Bhuna Khichuri (Bangladesh) image

This recipe is from week 21 of my food blog, Travel by Stove. I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and Bangladesh is my 21st stop. Khichuri can be made with meat or vegetables; this version is served as a side dish and contains cauliflower and potatoes.
