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…
Panch Phoron Murgi | Bengali Chicken Curry with Panch Phoron

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…
Niramish Bhuni Khichuri | Bengali Bhuni Khichuri
Durga Pujo special Bhuni Khichuri recipe is finally here on the day before Kojagari Laxmi Puja. It is been a month or so I have not written a recipe on the blog. The last two months were quite busy both work-wise and also for the gormei feast, a special event I was part of as…
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…
Gota Roshun diye Mangshor Jhol (Bengali Mutton Curry with Garlic Pod)
I am here with another Mangshor Jhol Recipe. Yes, even after having different versions of Bengali Mutton Curry recipes on the blog, I couldn’t help but write this recipe of Gota Roshun diye Mangshor Jhol! A simple Bengali style mutton curry cooked with whole garlic and it tastes different than regular Bengali mutton curry! In…
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…
