Magur Macher Rosha is a family favorite. I cook it whenever we pick fresh Magur mach from the market. I have a horrible experience eating Magurer Jhol all through childhood. This particular fish is considered to be good for growing kids. In my ancestral house, the kid clan had to eat a runny macher jhol…
Phulkopi Aloo diye Chingri Kaliya | Bengali Prawn Curry with Potato and Cauliflower
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…
Ilish Mach er Dim Bhuna | Ilish Mach er Dim er Jhuri
It’s been a long I was planning to post the recipe of Ilish Mach er Dim Bhuna yet I was not able to make it. The reason is nothing but the availability of Ilish Mach-er dim aka Hilsa roe in bulk. However, the last week’s purchase had more than enough roe to make the Ilish…

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…
