“It is Gota Moshlar Mangsho, not Kata Moshlar Mangsho!” This was me! “You don’t know anything! Maa always refer it as Kata Moshlar Mangsho, not Gota Moshlar Mangsho!” This was my worse half while managing the Marrowbone from Mangsho I cooked for his birthday. The banter over the Bengali mutton curry was quite interesting however, I decided…
Hyderabadi Haleem | Mutton Haleem | Haleem Recipe
Haleem probably is the only dish for which I prefer the Hyderabadi version over the Kolkata version. Rich, thick, mushy, well-blended, Haleem is one of its kind for sure!

Kolkata’s Mutton Tikia, the meaty delicacy!
“Dada please pack one Mutton Tikia and two Rumali Roti. I want extra gravy too”; It was the regular order by the teenage girl I was fifteen years back. With the pocket money I used to receive, One Tikia, Two Roti followed by one Khirkodom or 100g Bonde were all I could afford for the…

Mutton Ghee Roast | Mangalorean delicacy, Mutton Ghee Roast
Hectic outstation trips, and then returning to the hotel in the evening! Sounds similar I guess (especially to those who opt for the trips often) but believe me those trips are not that bad. Especially when the days ended with the local delicacy. Wherever I have worked, trips are always been part of my responsibility….

Exploring the unexplored: My take on Dhansak after attending the Food Fest at Parsee Club
I don’t know how much justified it to say that Parsi food is actually unexplored; well if we consult the availability of reference on the internet it is needless to say that the food history, recipes etc. are not available in abundant alike other cuisines. My relation with Parsi community is actually limited to the…
