“Hey lunch will be Dim Bhapa and Bhat! You can make some Begun Bhaja and there’s some leftover Sona Moong Daal. We are good to go I suppose!” I told Mehebub last Sunday. Needless to say, he was hoping for some Mangshor Jhol and I was not ready to cook the meat separately for us…
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.

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…

Shobji diye Shutki Macher Jhol
I am not going with the recipe planner of mine at this moment. Instead, I am cooking reasonably with the resources available at this moment. This is the wise thing to do at this moment when we are isolated and fighting against the evil of coronavirus. The last few days were weird. We both are…

Dim Pauruti aka Bengali Dim Toast
Dim Pauruti , Dim Pauruti , Dim Pauruti ….. Dekha hain pehli bar sajan ki ankhon main pyar…. Remember this famous parody we (the 80s and 90s kids) grew up singing happily while using the bench in school as our drum? All thanks to this parody I finally can update the blog today. I was…
