Narkel diye Niramish Ghugni | Bengali No Onion No Garlic Ghugni or Yellow Peas Curry with Fried Coconut
Be it after Bijaya Dashami or any uninformed visit to her, Dida was always kind enough to cook the best Niramish Ghugni for me over the years with fried sliced Coconut. Neither dry nor runny, a bit massy and with a few peas intact, with the fainted smell of Ghee, Narkel diye Niramish Ghugni was…
Restaurant Style Chicken Malai Kebab | Chicken Reshmi Kebab | Murg Malai Kebab
Cooking is a passion for me but the lethargic me does not like to invest huge time in cooking. I prefer fuss-free arrangements and also use of locally available ingredients while cooking.

Kolkata style Chicken Bharta | Down the memory lane with Chicken Bharta

Two in One Sondesh; not the ice cream!
