Shorshe Bata Maach – Mustard Salmon In This Case | A Detour From Thailand To Wish Shubho Noboborsho!
This post probably should have happened a long time ago. The Shorshe Bata Maach or the Bengali Mustard Fish is the most sought after dish in a Bengali’s life (not necessarily, but to belong to the Bong brigade you have to play along with this tag). It has also been the most searched after term […]
Luchi Featured In Ahlan! Gourmet | My Ode To Phulko Luchi!
February 18, 2013
‘If Bruschetta remains Bruschetta and Crostata remains Crostata, then Phulko Luchi should be nothing else but be called Phulko Luchi!’ Luchi got featured in the February issue of Ahlan! Gourmet (above), along with Kosha Mangsho and Polao. Naturally, my Bengali foodie soul is very satisfied. When Olivia Spadavecchia, the Editor of Ahlan! Gourmet contacted me, […]
UAE National Day… Making Aam Pana/ Green Mango Drink | My Dubai My City
December 2, 2012
Today is the 41st UAE National Day or Al-Eid Al Watani as it is called in Arabic. The above picture is a personal favourite of mine. It might look like a canvas but is actually a special drink that I’ve created as a tribute to the UAE National Day. The lovely Jihad and Sajith from […]
Frozen Aam Pana/Green Mango Pulp | The Change Initiative!
November 12, 2012
Aam Pana or Green Mango Drink (above) is one of the most famous coolants for Indian Summer. The mango concentrate can be very easily made at home and stored for much longer than the summer months themselves. So, adapting the drink to combat Dubai summers perhaps seemed the most obvious thing to do. Taking cue […]
Locavorism, Friday Market | Tok Palong/Sour Spinach Chutney
November 6, 2012
Tok Palong/Sour Spinach (above) is a variant of the leafy green Spinach that we are so familiar with. Resembling more like Baby Spinach, these leaves are sour even when they are uncooked. Absolutely new to me, my taste-buds are totally thrilled with this new discovery. And no, I haven’t seen these Spinach variant in any […]
Rasgulla Macapuno On TV & Shubho Bijoya to all!
October 24, 2012
Shubho Bijoya to all of you! A few months ago my Rasgullas or Roshogollas was aired on Noor Dubai TV and Dubai One during Ramadan (above video). And I got the video in hand today just as I had sat down to write a festive post wishing all of you a Shubho Bijoya! And whoosh […]
Khichuri As Harbinger of Hope & Kolkata Soaked In Rains
August 16, 2012
Khichuri or Khichdi (a dish made up of rice and lentils) as it’s known in many parts of India can be conjured up as a delicacy unlike in many parts of India where it is a basic meal served during ailment and sickness. For Bengalis, Khichuri is synonymous to writing love letters – it requires […]
A Tale of 2 Cities & Naru/Coconut Jaggery Truffles | A Dubai Expat’s Summer Story!
July 11, 2012
At any point of time the story of my life revolves around 2 cities – the city that we are living in at that point in time and which we refer to as our home and Kolkata – the city which has shaped my life and which has brought me up. Again which I also […]
Traditional Bengali Cuisine | All The ‘Slight’ Details
June 30, 2012
Note: This post was originally written on 15 October, 2012 during the Durga Puja. I’ve changed the date of publish in order that it stands as the 3rd post as I can pin it on my homepage. An etymological explanation of our extreme Food-Fetish. Or should I simply say ‘Blame it on our genes’? This […]
Featured in Foodie BlogRoll & Green Mango Chutney!
June 25, 2012
I feel like a Chutney at this moment and hence this special post on a traditional Bengali Green Mango Chutney or Kaancha Aamer Chutney! Why Chutney? Well, to be honest Chutney is the only thing that can describe how I feel at this moment. My blog is being featured in this week’s FoodieBlogroll’s Featured Blogs! […]
Notun Gurer Payesh/Traditional Bengali Rice Pudding | Remembering My Dida
May 30, 2012
Today’s dish is special and very primitive. The only other way to explain the importance of a traditional Payesh/Rice Pudding is to compare it with Champagne. If you can understand the importance of Champagne to bring in a family celebration then you can probably understand the importance of Payesh. Or say, cutting a cake on […]
Mango Lentil Soup/Aam Dal – The Summer Combat
April 29, 2012
Summer is slowly waltzing into Dubai. A few more days and suddenly the Celsius scale would be touching the 40s on a regular basis. I have spent so many summers in Dubai, yet the temperature in any random summer day still shocks me every time I know the exact magnitude of it. Conversations with other […]
Bengali Sweets That Came By Parcel!
April 18, 2012
I have just explored my photographic and nostalgic journey into the world of Rôshogolla or Rasgulla – probably the most famous Bengali Sweet in my previous article. Never in my wildest imagination did I expect another volatile mission so soon with my camera and my blogging – on one of my favourite topics – Bengali […]
Rôshogolla or Rasgulla – Bengali’s Own Sweet
April 16, 2012
We are just 2 days into the Bengali New Year and what better excuse can there be than this to share a bit of Bangaliana (everything Bengali) with everyone – the ones who are already familiar with Bengali culture and tradition and also those who are absolutely uninitiated to it. But where to start and […]
