Enjoyable Recipes - Simple everyday cooking (Bengali style)

Fish is compulsory on the dining table of any bengali. We literally start our life with a fish preparation:) And suffice to say I love it too. This recipe is not exactly mine or Boombooms. It was made by my mother-in-law. Both my mom and mom-in-law make it a different and both taste heavenly. I wish one day I can say that for my own recipe Though whenever I tried it Boomboom told its very good. But I never believed him.

Boomboom is not well today. So I wanted to cook something light for him with very less oil. Upma is traditionally a south Indian dish but other communities also have their own versions of the dish. The style that I will talk about today is the Bengali version. Boomboom surely liked it Hope you all enjoy it too.

Usually when we sit idle working on our site or simply harvesting at Facebook or murdering the Mafia we really feel lazy and not have anything for dinner. But what can you do when your plans go awry? Actually in our case we felt hungry :-p So Sumi ran and looked into the fridge and there we had Paneer (Cottage Cheese). Our quickest option in such cases is Grilled Paneer. But guess what Sumi decided to go for something rich in masala and oil typical Indian style. Presenting Paneer Vegetable Delight……

Bhindi is one of the most lovable vegetables in India. I dont know why because its not exactly my favourite but I dont hate it too. There is a saying that people who love Bhindi are very intelligent. I figure thats why I was never the top student of my class. It was really a hot day and Sumi was in her bad mood hehehehe. So we went vegetable shopping and there was this set of Okra almost smiling at her (I think so) and Sumi got impressed by their smile (I think this too) because that instant she bought full 500 grams of it. Yes my bad luck. This would be tonight’s dinner But to Sumi’s credit it actually ended up quite tasty Hope you enjoy it too.

Friday nights are usually a fast dinner nights. We usually are tired by the time Friday evening comes and look forward to the weekend. Hence we always try to whip up something quick. And if a nice movie comes on television (nice as in Sumi’s dictionary), the task usually falls on me. So Sumi decided and I made and Chicken in Tangy Sauce was ready This is the first time we cooked something like this but were glad with the outcome.

Sumi is crazy about potatoes. She says thats why she looks like a potato I respectfully disagree. Because I feel I am more inclined to look like one Coming back to potatoes and Sumi, she is so crazy about it that no matter what she cooks she will “sprinkle” potatoes on them ROFL. Why am I discussing this when the recipe we will present today shouldnt even have potatoes? Well thats precisely the reason why I am mentioning it hehehehe. Hope you like this quick super fast dish.

An all-time favorite with almost all North-Indian households is Aloo Gobi which simply means a Potato Cauliflower preparation There are various methods of preparation for this and the below is a sample. Sumi always tries so many varieties for this. We felt this was tasty enough to be a starter recipe for our site LOL.
