World Food Tour – Bangladesh

Chotpoti – Bangladesh street food consisting of chickpeas, onions, peppers, and topped with a grated boiled egg. This actually came together quite quickly and the only thing I had to specifically source was the tamarind paste. Working with a new ingredient can be risky and it reared it head for this dish because the tamarind paste I was using was on the sour side – if I was tasting as I was going I would have added some sugar to balance out the sourness but I didn’t.. so the final dish was mouth puckering sour.. it was still good however. I’m not sure if I’m ever going to use tamarind paste again, but if I do I’ll be sure to be extra careful and taste frequently.
