Chapli Kabab (8)

This is a Pashtun dish originating from the North West Frontier between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Its popularity spread into the cities of Pakistan and then to certain families in Dhaka in Bangladesh who would serve it on special occassions. This version is from ” Ammu” by Asma Khan

Prawn Croquettes (8)

Another favourite from Bengal which I found in Asma Khan’s ” Ammu”. With British and Portuguese influences recipes like this would have originated as railway meals for the colonial elite, but later spread to the general public.
