Biye Bari Chicken Roast
Hello Everyone, excuse my poof writing skills.
For those who grew up in the village (or at least from where I am from), one of the dishes served at weddings was chicken roast. They would serve Pulao, Chicken Roast, Beef, dal, and payesh (as far as I recall, it's been a while since I went to a Wedding in Bangladesh).
My question is, where does this dish come from? A quick search on the internet told me it came from Mughlai cooking, possibly getting the form we know from Puran Dhaka.
I am more interested in knowing why we call it Chicken Roast. It does not have anything to do with European Roast Chicken. So how come a possible Mughlai heritage dish, served at a village wedding in Bangladesh, comes to share a name with a European dish? What colonial misunderstanding are we dealing with here?
