I don't know what that is, but I'm guessing it chicken curry with some bread?

no not the curry... I was talking about the dumpling. That looks like a "chitoi pitha" made by rice paste/powder. We use it like bread and eat with curry or "shutki" (dish made with dry fish).

I know what the shukti is (posted it in the opening post of first test match thread against NZ)
Me personally, I never liked dumpling made with rice.
It has to be made with wheat flour, doughie.

Anyone a bitter melon fan? We call it Karaila...and there is a recipe that speaks of comfort food. Kids hate it because of the bitterness, but I was the exception. Love this dish (Kalounjie):
Stuffing it with baby shrimp;

Thanks
I see the variation in spelling differs from region to region
In Trinidad I think they call it carailli.
In guyana we call it karaila, carilla.

I hated Korolla and Mishti Kumra from the very first moment my mother tried on me. After like 25 years, I still hate the first one, but somehow managed to love the latter.

Korolla vaji mainly. Straight corolla, corolla with aloo, corolla with maser vorta or something - if there is a hint of korolla in any dish, I won't try it coz I can taste the bitterness.
We're Bikrompuri. We may not have a lot of cuisine variations or best in the business; we're very good cook.

I can relate to that with other foods. I just don't have the courage to put it in my mouth because of smell, taste, or texture...One food that comes to mind is green olives. First time I had it, my throat became inflamed. Allergic reaction.
Back to the Korolla discussion, I've been having it since I was a young toddler, so I kinda got the acquired taste of the bitterness. The fried version of this works great with dhal and rice. It is a dish, my relatives from a few generations ago perfected.
Happy cooking

Fellow Bikrompuri,
I'm a Bhai indeed.
My 14 generations are from Bikrompur. My father's side is from Baroikhali, Sreenagar and mother's side is from Chitrocoat, Sirajdikhan. Unfortunately, I've neither been to my "desher bari" nor know much about it.
But Cooking and food I know. I think the basics are very good with a specialty in Pitha and Achar. My mom made these on a family occasion (find the pithas):

My dada, dadi,nanu are bikrompuira.
Bibikhana pitha is a bikrompuira thing.
We are excellent cooks.
I love corola bhaji, had it since i was kid, to make it less bitter add more potatoes, u can use shrimps to enhance the taste/flavor.

You have to cut small amount of top and bottom part of korolla and rub it few times, white foam will come out that eases the bitterness a bit

Wow, glad you shared that...
But, somehow I like this vegetable for its bitterness(not crazy bitter).

This is special right here...My aunt's family(who are Pakistani)usually go all out with putting food on the table like this/.
This achar, is it made with mangoes and lots of mustard oil?

I only take Mango achar (tok-mishti), so my mom mostly makes them. I've been blessed since my MIL has also been coming to visit quite frequently in recent times and she brings tons of food with her (mostly not legit in Canada) from BD.

As a kid growing we would partake in the tradition of making the mango achar.
Summer months when mangoes are in season, I would be responsible for picking and cleaning of the mangoes. Green mangoes about 25-40 lbs would be converted to achar.
Later, salt, mustard oil, and peppers would be added to the chipped and pound mangoes. This would be left in a large vessel for 2-3 days..and then would be bottled.
The bottles would then be placed out in the open to take full use of the hot, summer sun.
It was always a delight to do this every year.
