“Hey lunch will be Dim Bhapa and Bhat! You can make some Begun Bhaja and there’s some leftover Sona Moong Daal. We are good to go I suppose!” I told Mehebub last Sunday. Needless to say, he was hoping for some Mangshor Jhol and I was not ready to cook the meat separately for us…
Homemade White Bread | Easy Yeast Bread
I never thought of baking bread at home until a few months back. I always have been a lazy baker when it comes to things like bread. Though I use my oven(s) quite often to make regular baked chicken or fish and casseroles but not bread. It happened in the month of April during the…
Doodh Sooji aka Mohanbhog aka Suji
I never liked Doodh Sooji until recently. In fact, I did not cook it since long. Or it is better to say, I never cooked it before just because I don’t like this Bengali dessert. Growing up in a Ghoti household in Central Kolkata, Dudh Suji was like a staple. Our dinner was never completed…
Chicken Salad
Pasta wanted to have some comforting Chicken Salad last night for dinner along with a smoothie. I quite liked her suggestion and ended on making some salad for dinner. This was when I realized I made the video of chicken salad a year back yet not posted the recipe on my blog. I completely forgot….

Nimki Makha

I wanted to write a simple recipe with easily available ingredients. The Nimki Makha I made the day before yesterday after returning home from the office…
Anglo-Indian Bread and Butter Pudding
I remember having Bread and Butter Pudding for the first time at Krishna Mashi’s place. More than that I remember the entire process of making it. We didn’t have an OTG while growing up. Needless to say, cake or pudding was not something we used to have on a regular basis. There was a round…
Birista Pulao aka Piyaz Beresta Pulao
Mehebub requested me to cook some Basanti pulao along with the Goalondo chicken curry last Sunday. While checking the stock I realized I had no cashew nut at home and I decided to skip the Pulao. It was Rosie who suggested me to make the Birista Pulao then! Upon overhearing our discussion Mehebub came into…
Narkeli Jam Pitha
The recipe I am going to share today is a family favorite I learned from my MIL. Easy to make Pitha, Narkeli Jam Pitha is my Makar Sankranti special post here at Debjanir Rannaghar. Pasta decided to pose with the Pitha and it was a complete mess while shooting my moody little thing. She was full…
Bou Khuda (Boua Pulao or Bou Khudi)
“Boudi why this name Bou Khuda?” Rosie asked while posing as my hand model. I was clicking a bowl full of Boua Pulao and Rosie was helping me out as my beloved hand model. Without giving me the time to answer she asked again; “I understand why you love clicking Pasta’s hand while capturing the…
