Reading this recipe of Kachur Lathi with Shrimp and the story behind it brought back some sweet memories of my childhood. The fact that I took on the responsibility of the family in the absence of my father at a very young age is truly inspiring. The real taste and technique of cooking that lies in the hands of mothers is once again clear from your post. In my opinion, the combination of Kachur Lathi and Shrimp is one of the best dishes of rural Bengal. This recipe, rich in calcium, iron and vitamin C, is not only nutritious, but also goes well with hot rice. The mention of the traditional Sholaka, Sidal and Dim-Alur Dal of the Rangpur region also seemed quite regional and culturally friendly. Your description of the cultural importance of regional foods is especially unique. The message that you have given as a man to learn cooking out of the urge to become self-reliant is truly commendable. Overall, the article was as much about cooking as it was about emotion. Good luck to you in this contest. 😊
