I used the remainder of the Roquefort a few days ago to make a sauce, which I added to some asparagus ravioli that I had brought over from Berlin. It was pretty decent.

Got a sudden craving for Cracker Jack or Kalojam.

Had cauliflower for lunch after ages

Sohel · #**304** November 13, 2012, 08:42 PM

Couscous with mutton Rezala and fresh tomatoes and onions.

Antora · #**305** November 13, 2012, 09:54 PM

I had nandos for lunch

Sohel · #**306** November 13, 2012, 10:27 PM

^I love their Hummus and mocktails. The best available in Bangladesh.

So jealous. The Nandos in Toronto sucks. So does the one in Bangladesh. Might have to make a trip to South Africa for a long weekend.

Sohel bhai, besides Nandos, is there anywhere else in Dhaka that you can get hummus?

The Nandos in London are pretty decent too. But the Dhaka ones are downright ripping people off. The prices are on par with UK prices but the chickens are half the size! However, given how they are expanding, people seem to be willing to pay up.

Not really. I usually make my own. Dhali has the Garbanzo beans, Tahini and all of the other ingredients you need. They also sell Cuisinarts nowadays

Our curries, including Mughlai style curries, go remarkably well with Couscous

I was surprised to find a reasonably good facsimile of hummus at Bitter Sweet. (of course, I stopped going there after our you told me about its (Bitter Sweet's) antecedents.

Sohel · #**315** November 14, 2012, 11:56 PM

^Is it a coincidence that some folks associated with that place call it "Hamas"?

Lol!

Surfing on Persian kabob strips, salad and this thing called roti.

**Zunaid** · #**317** January 25, 2013, 02:36 AM

Coincidental dig. Just made reservations at a Middle Eastern restaurant called 'The original sin' (not sure why).

They supposedly have great great halloumi and moussaka. Will report back anon.

I thought Bitter Sweet only had amazing cakes..

Maysun · #**319** February 18, 2013, 09:08 PM

Bread and omelette for breakfast.

Reviving this thread to show Ajfar that, we still eat

Zeeshan · #**320** February 20, 2013, 12:21 AM

Sohel · #**321** February 20, 2013, 04:50 AM

What has Shabagh meant to my taste buds?

Nirob and grilled corn on the cob, baby! So good to be alive in Dhaka right now

**Zunaid** · #**322** February 20, 2013, 05:02 AM

Miss Nirob.

Anyway - dinner was sautéed cabbage and Harissa chicken sausage in a blend of olive oil and butter. Cooked with diced diced carrots and onions and flavored with fresh parsley, salt, pepper, garlic, Italian herbs mix, and a dash of Worcester sauce.

zinatf · #**323** February 20, 2013, 07:20 AM

Simple dinner. Daal garnished with cilantro, tomato and paanch phoron, chicken curry, basmati rice and had mixed pickles on the side...yum!!
Nothing beats deshi meal

Mashur daal with tomato and panch-foron die bagar is one of my comfort foods. I will even just have the daal as soup

I get requests from my wife to make my daal every so often.

Glad to share

Zinat - what's your version like?

This is one of my favorite thread in BC - Maysun

Mexican food I had last friday. I had vegetable taco, brown rice, and my friend had chicken quesadila (spelling!)
