A TASTE OF BANGLADESH
At first bite the flavors were foreign to me. I heated up a chicken leg, white rice, and a potatoe paddie. The rice has substance, it is full, with texture and flavor. The rice could be a meal on it's own. The rice intrigues me, the aroma, jasmine?
Something earthy, close to the earth, with the warm heat of the spices. The generous chicken leg needs to be savored with each bite. It's remarkable how many different layers come out in this dish. The flavors keep poppin like the 4th of July. I love it! Delicate, yet bold, a taste of Bangledesh.
OMG this potatoe paddie is heavenly. It's consistency is firm and holds together well. It is more spicy than the chicken. The heat doesn't overpower you though, it has a rippling, lingering effect.
Lipi's labor of love pays off in dividends. Lipi's happy spirit is in the food.
I was wrong about cucumber slices or yogurt, which would only take away from this delicious memoriable dish.
I must confess, when I eat rice I think of the starving children in the world and don't want to waste a grain, using my fingers to finish each morsel. Thank you Lipi, bravo!
