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…
Kolkata Biryani Masala
It is been long the readers of my blog and the viewers of my IGTV, as well as youtube channel, are requesting the video recipe of the Calcutta Biryani. It took me ten years to come up with the Kolkata Mutton Biryani post. Needless to say, I did not give much thought to the video…
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! This justification is needed as I already have Chanar Dalna recipe on the blog. Hence, I must write why this separate recipe again! The reason behind the same is quite simple….

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…
Bhapa Doi (Bengali Steamed Yogurt)
Bhapa Doi is something I make whenever I have to cater guests in a larger quantity at home! It takes hardly a few ingredients and steaming to make a perfect bowl of this Bengali delicacy. A few days back I had Bhapa Doi at a restaurant which was unbalanced though prepared with the ingredients we…
Keema Matar (Mutton mincemeat cooked with green peas)
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…
