Haha fair way to put it. I’m Indian to be specific. Bulgur isn’t a thing there, I had never heard of it before I moved abroad.

Will try! Thanks.

It’s actually from H&M Home.

Admittedly true. I was introduced to it by a Spanish friend, and I occasionally mix and match it with certain stuff.

This is the first time I’ve used it with an asian food though, and I honestly thought it went quite well, although fresh rice would’ve been nicer.

Nothing, I’m asian, I love rice. But I mean, bulgur is pretty nice too.

Its one of the few physical books I considered carrying with me when I moved abroad and primarily started going e-books. I want to read the Bengali versions, but unfortunately I’m quite slow at reading Bengali. The translations unfortunately makes it lose a lot of character.

What did bulgur ever do to you bro 😢

Its a 2722e but tbf all of them look the same to me.

I keep the gravy out when I take the picture, due to a number of disastrous spills in the past 🥹. I pour it in when sitting down to eat.

If you must know, its there, just not in this picture. I’ve had a spate of incidents with gravy spilling over when trying to hold a plate and take a picture, so now I pour it over only when sitting down to eat 🤫

Its not that red because I couldn’t find kashmiri chilli / powder nearby. I substituted it instead. Standard chilli powder or paprika doesn’t lead to a vibrant colour. The rest of the spices are as per the recipe I followed.

I added a few ingredients that I wanted to get rid of in my pantry, so certainly not a traditional recipe.

Haha jeez, this made my day!

I pan-fried the fish with a simple chilli, salt, pepper, garlic powder and lemon marinade. Very simple and quick (less than 1 hour start to finish including marinating the fish for about 30 mins).

Things you do to get a clean picture 😂

“Aesthetic” 😂

Haha thanks. Nah, I just took a pic and rushed back inside 😅

Thanks! Happy New Year to you too 😃
