Simple everyday recipes with bits of this and that and a touch of Bengali-ness
It’s starting to rain at Bangalore these days. I love the rains. I miss the fact that it rains here usually in the afternoon. When I was growing up at Ranchi, there were no such timing. In fact there were quite a few days when it rained 5-6 days continuously. I have special memories of [...]
Ever since our low carb diet has kicked in, our egg consumption has exponentially grown. It helps that both Sumi and I love them. She surely can write 101 methods to prepare eggs. I think out of 5 working days during the week, we take eggs in lunch at work 3 days. After returning home in evening it even increases more. Eggs have very less carb content. But the cholestrol content is supposed to be very high. Especially the egg yolk. Problem is I love the yolk very much 
The best way of having them is plain boiled eggs. But I love the fried ones better. I know its not healthy but I can’t help it.
We love eggs. I guess post marriage the amount of eggs we have eaten is greater than my entire egg consumption before marriage. One of the primary reason being the simple manner in which we can cook it. Another reason being the various preparation we can have with them. Who would have thought a simple round thing can be so tasty *yum* Okay I am going way out of topic. The recipe I am sharing today is very simple and one of the most widely consumed snack in Bengal. Especially during the festive Durga Puja seasons, if you walk even 100 metres I am sure you will find at least 5-6 egg roll stalls.
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.
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.
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.
