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…
Chingri diye Pui Metuli Chorchori
I made a list of recipes at the beginning of the year with which I plan to work for the entire year. Last year also I had a plan, however, it is more structured this year. After almost 10 years of recipe writing, now that I have around 500 recipes on the blog, I have…
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…

Dhakai Morog Pulao | Sahi Morog Pulao
I have been to Bangladesh a few days back and spent around seven days in Dhaka as well as in the nearby areas. Though it was an official trip, however, I have had sufficient me-time as well. The evenings were free and I had a day and halt to explore the city. I went to…
Dimer Dalna | Bengali Egg Curry with Potato
For the love of “গরগরে লাল” (red hot!) Dimer Dalna I finally have decided to post this recipe. There’s nothing much to be said about this classic Bengali delicacy. This simple Bengali style egg and potato curry is one of the best forms of egg curry for sure. I have posted the recipe of Hanser…

Keema Matar (Mutton mincemeat cooked with green peas)
It is November and yet winter is not ready to bestow us with the sewers and shawls at least in Kolkata. We still are struggling with the regulator of the fan and the AC’s remote. I am sure we are struggling with the age-old question of “What to cook?” or “What can I ask the…
Aminia Special Curry; the recipe unveiled on Aminia’s 90 years in Kolkata!
Aminia turned 90 this year and that for sure is special. When I was requested to write about 90 years of Aminia in Kolkata, I for sure was in dilemma. A Mughlai eatery completing 90 long and successful years in a city like Kolkata is not a matter of joke after all. Needless to say,…
Bhetki Macher Dum
“Maa, how do you get the recipe of Bhetki Macher Dum? I never thought of asking you though we are having it I don’t even remember from when.” I asked my mother after returning from Mumbai where I had a pop up with Madhushree at Mustard, the unsavoured Pujo pop up. I initially was planning…
