In this Bangladeshi adaptation, the original Balkan recipe is transformed by incorporating Bangladeshi spices and flavors. The addition of spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala gives the soup a distinct Bangladeshi taste. The use of coconut milk adds a creamy texture and a touch of sweetness, which is not typically found in the original recipe.
