Fish curry
Restaurant style Dry Chili Chicken
Kolkata Style Fish fry
What is Kolkata style fish fry? For those of you who are not from Kolkata, fish fry is not the typical Bengali maach bhaja (fried fish steak) that has become a marker of authentic Bengali cuisine. This is rather the anglicized version of maach bhaja— thick fillets of fish marinated with flavorful herbs, breaded with bread crumbs…
Dalgona coffee
Green egg curry
I get so many emails/messages from readers asking about easy and inexpensive entertaining and dinner party recipes. Now if you are swimming in buckets of cash there is no need to think about ‘inexpensive’, of course, but if you are a struggling grad student, or entertain (willingly or unwillingly) too often then it may be important…

Chicken Tandoori
Chicken Tandoori is undoubtedly the most popular Indian delicacy across the world. Yet, the history of Chicken Tandoori recipe dates back only to 1920. It is first known to have been prepared in a Peshwari restaurant named Moti Mahal (now in Pakistan) by an experimental chef Mr. Gurjal. The popularity of chicken tandoori is largely…

Chicken curry Recipe
What is chicken curry? A polite reminder that Chicken curry is nothing but chicken in a simple tomato and onion based gravy. The word ‘curry’ by no means is a singular representation of Indian cuisine. Every Indian recipe is NOT a curry. Even this chicken curry recipe is not universal. Everyone has a different version…
Coconut chutney
Nolen Gurer Ice Cream with Coconut Milk
Update: I recently tried making Nolen gurer ice cream again, but with sweetened condensed milk and grated coconut this time, as I was out of condensed coconut milk. I have to say that I like it even better this way. The grated coconut adds a nice bite while maintaining a creamy texture. I am going…

Koraishutir Kochuri
This may not be the most popular thing to say, but, I think, of all the Bengali culinary inventions, Koraishutir Kochuri is the most special. I mean, sure, rosogolla and macher jhal are great because what is a Bengali without mach & misti? BUT whoever had the idea of encapsulating the subtle flavors of fresh green peas…
Peanut butter and Nutella hot chocolate with roasted marshmallows
I don’t drink hot chocolate very much, because as a food blogger I have enough calories flowing around in my kitchen to add hot chocolate to the already long list. But winter is coming, the sun is lazy, the air is crisp, my bedroom smells musty from my wintertime quilt, and Starbucks cups are coming…
Oatmeal with mango coconut and raspberries
People ask me to post healthy and easy breakfast recipes all the time, especially tasty oatmeal recipes. Now, I love oatmeal. I can eat oatmeal with just a little water and some nuts and raisins thrown in. My husband, however, hates oatmeal with a passion. So, sometimes I try new ways to make disguised oatmeal…

Grown-up Brazilian Lemonade
A few days ago I stumbled upon a recipe of “Brazilian lemonade”. Two things about the recipe made me very happy. First, “Brazilian”; second, “lemonade”. Two things about the recipe also made me very curious. The list of ingredients included whole limes (rind and everything included!), sugar, water, and condensed milk! First, all recipes that use lime…
Turkish Coffee
Reading the Future in Coffee Grounds Written by Eralda Lameborshi–best friend and colleague My infatuation with coffee started as a very young child in a small town at the foot of Tomorr mountain in Albania. Poliçan was a very small town, bitterly cold in winters, cool and bright in summers, with people from different areas…
