Boti Kabab
Feb 17Hi! Hope everybody is doing well in life. When we make kabab with diced meat, Marination is a big thing. If meat is not marinated well, we will not get tender kabab. Kabab should not be overcooked. Overcooked kabab is dry and chewy. For marinating kabab we need something to make it tender. In Bangladesh Papaw Paste is the most popular and common meat tenderizer. But for me papaw paste is...
Nihari / Spicy Lamb Shank
Nov 12Sorry for late post of Nihari. I got lots of requests for Nihari / Leg Broth. Requests were very unique way like “it should be golden stew” or “fell to be cooked by mum” or “need to be with easy and handy ingredients”. Nihari is a leg soup cooked with spices. I use here lamb shank but as you know that you can use cow leg or goat leg or soup bones. I keep it in Bengali style to...
Kolija Bhaja / Fried Liver
Nov 08Kolija Bhaja / Fried Liver is a very simple but very tasty dish. I had this in a wedding and just love the dish. I cut the liver into thin pieces but you can cut liver into your desire size. Instead of green chillies you can use dry chilli flake but I like the flavour green chilli more. Please don’t overcook liver, overcook makes liver chewy. Hope you will try this simple recipe to...

In that case instead of yogurt...

Chapli Kabab
May 03Personally I prefer not to buy mince. I like to buy fillet and put it in food processor to make the mince. In that way you know which part meat you are having and how lean it is. Don’t use lean meat for Chapli kabab. Lean meat makes dry kabab. I am not very fond of deep fried kabab. That’s why I like Chapli kabab which is shallow fried. Even you can use BBQ for...
