Describe a traditional meal that you prepare in your country on special occasions. v. 1
Describe a traditional meal that you prepare in your country on special occasions. You should say: when you eat that meal how you prepare it what ingredients are used to prepare it and explain why you and people in your country enjoy it.   Model Answer 1: People of my country, Bangladesh, love to prepare all kinds of food, traditional or not, and eat them whether there is an occasion for it or not. Of course, when talking about preparing traditional meals, there are just too many of them to choose. However, today, I would like to about a meal which I don’t only like to enjoy, but also prepare it myself from time to time. The name of this meal in my language is called “vegetable Khichuri” or “Hotchpotch” in plain English. Even though this particular meal is traditionally enjoyed mostly during the rainy day, its savoury taste, along with its easy cooking methods, makes it a very popular food item pretty much for all occasions. So, what is exactly a “khichuri” or Bangladeshi version of hotchpotch? Well, in plain English, it is a food which is prepared by combining mainly rice and lentils, together with a number of spices. However, this popular food item achieves its ultimate height of taste when it is also prepared by mixing either eggs and meats or vegetables. Anyway, in order to prepare a vegetable khichuri, we first wash rice and lentils and soak them together in cold water for 40 minutes. After draining the water from the mixture, we mix them with a paste of turmeric powder, red chilli powder, and cumin powder. Then, whole chilli and cumin seeds are also added in the heated oil of a pan, and once they start to pop up, onions and ginger are added to sauté them till light brown. After that, we add rice and lentils with everything and boil them until they are properly cooked. Finally, we add some cinnamon powder to it, once cooked, and cover the pan for 30 minutes. People in my country enjoy this particular meal because it tastes so delicious and yet very easy to digest because it is prepared mostly with vegetables and almost no fat. They enjoy this meal also because they don’t really need any other things to eat with it. It is just a perfect meal by itself.
