Rui Kanchkolar Hingi
My man always had this feeling that you eat kanchakola (plantain) only when you have a troubled stomach 😂😂. so this weekend while I took out plantain from the refrigerator he asked me
Is our son suffering from a troubled stomach? With a frowning face, I answer him
Not that I know.
Then why are you cooking kanchakola today? At times it becomes very difficult to convince him.
Without any further argument, I set out to prepare Rui kanchkolar Hingi.
Its lunch time and I serve him the Hingi
O maa ei jhol ta to aaj darun hoeche. I was happy.
Put it on the party menu when we invite someone to our place he said.
My 3 yr old says Eta khete bhalo hoechhe 😃 what else does a chef need?
