Gastronomic Obsessions

✓ Do you have any obsessions when it comes to eating?

	My Favourite Biryani

Biryani is one of the top Bengali food favorites and I have absolutely fallen madly in love with it. Without biryani, it never feels complete for special occasions, hangouts or small parties. I am always drawn in by every ingredient in biryani, including the mixture of tender meat and spices. If it isOld Dhaka biryani, there is nothing better. A true experience with all the aromatic rice, spicy meat and potatoes on one plate.

✓ Do you have any obsessions with the utensils you use to eat?

My Special Plate

I always have a special plate for biryani eat. I want to get all the rice, along with some meat and salad together on one plate. It’s different when all of it is on one big plate, it feels like I'm eating the whole thing. I also like a slightly bigger spoon so that I can bring it all up with one shot - a scoop of rice and meat and potato. When I’m at home, I love to eat with hands. It all seems so peaceful like I am really savoring each bite.

✓ When it comes to eating, are you one of those people who has the habit of mixing all the foods on your plate or do you prefer to eat them separately?

I like to separate out each part as I eat my biryani. I would eat some rice and salad, then a bit of meat and often a bit of potato. I can enjoy this each part has its own taste and I eat it that way. I mix everything together and eat if I am in a hurry. However, I normally like to taste each part individually because biryani has many flavors which taste better when tasted separately.

✓ Have you ever been made fun of for your eating habits?

Me with Friends

I have always been teased by my friends for the nature of my eating. When I eat each part of the biryani separately, they joke around. I laugh and tell them 'Biryani is like art for me!' Because they all know I am serious about enjoying my biryani, their teasing is full of love in it.

✓ What can never be missing from your pantry due to a particular obsession?

Biryani Masala	Yogurt

I always keep everything ready in my kitchen to make biryani. I have always been stocked with basmati rice, meat (beef, chicken or mutton) and with biryani masala. So i can make it whenever i want to eat. If there’s a craving for it, I can cook it anytime. In doing biryani I am mixing together such spices as cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, yogurt and ghee, something that is a fun process for me. This small stock is all I need to make biryani on any occasion now, it feels like a little tradition for me.
