Bina's Begun Diye Shutki (Eggplant-Dry Fish Curry)
This is a typical everyday dish, and is a favorite to shukti(uncooked dry fish) fans. However, many people do not like the strong smell of the uncooked dry fish, but I LOVE shutki, so I had to share this recipe I have collected recently from my friend, Bina :)
Potol Keema Kofta (Pointed Gourd Meat Kofta)
I tried out the potol kofta for the first time as I was taking the recipe from my mother. It is quite strange my mother never prepared it before, maybe because it does have some intricate steps. However, I would say, the dish is worth the effort because it tastes great, especially if you are a meat fan. The koftas are usually served with plain pulao or fried rice, and is cooked on special occasions.
Korolla Diye Boro Mach er Deem (Bitter Gourd-Fish Egg Curry)
Korolla, or Bitter Gourd is not very popular amongst kids as it is quite bitter. However, it is considered to be VERY healthy, and adults, especially parents and grandparents love to have korolla every now and then. This dish is cooked in such a way so that the bitterness is reduced to a minimum, and tastes great with the fish egg. The dish is usually eaten with plain white rice.
