Service has begun, but so has Kishwar's entrée prep 😬 #MasterChefAU

In the UK, most of what we class as “Indian food”, is curated by Bangladeshi chefs. The recognition and appreciation for homemade-style food + the desire to seek out unique flavours is a recent phenomenon which has empowered the Bangladeshi diaspora to spotlight their cuisine.

Dina Begum has written about how recipes are passed down from one generation to the next, not by writing them down, but by demonstrating. We consider the contrast between the observation styles of Bangladeshi cooking versus the meticulous measurements in English recipes.

Finally, Dina Begum and I talk about our favourite Bangladeshi dishes and our three staple spices for the kitchen. Here some photos of some of our favourites: Shingara, Kacchi Biryani and Balushahi. What are yours? Comment below 👇👇👇

We'll take a serve too, thanks Kishwar Chowdhury 🙌 #MasterChefAU

As a staunch Panta Bhat-ist, I had to ask: Why shouldn't this so-called humble dish be made on Masterchef? Its moment in the spotlight represents a wholesome rejection of the hierarchy of tastes indianexpress.com/article/opinio…
