With the availability of seasonal cauliflower and fresh prawns, our lunch last Sunday was comforting with Phulkopi Aloo diye Chingri Kaliya. Though available all through the year now, cauliflower, even today is a winter favorite. This curry with cauliflower I am talking about is a Bengali staple. We cook different curries using it and complementing it…
Biyebarir Fish Butter Fry aka Bhetki Batter Fry
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…
Joggi Barir Mangsho| Biyebarir Mutton Curry
Joggi Barir Mangsho for sure is not an SEO friendly title. The tech geeks would suggest me to use an SEO friendly title for the Bengali Mutton curry such as Mangshor Jhol or Kosha Mangsho to get more views. However, that would not be justified considering Joggi Barir Mangsho is not regular Mangsher Jhol or…

Ilish Mach er Dim Bhuna | Ilish Mach er Dim er Jhuri
It’s been a long I was planning to post the recipe of Ilish Mach er Dim Bhuna yet I was not able to make it. The reason is nothing but the availability of Ilish Mach-er dim aka Hilsa roe in bulk. However, the last week’s purchase had more than enough roe to make the Ilish…
Pork Rezala
Pork Rezala and I am going with this name only knowing the fact that traditionalists can bash me. Can pork at all be used while making Rezala? What do you think? I was in dilemma before writing this blog post. After all, I am talking about quintessential rezala! I was planning to use some other…
