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…
Chaler Payesh aka Bengali Rice Kheer
“Papa; Momma is making Chaler Payesh” I smiled listening to my five-years-old. She loves Chaler Payesh. Though at home we simply call this delicacy Payesh (without prefixing it with Rice or Chal). This was the day of Soptomi and I was cooking Payesh in bulk like every year. I was relaxed and cooking it with…
Aam Kola Doi Chire Makha; the bowl full of comfort from both the houses I call home!
Mehebub was horrified when I told him about my upcoming blogpost! A true blue Bengali one-pot meal and I believe one of the most underrated.

Banoffee Panna Cotta with Cherry Compote

There are people, my family and especially the little lady and even colleagues, and friends who encourage and…

I do make several drinks, desserts, etc. using mango and drinks with ripe mangos are family favorites. However, Pasta…
Mangsher Ghughni | Yellow Pea Curry with Minced Mutton
I was kind of relaxed when I was clicking the pictures for this post and I calculated even that it is going to take very little time to conceptualize it but here I am; totally confused! Not that I am going to write about anything fancy or complicated instead it is something quintessentially Bengali; nothing…
Sabudana Khichdi: A kick-start Breakfast to welcome the Poila Boishakh
The first day of the year is one of the special days of our life and obviously we bongs are no exception to this. We celebrate our truly bongly Poila Boishakh (the first day of the month of Boishakh) on our unique way. A day very special to the Bongs when we traditionally start our…
