There is this strange blog follower of mine. Lets call her Mrs.Question! Who shoots questions at me every single day. All her emails are written with more question marks than the actual letters, I mean. I am well-prepared for it now a days. So, am not surprised when I see questions, questions and more questions. […]

I have lots of commitments these days. So there isn’t much of cooking these days!! Pardon me folks. This is the most recent cooking (though this isn’t exactly a meal) I have experimented in my kitchen. Growing up, I have had my share of several divine dishes!

Another snowy day sets in and the ice-age has began! Given the cold and icy weather…a warm breakfast seemed in order this morning. I browsed the pantry for a while and decided on ‘Paal Paniyaram’. Its technically a dessert, and calls for too much of sugar than I would normally use, but the day needed […]

The historic winter snow-storm is over…but we are stuck with ice. This pretty little town, looks so abandoned and filled with ice, ice and more ice…until my eyes could reach (yes, just like the way Wordsworth described those daffodils). Hmmm…I have been hibernating for the past whole week, due to this bad weather! I can […]

Because it is Valentine’s day…I wanted to get dressed, have a peaceful cup of coffee and play in the snow! Alright, not likely…the breakfast or some “quality” time! But, at least I tried. I run errands in my pajamas; shovel the snow, wearing a slip-on; finish up my work, exactly an hour before the deadline; […]

Two kinds of food exists in my household. Number one is something, that is well known to everyone…the authentic kind. For which, I ruminate n ferment the idea for a prolonged period of time! And, process it slowly…by procuring the ingredients, crockery or whatever! And, finally…(on some auspicious moment)…pull myself together to fix it!! Since, […]

Time is working against me. I wish, there is 27 hours a day! Or, it would be very nice…if someone could generously lend me, couple of hours from their free time. Well…this is one of the several times…I am trying to update this lil space! Apparently nothing from my end goes as per plan. As […]

Thaligai – meaning ‘cooking’ and during festival times…a special care is given to prepare a ritual meal (I will go into those details, in yet another post). And, coming to this particular dish…it doesn’t call for a recipe of its own! We just toss the most favorite items from the festival spread into one large […]

Milk and milk based desserts were part of my childhood routines. I have always had special likings for those Bengali sweets (which deserves an entire new post)! Apart from that, my sweet memories of ‘Milk Kowa’ is like this: pearly white, grainy and melt in mouth kind. Whenever the cravings kicks in, its kind of […]

The creamy rich Rogan Josh is an ultimate comfort food. I love curling up on the couch with a hot bowl of dinner. And, the leftovers are great for the next day’s lunch. Slow cooking the meat until tender is one of my favorite method of preparing them. If you are in a hurry, you […]
