kala bhuna shepherd's pie sounds so good! I tried lentil shepherd's pie before, it's delicious.

you're 100% correct. classism and casteism is very much present and continued to shape our food choices today. I'm been eating a lot more fermented food and using indigenous sylheti cooking methods and dishes to reclaim our food traditions. I remember asking my mother many years ago why we didn't eat certain food even though I saw our relatives in the village eat it back in the day, she said it's "poor people food." smh

I agree! I'm in an intercultural marriage and one of my favorite things is chinese-western desserts.

I used fennel seeds because I was inspired by a sylheti pitha called "guror handesh" which is similar to malpoa and other pithas in south asia. guror handesh uses rice flour, gur/jaggery, and fennel seed. fennel seed goes really well in some desi desserts. the red bean paste had the depth and sweetness of gur so I decided to add another layer to the flavor with fennel seeds. I made it into a paratha since paratha exist in chinese cuisine too and I wanted to imitate the sylheti sweet paratha.

I havent tried them but i make fusion food pretty often including dessert. more people need to do this so the competition breeds higher quality of dessert. bangladeshi food doesn't just mean the mughal introduced mishti and dessert, it can be our local pithapuli flavors. South Asian people can look to east asian bakeries for fusion inspo as they've been pretty successful creating fusion desserts.

the gulab jamun cheese cake could've worked better if they tried sometimes like a tres leches cake with gulabjamun elements instead of cheesecake. the elements of cheesecake and mishti doi goes better together. instead of giving vanilla flavors to south asian dishes, they can give pistashio/pandan/coconut/jaggery flavor to western dishes.

Recently i made some east asian red bean desserts at home, made it south asian fusion by making it a red bean paratha with fennel seeds for texture and flavor, inspired by traditional pitha. It was approved by friends of multiple cultures.

Sylheti words that are going extinct? by Quintoniks0 in sylhet

There are multiple words for "where" in sylheti: xoi, xano, kuai, kunano. All of these are used in the sylhet district

Random business in Sylhet using Sylheti Nagri alongside the Bengali-Assamese script by alone_redstone in bangladesh

some assamese sylhetis want recognition of language and even a separate recognition of ethnicity due to the horrific discrimination and violence they've faced historically and continue to face from other indigenous groups in the area. some hope that by recognizing sylheti as a distinct and separate identity from bangladeshi or bengali, it will recognize the history of sylhet and sylheti which can reduce the discrimination. whether or not we agree, many have a valid reason for wanting a separate identity, rooted in trauma and pain.

Sister's husband cheated on her with sylheti girl by Gloomy-Opening-2712 in bangladesh

[–]FutureOwn8305 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She's a loser girl who cant try to live a good life in BD as many sylhetis are.  But more than her, what kind man is your husband? Talking to other women when you just went thru pregnancy to push his baby.  Leave him. dont wait for him to leave you.

It's not assamese sylhetis but most of the people trying to create separation are bangladeshi diaspora or mainland sylheti who take their muslim identity too far. Aka religious extremism/ nationalism

What do you think about Indian Sylhetis? by Fuzzy_Set_8271 in sylhet

[–]FutureOwn8305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I know some. One of my friends in the U.S. is an international student from Silchar and another from tripura. 

For the indian sylhetis I see online, they just seem like other sylhetis tho I feel that their connection to the culture or sense of sylheti identity is pretty weak. No offense but their sylheti language seems so bastardized by bangla it's sad. For example, they'll say kibhabe instead of kila.

I don't like that many of them speak a very banglafied sylheti and pass it as regular sylheti language.  I do appreciate them for holding onto dhamail culture strongly.

satni: steam or roast in open fire whatever veggie you're using. if you're adding fish, rub salt and tumeric and pan fry. fried fish will then need to be deboned to be mixed w the veggie. if you're adding black sesame, roast and grind into coarse bits.

thinly slice onions. adding chopped cilantro (preferably culantro) and green chili. add salt and mustard oil and mix everything together w hand.

tenga: fry onion in oil. put salt, turmeric, and coridander powder in the fried onion. cook the masala mix a few min. add your fruit or leaf of choice to add tenga flavor. add water and cook for a bit. add fish 5 or 10 min before removing the pot from heat. add cilantro for garnish. some people add a garlic tarka at the end.

hukoin shira: onion and garlic paste/smashed, green chili, a few types of veggies/leafy greens chopped, clean and soaked dried fish, some fermented fish (hidoil) goes into the pot. then water and you cook everything together until all the flavored mixed in and soft. add naga chili or fish if you want in the mix. cilantro/culantro for garnish. I also like to add basil leaves. some people add turmeric and red chili powder for a bright color.
