Shobji diye Shutki Macher Jhol
I am not going with the recipe planner of mine at this moment. Instead, I am cooking reasonably with the resources available at this moment. This is the wise thing to do at this moment when we are isolated and fighting against the evil of coronavirus. The last few days were weird. We both are…

Chingri diye Pui Metuli Chorchori

Begun Basanti aka Bengali Begun Bashonti
I think I have written about the only-veg Saturdays several times over here at Debjanir Rarraghar. How can I not by the way?
