Taking Bangali Ranna Ghar to the World: Kishwar Chowdhury presents Bengali comfort food 'Panta Bhat' as her final dish in Master Chef Australia.

Panta Bhaat has always been ruling over the hearts of every Bengali, it is the ultimate Bengali comfort food and has made its place in MasterChef Australia. All credits go to contestant Kishwar Chowdhury who put it out there. She is one of the three grand finalists on the show.

The contestant, Kishwar Chowdhury, who originally belongs to Bangladesh, is one of the Top 3 contestants of MasterChef Australia Season 13. The 38-year-old has impressed the judges and left a forever mark with her Bengali dishes. For the final feast, she will be presenting the judges with the popular Bengali dish, Panta Bhaat. She called the dish Smoked Rice Water, which was paired up with Aloo Bhorta and Sardines.

Kishwar had earlier impressed the MasterChef Australia judges with Bengali Khichuri and Begun Bharta. While presenting her final dish to the judges, she said that this the type of food that you wouldn't see in a restaurant anywhere. So, it feels scary but it also feels extremely rewarding to do this as her final dish.

Judges Melissa Leong, Andy Allen and Jock Zonfrillo have always been big fans of Kishwar's cooking. Seeing her final dish, Melissa Leong said this is a powerful food. To have the heart and soul of the dish be all about something as simple as rice and water and seasoning, it is powerful with history and it is powerful with flavour.

Andy Allen was also mighty impressed with the dish and added that It's just such a beautiful contrast between the beautiful pillowy potato, the rice, the smoked water, and then that oily fish.

Kishwar has proved that Bengali cuisine, emerging from the roots of our culture has the potential to impress and astonish international chefs, and are no less exquisite than the five-star dishes served all over the world. With this, Bengali food certainly deserves more praise and value all over the globe.
