Bangladesh: Cooking Around the World with Camilla (CATWWC)

By
As we continue through the 'B's in our cooking around the world adventure, I realized that I don't have to only cook these things for dinner. So, this morning, for breakfast we ventured to Bangladesh for eggs and potatoes. Or, as Dylan called them, "curry eggs and French fries."

Bangladesh is bordered by India on all sides except for a small border with Burma and the Bay of Bengal; and its cuisine reflects its connection to India. The most prominent spices used in Bangladeshi cuisine are garlic, ginger, lime, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and chili. So I used several of those in our breakfast dishes.


Alu chorchori
  • 1 potato per person, sliced thinly, like French fries

  • minced garlic

  • 1 t turmeric

  • 1 t chili powder or paprika (I used paprika) 

  • pink Himalaya salt

  • flower pepper

  • olive oil


    • Quickly soften the minced garlic in olive oil in a large flat-bottomed pan. Add the potatoes and cook till browned and beginning to crisp. Season with turmeric, paprika, and pink Himalaya salt and flower pepper. Serve hot.



    Dimer korma (Egg korma)
    • 1 egg per person
    • coconut milk
    • ground ginger
    • ground cumin
    • ground cloves
    • bay leaves

    Pour coconut milk into a large pan. Add spices and bring to a simmer. When the milk begins to bubble around the edges, break eggs into the liquid and poach to your preferred doneness.
    Enjoy my tabletop travels. Join me in whipping up a dish or two. If you do cook something from one of these countries, I'd love to hear about it. Feel free to comment on the posts themselves or email me at constantmotioncamilla at gmail dot com.

    This Knight of the Global Table Adventure is signing off for now. We're going back to the Caribbean again since Barbados is next on the list.

    Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

    By
    photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

    Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

    By
    As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
