Hello friends,

How are you all?I am @shimulakter,joining you from Bangladesh.Hope everyone is well. Alhamdulillah,I am also well.Today I am participating in this wonderful competition organized by @ngoenyi ma'am.I really like participating in any competition.So whenever I get a chance,I participate in various competitions.

Recipe for thin red lentil soup:

Today's first recipe is a recipe for thin lentil soup.Our Bengalis have thin lentils in their daily diet.Lentils are rich in protein.This lentil recipe is very popular in our country.We eat lentils every day.The poor and helpless people of our country eat this lentil with rice to fulfill their protein deficiency.Because they cannot afford to buy fish and meat.That is why this lentil acts as a protein.I also cook this lentil recipe occasionally. Because children like it.

Main Ingredients and Cooking Method:

The main ingredient in cooking dal is lentils.The lentils are boiled,crushed and cooked with chopped onion and garlic.If someone wants, they can add raw mango,chalta and olives to this dal.This makes the dal sour.It is great to eat rice with sour dal in this summer.

Reason for choosing this food:

Bengalis mean Bengalis who eat fish and rice. However,the poor and helpless people of our country cannot afford to buy fish.They spend their lives eating rice and pulses.These pulses are easily available and are full of non-vegetarian food.Judging by these aspects,I really like this recipe.

Mixed vegetables:

My daily lunch must include some vegetables or greens.I can't eat rice if I only cook fish and meat.I eat vegetables with a little rice and fill my stomach.This helps me lose weight.Although I am not fat,I don't want to become fat,so I have prepared a recipe with all kinds of vegetables. These types of vegetables are very beneficial for the body.

Main Ingredients and Cooking Method:

The main ingredients of this recipe are various vegetables.Here I used papaya,sweet pumpkin,a little potato,patal and a little pui shak.If you want,you can also use any other vegetables of your choice.It was very delicious to eat after cooking.Wash the vegetables and boil them until soft.Then add chopped onion and garlic and mix with panchphodan to taste and you have a mixed vegetable.

Reason for choosing this food:

I like mixed vegetables because the different vegetables added to this recipe make it very delicious to eat.This recipe is full of nutrients. And this recipe is perfect for those who are on a diet.So I want to eat this kind of mixed vegetables every day.Although it is not possible to cook it every day.

Kunafa Dessert Recipe:

Kunafa recipe is an Arabian dessert.We Bengalis love to eat sweet food. And so we eat various types of sweets in our country.I also made this dessert from a foreign country at home one day after watching YouTube. The recipe is very delicious to eat.

Main Ingredients and Cooking Method:

The main ingredients of this recipe are semai, milk,cheese and sugar.The top of the kunafa is crispy and the inside is filled with milky curd.In this recipe,the milk is thickened and the semai is fried with ghee.When the milk thickens,mix cheese and custard powder in it, mix it with the milk, make a paste of the mixture and put the mixture inside the semai and bake it.Then sprinkle almonds on top of the kunafa and serve.

Reason for choosing this food:

The reason for liking the Kunafa recipe is to try new recipes.We prepare various types of sweet dishes during Eid.Paes,Polao,Zarda,Semai are cooked. The same type of sweet dishes are not always liked.So the Kunafa recipe was originally created to try different recipes from different countries.And everyone liked the recipe very much. So now during Eid, along with all the other sweet dishes,I have to make the Kunafa recipe.

Sweet Chalta Pickle:

I really like to eat pickles of any fruit.My son also likes it very much.So yesterday I made the pickled chaltar at home.Now is the chaltar season.So I preserved this chaltar by making pickles.This pickle can be kept and eaten all year round.

Main Ingredients and Cooking Method:

Now is the season of chaltar.We Bengalis make and preserve chaltar pickles to get the taste of chaltar all year round.And making this chaltar pickle is very easy.To make this pickle,you need chaltar,sugar,panchforan, and dried chili. Cutting the chaltar is a little difficult but making the pickle is very easy.The cut chaltar is lightly steamed,drained of water and mixed with sugar and fried powder of panchforan.The taste of chaltar is sour.Therefore, this chaltar pickle is made with sugar and dried chili powder to bring a sweet-sour flavor.The taste is great.Moreover, chaltar has many nutritional properties.

Reason for choosing this food:

I like this pickle very much.Because I like sour things very much.But children do not like to eat so much sour things.So I make this pickle with a little salt and sugar.I saw in a video on YouTube that Chalta has many benefits,including liver, kidney and even cold and cough.So now I eat this Chalta thinking about its nutritional value.

What are the factors that made you to settle for this food? Is it because of finance, what is available in your culture, what the family decides, your cravings and so on. Just be creative and let us learn.

I have tried to highlight one meal for each of the four days of the week in this post.The daily meal has to be prepared according to the family's preferences.However, sometimes there are some limitations,so you have to spend the day with a light meal.Not all days go the same way. The daily meal list is determined by considering the family members and financial aspects.

So guys,it's time to leave.I hope you like my belog and give me a good response.befote I am going I would like to invite my lovely steemit friends-@bdwomen @selina75 @fasoniya to invite this contest.

Best regards,

@shimulakter
