Bangladesh: Cooking Around the World with Camilla (CATWWC)

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.

    This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

    You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

    Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
