What's Hot

Macher Tomato Jhol
I'm a fish lover Bengali(I don't like the word Bong, in fact there is no such word in Dictionary). Whenever I find fish in menu, I become happy. And this is so obvious, we Bengalies are true fish lovers. That's why we are called 'Mache Bhate Bangali'. In my kitchen you can find one must item that s fish. And for a true Bengali nothing can be more comforting than 'Bhat ar Pona Macher Jhol'.
Orange Chicken
I never tasted Orange Chicken in India. After marraige when we went to Dallas, USA , there one of my husband's friend reffered us Panda Express, the famous American Chinese chain restaurant of Texas. There we first tasted their famous Orange Chicken, Kung pao chicken, and many more. The combos are very pocket friendly, so we often used to visit the place mainly for dinner.
Beetroot Halwa
Beetroot halwa, after hearing the name of the dish people might be shocked, because most people don't like beetroot. I'm the one of them. I only eat beetroot in stew, may be because I don't know other beetroot recipes. As beetroot is not a very used vegetable in our family. And halwa with beetroot, not be very tasty. I was thinking the same before I've tasted it in Bluefox restaurant in Hi-tech city, Hyderabad. The item was in their dessert menu for lunch buffet.
Nolen Gurer Rosogolla
So finally winter is here. A for a bong winter means 'Nolen Gur', 'pithe puli', gurer payesh', 'Gurer sondesh/rosogolla'. But in outside of West Bengal these treats are always out fo your reach. Though you can get Bengali Sweets in other states of India, but Gur or Date palm jaggery is may be your dream. In Hyderabad, Gangura, the famous bengali sweet shop of Kolkata brings you good Winter sweets, but it's very far from our house.

Chef's Favorite

Egg Kurma
Kurma or Korma is a type of smooth silky gravy with meat/egg/vegetables/paneer. Kurma/Korma belongs to Mughlai cuisine. But the taste slightly varies from state to state. The recipe which I'm going to share today is South Indian type, which is flavoured with curry leaves and coconut. The Kurma/Korma gravy should be slightly sweet in taste and rich in flavour.
