MasterChef Australia: Kishwar brings Khichuri and Machh Vaja

Entertainment Desk :
Another typical Bengali cuisine – Khichuri and Machh Vaja – has made its way to the table of Masterchef Australia by the hands of its popular
contestant Kishwar Chowdhury. The 38-year-old Bangladeshi expat has become a favourite name among the audience and the judges for putting forward authentic Bengali dishes on an international platform. In the most recent episode of Masterchef Australia, Kishwer made Bangladeshi comfort food Khichuri (rice and lentil dish), Machh Vaja (pan-seared spiced bream), Begun Vorta (smoked eggplant) and Niramish (vegetable medley). By this way she earned lots of praises and appreciation both online and offline.
Kishwer shared the picture on her Instagram handle. Earlier on, she gained a whole lot of appreciation for introducing popular local snacks – Fuchka, Chotpoti, Samosa and a tamarind dip to the show. Earlier, Kishwar has cooked Kala Bhuna — following her father’s recipe and traditional Machher Jhol from her mother’s recipe. In conversation with the Huffington post, Kishwar previously revealed she comes from ‘a big family of cooks,’ and is proud of using recipes from her loved ones to make her own versions of them in the kitchen. A mother of two, Kishwer is pursuing her dream of becoming a cookbook author aiming to showcase recipes handed down
by her mother Laila Chowdhury.
The homemaker made her way to MasterChef Australia Season 13 with her sardines in green mango broth, served with black lentils, beetroot and blood orange bhorta. MasterChef Australia is an Australian competitive cooking show based on the original British MasterChef.
