onions, green chilies, and sometimes fresh herbs, Laksam is both hearty and satisfying. Rich in protein from the fish and healthy fats from the coconut milk, it provides essential nutrients while being naturally gluten-free. However, the dish can be high in calories due to the coconut milk's fat content and the rice flour base, so portion control is advised. Typically enjoyed as part of Bangladeshi cuisine, Laksam represents the perfect balance of traditional flavors and nourishing ingredients, offering a comforting yet indulgent taste of Sylheti heritage.
