Simple everyday recipes with bits of this and that and a touch of Bengali-ness
You know we realized that we have only one chicken recipe in our blog so far. This is surprising considering that we have chicken every other day. So I drilled down our archives and found so many delicious chicken recipe pics. But unfortunately neither Sumi nor me remember the recipes. So when Sumi cooked this [...]
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.
Well its been a long time and we have not added any recipe. One of the reason being Sumi and me being on a low-carb diet. Since its really a challenge to do it in Indian cuisine leave alone Bengali, we had to invent lots of dishes. I mean not invent but rather bend them to our tastes. One of the major problems of a low carb diet is what everyone calls a carb crash. Its just a good way of saying I cant take it anymore 
Well we had it too. And when we had it one such day we thought of having our all time favorite snack. There are various ways of making Poha. But we prefer having it with Bread, the reason being its easy to make. Oh and did I say its tasty 
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.
