It is November and yet winter is not ready to bestow us with the sewers and shawls at least in Kolkata. We still are struggling with the regulator of the fan and the AC’s remote. I am sure we are struggling with the age-old question of “What to cook?” or “What can I ask the…
Cucumber Raita | Kheera Raita | Indian Yogurt and Cucumber Salad
Now that summer is here, I have started making Raita almost every day. I use different, veggies, boondi or fruits to make Raita along with Yogurt (or hung curd). I make a big portion for both lunch and dinner. Pasta though not loves Raita (if not made with Pineapple) however, she does not complain when…
Sukhi Urad Dal
It was the last Friday when I I called my house-help from office. I requested her to soak a cup full of Kalai Dal (Dhuli Urad Dal) for around eight hours. I had a plan to make Bedmi Poori which requires soaked Urad Dal to make the stuffing. Can you find anything wrong with this? Believe…

Gajar Ka Halwa | Gajar Halwa | Carrot Halwa

Methi Paratha
Preparing the lunch box for Pasta these days is a tedious task. She is though not a choosy and picky eater, but she loves variations. Given Pasta loves Paratha especially as part of her lunch box that she carries to school, I make it almost twice a week for her. She, in fact, has a typical…
