HA(n)RIR KHABAR BHOJBAJI

The annual food festival "Ha(n)rir Khabar Bhojbaji" was organised by the popular Bengali channel TARA MUZIK at the Swabhumi Rangomancho Kolkata on 15th November 2009.
As a TARA club member I was invited by them to a cookery show and participated in the non-vegetarian section. Though I did not win a prize I was kind of surprised because the two judges between them polished off the entire portion that I had cooked for the show. Perhaps they did not realise that the really interesting part of my "BECTI TEFLORA" was that you could eat up the wrapping leaf and not have to worry about what to do with the soiled banana leaf that is generally used in such dishes.
