It was Mehebub who told me to cook Posto Magsho last Sunday. I personally am not a big fan of this dish however the rest of the family loves it. While they had it, I ended on having a light Chicken curry with rice. Posto aka Poppy Seed is one of the widely used spice…
Cucumber Raita | Kheera Raita | Indian Yogurt and Cucumber Salad
Now that summer is here, I have started making Raita almost every day. I use different, veggies, boondi or fruits to make Raita along with Yogurt (or hung curd). I make a big portion for both lunch and dinner. Pasta though not loves Raita (if not made with Pineapple) however, she does not complain when…
Kasundi Ilish (Hilsa cooked with Bengali Mustard Sauce Kasundi)

Komola Kheer | Kheer Komola | Bengali Orange Kheer | Komlalebur Payesh
Komola Kheer aka Kheer Komola is a famous Bengali winter special dessert. Last winter I made it several times at Debjanir Rannaghar.

“There will be only Pyaz Diye Masoor Dal along with Bhat and Aloo Bhate for Lunch Dolon! Can’t make anything else; not even Mach Bhaja. Please take extra money from me and have something good during the lunch break at university!” Nah I was not happy or felt obliged on that day! To me, it…
Bhapa Chingri aka Bengali Chingri Bhapa
“If I purchase medium-sized fresh Prawns; will one coconut be enough for 500g prawns? You are not going to make Chingri Macher Malai Kari with medium-sized prawns I suppose. In fact, these prawns must not be used in making Chingrir Jhal as well! How about Bhapa Chingri Debjani?” One thing I realized Mehebub is now…
Mangshor Jhol (Bengali light Mutton curry)
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 of…

“Maa when do I need to add the patali gur while making the Dudh Puli? Also, exactly when do I need to add the Puli so that those are both soft yet well cooked?”; Debjanir Rannaghar was a complete mess when I called maa last evening! To celebrate the festival of harvesting on the day…
