My day-to-day routine includes watching cooking videos and food review vlogs - as a must-do. I know my place and don't consider myself a food expert, even a critic/reviewer. I am a mare food-lover at most. I really appreciate the science and arts of cooking and food altogether. One of the channels, in one of the countless media, I follow with a lot of respect and lots-lots of awe is " Wilderness Cooking ". A couple of weeks ago I watched an episode where Chef Tawakkul cooks "Pilaf" with homegrown ingredients, with passion, on Navruz, which is a Persian New Year event on the verge of Vernal Equinox and celebrated widely in Uzbekistan. Interestingly, Navruz means new day or new year literally. And since 14th April is the Bengali New Year day, I thought, what if I try the dish and give it a "Bangla" touch! What can go wrong? Well, nothing did go wrong and I was in for a surprise. I will try to share my experience with cooking Pilaf and Tandoori chicken
