It is a well known fact that we both are foodies. We are Bengali, so there is no escape from food and 'adda' (gossip). Every season, every puja and every occasion is incomplete without proper food to us. We love to do grocery shopping everyday in India. No guest can leave our house without atleast a sweet and a glass of water. So, I want to dedicate this post to them who really loves to eat and fi ...

That is why I am sharing this recipe with you because it is one of the t ...

Rogan josh can be prepared in two ways - one with onion and garlic, th ...

I have not grown up too much of eating 'paneer' rather I grew up eating fish, chicken, rice, dal and vegetable dishes. I ate paneer in parties and very few times in restaurants. But after coming to US I learned how to make paneer at home and trust me, those self made soft white cubes gave me immense happiness. So, after that day we both have become paneer lover and have tried several dishes. This ...

Obviously they are not our regular 'aloor chop' / aloo tikki, they are something very special, aloo tikkis are stuffed with spicy minced meat, a little different from usual, but they tastes million bucks !! We Bengalis generally eat 'aloor chop' with puffed rice or tea whereas in other parts of India 'aloo tikki' is always served with chutneys. I will recommend you the second one for these stuffed ...

Whenever I buy different types of sauces from market, can't think anything but Chinese dishes. With few ingredients you can creat such a splendid item. So, last of last weekend I went ahead and made 'chicken manchurian', the more I can say about it's delicious tangy and spicy taste the less it seems. We enjoyed it with some fried rice but you can also serve this with hakka noodles or simple rumali ...

The best and most common weeknight's meal is dal and rice. Nobody likes to eat bland dal, everybody needs some zing to their comfort food sometimes. So, 'spicy urad dal' is my new favourite dal with some kick. You can also call this lentil soup 'tarke wali dal', now everyone has their own story of 'tempering'. I have used lots of garlic, fresh curry leaves, cumin and mustard seeds. But you can add ...

If fish is the right hand of our cooking, then 'kochuri' must be the left hand. Both of them are quintessential part of Bengali cuisine. Almost every weekend our breakfast has to be 'luchi' or 'kochuri' and on special day or maybe on guests arrival 'stuffed pooris' are inevitable. In this recipe soft and flaky pooris are stuffed with spicy, crumbled fish filling. After one bite, you can't resist y ...
