Hello friends

Assalamu Alaikum

I am @jollymonoara from Bangladesh .

Friends for the one and two weeks season Engagement challenge that was received and supported here I was not able to participate but I am grateful and thank you all for coming up with a very nice cooking challenge in Steemit Iron Chef Community . In which we are asked to test our creativity and cooking taste and journey and skills in the kitchen by serving a cooking recipe.

SEC-S16W3 ||Culinary Change : A Journey of Flavors

Now is our time to shine and show recipes how we can combine our food and our culture and heart to express our own creativity and present a beautiful recipe.

So I may embark on a culinary adventure in this blessed month of Ramadan, especially at Iftar.

Now is the month of Ramadan so after fasting all day I want my meals to be full of energy and full of healthy and nutritious iftar. So I will not cook any recipe today. I will show you a fruit salad recipe with different types of fruits and few ingredients.

We all like to eat fruit, but if different types of fruits can be eaten together, it is beneficial for the health of the body as well as providing more nutrients.

Today I must choose my dish and present you the recipe of the dish, but I will tell you why I chose it. I don't know which culture it comes from and I enjoy making this dish and I taste this dish with great pleasure. I accept. Just as I am satisfied by eating the food, the taste and texture of the food is amazing to me.

I usually don't eat all kinds of fruits, especially yellow and soft ones. So I try to eat the fruits in a different way in the form of a salad. I have seen in many countries cuisines have a dessert item with different kinds of fruits. So I also try to make this fruit salad as a dessert. I did And when I eat it, it feels very tasty to me. I feel that the whole taste of the restaurant is here.

Usually during Ramzan month I actually prepare it because iftar should have more fruit items but we prefer to eat more snack items or fried foods than fruits which is very harmful to health. A bowl of fruit removes the fatigue of the body and removes the lack of water in the body.

After fasting all day, I like to cut all the fruits and eat them in the form of salad instead of eating different kinds of fruits separately. And in this more fruits can be eaten and the taste of the fruits is doubled as well as the nutrients. Moreover, each of the ingredients that I use to make this fruit salad are healthy foods and beneficial for the body..

These days there are many types of food salad making on YouTube so I also made this fruit salad according to my desire and the ingredients I had to use to make this fruit salad are: Among the different fruits are Apple, Grapes, Pomegranates, Banana and Dates.

And my main ingredient to make this salad was Curd.

Other ingredients were Mint leaves, salt, sugar, pepper powder and lemon.

Now I will cut the rest of the fruits and arrange them separately.

Along with these fruits I will finely chop some mint leaves and green chillies.

When all the fruits are cut, I will take one spoon of sugar, one spoon of salt and one spoon of pepper powder in another plate.

Now put all the fruits in another bowl and mix it well with salt sugar and chilies. After all the workshops are done I mix 2 tbsp of sour curd well and make my yummy delicious salad and serve it to eat.

Food is a social and cultural bridge between us especially in some countries of the world. We live by eating food. . The cooking process of each country is different. We are Bengalis and our main food is rice and fish and among the traditional dishes our popular dishes are biryani, chicken polao, kebabs and dessert items and fish and meat barbeques especially in any cultural program.

If we go somewhere, we can see that the food of our country is similar to the food of many countries.
This kind of rich food is made our neighboring countries India, and Pakistan.

Again, the food culture of other countries can be seen in our country's professional restaurants

Besides, especially Thai and Chinese dishes are very popular in our country
We occasionally prepare Thai food and Chinese food items.

Sometimes meat chops, tom yum soup, refreshing vegetable salad and shrimp or fish can be tasted with these dishes in Thai restaurants.

Pushing open the restaurant's glass doors, the fresh scent of mint and lemon grass will fill you in.
But these kinds of food are being made in our country, so it seems that I am smelling the food of China and Thailand from my country.

Rice is commonly eaten in our country like India, Pakistan, China, Thailand.

This food represents the attitude of tolerance and only rice can be eaten with anything and we can add many types of items to this rice.

Thailand is a country that is the main source of tourism, where if you go to Thailand, you can find the same snake of our country's food in every restaurant in Thailand, in addition, pickled meat and dumplings like China, which are known as momo in our country.

The cultural spirit of Thailand and China can be reflected in the food.
So our country can also reflect the cultural spirit of Thailand and China and Indian food.

Besides, the taste of Indian and Pakistani Mughlai and Hyderabadi Biryani is available in our local restaurants. And the variety of cuisines of these different countries are now adorning every kitchen to taste the food lovers of our country.
So I think food can create social and cultural bridges in many countries of the world as well as meeting people's nutritional needs.
