It was Mehebub who told me to cook Posto Magsho last Sunday. I personally am not a big fan of this dish however the rest of the family loves it. While they had it, I ended on having a light Chicken curry with rice. Posto aka Poppy Seed is one of the widely used spice…
Cucumber Raita | Kheera Raita | Indian Yogurt and Cucumber Salad
Now that summer is here, I have started making Raita almost every day. I use different, veggies, boondi or fruits to make Raita along with Yogurt (or hung curd). I make a big portion for both lunch and dinner. Pasta though not loves Raita (if not made with Pineapple) however, she does not complain when…
Komola Kheer | Kheer Komola | Bengali Orange Kheer | Komlalebur Payesh
Komola Kheer aka Kheer Komola is a famous Bengali winter special dessert. Last winter I made it several times at Debjanir Rannaghar. In fact, my winter pop-up menu was also having the Komlalebur Payesh as dessert. I clicked the pictures during the pop up only. However, I did not post the recipe of Komola Kheer…
Mangshor Jhol (Bengali light Mutton curry)
Why do I need a recipe separately for Mangshor Jhol when I already have Kochi Pathar Jhol on my blog? Well, why not when Kochi Pathar Jhol is all about the lean meat chunks from a smaller goat and that makes Mangshor Jhol different from the Kochi Pathar jhol! I do not imagine my portion of…
Narkeli Jam Pitha
The recipe I am going to share today is a family favorite I learned from my MIL. Easy to make Pitha, Narkeli Jam Pitha is my Makar Sankranti special post here at Debjanir Rannaghar. Pasta decided to pose with the Pitha and it was a complete mess while shooting my moody little thing. She was full…
Rosh Bora (Fritters served with Runny Sugar/ Jaggery syrup) | Bengali Rosh Bora recipe
“Pasta seems your mother decided to not to make Pithe this year. We have not had Rosh Bora even!” “Hmmmmm Papa” “Pasta do you even know what Pithe is?” “No Papa!” “Then why that Hmmmmm? You are just like your mother! Hmm is your favorite phrase whenever you think you don’t need to answer! “Hmmmmm…
Methi Murgh Malai
Believe me or not I was in a dilemma whether to write the recipe of Methi Murgh Malai or to write something else as part of this post! Whether to do things which I am not comfortable with! Whether to stop improving the blog every day! Another and the most important thought; whether to write…
Gota Moshlar Mangsho | Kata Moshlar Mangsho | Mutton cooked with whole spices
“It is Gota Moshlar Mangsho, not Kata Moshlar Mangsho!” This was me! “You don’t know anything! Maa always refer it as Kata Moshlar Mangsho, not Gota Moshlar Mangsho!” This was my worse half while managing the Marrowbone from Mangsho I cooked for his birthday. The banter over the Bengali mutton curry was quite interesting however, I decided…
Hyderabadi Double ka Meetha
“Hey, are you making Double ka Meetha for my birthday dinner! Oh No!” this was the birthday boy (my worse half) upon knowing there will be double ka Meetha for dinner! I was quite shocked seeing his reaction. As much as I know this is one of his favorite desserts. I, in fact, make it quite…
Chaler Payesh aka Bengali Rice Kheer
“Papa; Momma is making Chaler Payesh” I smiled listening to my five-years-old. She loves Chaler Payesh. Though at home we simply call this delicacy Payesh (without prefixing it with Rice or Chal). This was the day of Soptomi and I was cooking Payesh in bulk like every year. I was relaxed and cooking it with…
