Nalli Nihari is something that I cook every winter and yet I haven’t written the recipe over the years. One of the main reasons was the pictures. I wasn’t able to click the pictures over the years or whatever I captured I wasn’t happy with those. I have eight sets of Nihari pictures available from…
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…
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…
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,…
Bengali Mete Chorchori (Mutton Liver side with Potato chunks)
Chorchori is a famous Bengali sidedish. Chorchori is neither a fry nor a curry. This particular side dish is characterized by the cut of ingredients (be it vegetables or animal protein). In Bengali cuisine, there are dishes such as Chorchori, Dalna, Ghonto, Jhol, Jhal, etc where the cuts of veggies are completely different. Being said…
Mangsha Tarkari ( Oriya Mutton Curry)
My food writing for sure will be incomplete if I skip mentioning Mukti dada. Mukti Das whom I fondly called Mukti dada was the Odia cook we had for long at our north Calcutta residence. In this post, I will be sharing the recipe of Mangsha Tarkari aka Odia Mutton Curry. A dish I had…
Kolkata Mutton Biryani | Calcutta Biryani
“Hey we are not in Kolkata and I want to have Kolkata Mutton Biryani! Can we make some?” If you love me; you will give me the Nolir Har from your Mutton Biryani!” (Nolir Har is the heavenly marrow bone) “Hey, I am feelling blue! It was a tough day at the office! Can we…
Posto Mangsho (Bengali Mutton Curry cooked with Poppy Seed Paste)
It was Mehebub who told me to cook Posto Magsho last Sunday. I try to not to cook Posto Mangsho unless there is a request! I though am a Ghoti (Both my parents are from Hooghly) however, I never liked Posto much! They say at my house, I eat like Thakuma and I cook like…
Mangshor Jhol (Bengali light Mutton curry) in a Pressure Cooker!
Why do I need a recipe separately for Mangshor Jhol when I already have Kochi Pathar Jhol on my blog? Well, why not when Kochi Pathar Jhol is all about the lean meat chunks from a smaller goat and that makes Mangshor Jhol different from the Kochi Pathar jhol! I do not imagine my portion…
