	'''Bori''' ({{lang-bn\|বড়ি}}) is a form of dried lentil dumplings popular in [[Bengali cuisine]]. It is made from a paste of [[urad dal]] and [[winter melon]] which is sun-dried for 3–5 days. Once fully dried, it can easily last for about a year.<ref>{{Cite news \|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/food-wine/how-british-greed-spurred-the-creation-of-one-of-bengals-most-loved-dishes/\|title=How British greed spurred the creation of one of Bengal's most loved dishes\|date=2016-03-31\|work=The Indian Express\|language=en-IN\|access-date=2019-03-12}}</ref>		'''Bori''' ({{lang-bn\|বড়ি}}) is a form of dried lentil dumplings popular in [[Bengali cuisine]].

	The paste is laid out by hand on a mat in the sunlight. It sticks to the mat while wet but when the bori dries completely it can easily come off. In its simplest form bori takes the conical shape naturally occurring due to the way the paste is laid out.<ref>{{Cite news\|url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ians/iit-kharagpur-facilitating-filing-of-gi-application-for-goyna-bori-116073100770_1.html\|title=IIT Kharagpur facilitating filing of GI application for 'Goyna Bori'\|last=IANS\|date=2016-07-31\|work=Business Standard India\|access-date=2019-03-12}}</ref>		The paste is laid out by hand on a mat in the sunlight.

	Intricate artistic designs can also made with the paste when squeezed out through a piping bag. This is called ''naksha bori''. It is also called ''[[Gohona Bori\|gohona bori]]'' or ''gayna bori'' because the designs often look like those of jewellery (gahana or gayna is Bengali for jewellery). To avoid breaking ''naksha bori'' when removing from the mat, a layer of poppy seeds is spread before laying the paste.
