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…
Halwai Style Balushahi!
It’s been long I was craving for the halwai style Balushahi. Needless to say, it is not possible to order the famous Indian sweetmeat during the lockdown. Though in Kolkata, Swiggy and Zomato services are available, however, offerings are for sure limited. This is when I decided to make it at home! It took me…
Paneer er Dalna | Niramish Paneer Er Torkari
Personally, Paneer is not a favorite! I prefer Channa, however, the daughter loves Paneer and hence, Paneer er Dalna is the adjustment between us!

Dim Pauruti aka Bengali Dim Toast
Dim Pauruti , Dim Pauruti , Dim Pauruti ….. Dekha hain pehli bar sajan ki ankhon main pyar…. Remember this famous parody we (the 80s and 90s kids) grew up singing happily while using the bench in school as our drum? All thanks to this parody I finally can update the blog today. I was…
Chana Bhapa
“Momma, can I have some Chana Bhapa? ” Pasta asked the day before rather innocently! “Why do you want to eat Bhapa Chana all of a sudden! Moreover, we don’t have chana available. Not that I cannot make it at home” I replied while packing her tiffin and my lunch for the office. “There’s chana…
