Old Dhaka Food Tour, pt. 1

One of the most important lessons from my food tour of Bangladesh: don’t say no to tehari.

I love biryani. IYKYK. Crowd pleaser. But tehari? That’s biryani done the Bengali way… and I think that’s the way I like it most!

Most biryanis have an aggressive up front kick. I like a good spicy dish, but sometimes it can drown out other flavors, and flavors like the deep, savory mutton and spice in tehari? That’s stuff you don’t want to upstage too much.
