The best thing about winter to me are the winter delicacies. I already have started cooking those at home and in fact, started baking as well. I mostly cook on the weekend as only manages to get time on these two days only after office. Last to last week I cooked Mulo Diye Motor Dal…
Dhakai Morog Pulao | Sahi Morog Pulao
I have been to Bangladesh a few days back and spent around seven days in Dhaka as well as in the nearby areas. Though it was an official trip, however, I have had sufficient me-time as well. The evenings were free and I had a day and halt to explore the city. I went to…
Dimer Dalna | Bengali Egg Curry with Potato
For the love of “গরগরে লাল” (red hot!) Dimer Dalna I finally have decided to post this recipe. There’s nothing much to be said about this classic Bengali delicacy. This simple Bengali style egg and potato curry is one of the best forms of egg curry for sure. I have posted the recipe of Hanser…
