Be it after Bijaya Dashami or any uninformed visit to her, Dida was always kind enough to cook the best Niramish Ghugni for me over the years with fried sliced Coconut. Neither dry nor runny, a bit massy and with a few peas intact, with the fainted smell of Ghee, Narkel diye Niramish Ghugni was…
Lunch meet at Cafe Swiss – Swissotel Kolkata Neotia Vista
From Chicken Parmigiana to Pan Fried Pork Schnitzel to the Tenderloin Steak to the Butter Poached Bhetki, I have given thought to each and every main course but not to the dessert. But as they say, all’s well that ends well and that is what should go perfectly with my last visit to Cafe Swiss…
Banoffee Panna Cotta with Cherry Compote
Who does not love Panna Cotta, the thick, creamy, rich Italian dessert? At least I love it and so doses my family especially my little one. I do make it quite often for the guests as well, given the process is really easy and hassle-free. Now, how about making the normal Panna Cotta a bit…
Sumo Dough, the vegetarian Italian joint
It is the non-vegetarian in me that got a bit critical whenever I visit a vegetarian joint, especially in Kolkata. However, my recent visit to Sumo Dough was no exception at all. I was not much sure initially how am I going to like a vegetarian Italian joint with a Japanese name. But as they say, looks…
Kolkata style Chicken Bharta | Down the memory lane with Chicken Bharta
My memory of Chicken Bharta always took me back to the college days or more specifically, the period when I have completed BSc and was struggling with the Master’s course. That was for the first time I left a metro city to study Rural Management and was based in a suburb of West Bengal, Kalyani. I used…
Mutton Handi Kebab, an heirloom recipe from a small-town Kebab shop in West Bengal
After a long time, I am posting a Mutton recipe, a very easy yet, tasty one, the Mutton Handi Kebab, an heirloom recipe I have adapted from a small-town Kebab shop in West Bengal. I learned the Mutton Handi Kebab from Sabina, my daughter’s ex-nanny. This is one of the simplest forms of the kebab…
Mango Salsa with a bong touch!
The Post was ready for the blog, a simple uncomplicated Mango Salsa recipe and general details but after a five minutes discussion with my mother this morning I decided to include that as part of this post! “What is that colorful thing Pasta is having Dolon?” Mom asked upon entering my apartment this morning. I…
Doodh Maach | Fish cooked with Milk
This post was not planned but indeed a special one as I was requested for the recipe of “Doodh Maach” by a reader. When the request is from somebody who took the pledge of reading my novice blog how can I ignore the request. “Doodh Maach” or Fish cooked with milk is not something I…
Tiretti by Tak Heng
The typical true blue overly nostalgic Bong was happy to sample the food at Tiretti by Tak Heng and why not especially when the old style Chinese food at Tiretta Market is now nothing but history. I will for sure share the present status of the Chinese eateries at Tiretta Market sometimes in near future but this post is…
China Wok, the Chinese Eatery
A cozy Chinese Restaurant, with simple Chinese offerings and great portion size; this is what China Wok to me. It was my first visit to the place and I was attending bloggers meet over there at China Wok. Minimally decorated, optimal use of the space and 4-5 tables; and that says all. They are having limited…
