Bangladeshi Morog Polao


Bangladeshi Chicken Polao or Morog Polao is incredibly finger-licking, satisfying, gently spiced, not too greasy, yet simple to prepare one-dish chicken-rice meal. Unlike Biriyani that is as tasty as this Polao but it doesn't take elaborate preparation to make. The color, flavor and texture of rice and chicken is so delectable that I will definitely make again n again.

Challah

It's the time of the year when I love to bake lots of goodies. Challah is one them and I've been baking it for years during Christmas time mostly. It tastes as great as store bought. It's so exciting to see golden crusted braided Challah comes out from the oven that looks stunning but easy to do. The Challah is a traditional 4-12 strand braided bread. My 4, 5 and 6 strand braided Challah look fabulous and I just feel like a pro; but I am not, because I haven't mastered to braid more than 6 strand Challah yet.
