Biyebarir Fish Butter Fry is one delicacy (amongst a few more) that we the 80s kids (and even before) enjoyed during our childhood which I suppose the millennials did not. To them, it is Bhetki Batter Fry if at all they are lucky to have this during a marriage feast! While frying the Bhetki batter…
Malai Kofta
The Daughter loves Paneer a lot and in any form and I cook different dishes with Paneer once a week. Malai kofta is one dish she prefers a lot for the creamy texture of the gravy and also for the subtle flavors. Paneer Malai Kofta is really easy to cook and can be served with…
Panch Phoron Murgi | Bengali Chicken Curry with Panch Phoron
Panch Phoron Murgi is my way of giving a little twist to the good old everyday Bengali chicken curry aka Murgir Jhol at home. Chandana di, our cook is responsible for making the breakfast and also the lunch which mostly Pasta and her nanny eat and also our parents whenever they are at our place….
Murgi Khichuri | Murgir Mangshor Khichuri
Are you wondering why I am sharing the recipe of Murgi Khichuri just after the recipe of Bhuni Khichuri? The reason is quite simple. These days we are mainly living on one-pot meals especially dishes that can be cooked in a pressure cooker within no-time. After the marathon pujo cooking, I am taking a break…

Chingri Mathar Kalia
The lockdown period has taught us a lot and in my case good things. I read the books again which I used to read as a kid. I talked to a lot of people whom I should have contacted earlier to say “thanks for being with me all these years”. Amongst other things, It helped…
Doodh Sooji aka Mohanbhog aka Suji
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…
