The choice of potato and spinach has always been a success! The recipe is thorough and the suggestion that it be refrigerated before shallow frying is an excellent one. It helps remove the moisture thus reducing the oil consumption. Good going! Awaiting more of these recipes.prityawww.pritya.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-58465925170123629282007-05-03T11:30:30.141-04:002007-05-03T11:30:30.141-04:00Bee...in a traditional Bengali cuisine a truly niramish ranna(as we say in Bong) or vegetarian cooking does NOT have onion or garlic. I think because onions, garlic have the Tamasik Guna while vegetarian food is supposed to Be Satwik<BR/><BR/>Santanu...Kebabs are supposed to be grilled or broiled. But Bangali Chops are deep fried, even if they are baked I am not sure they can be in the kebab category. BTW your kebab pic were drool worthySandeepahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15407918137263251235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-27831913870664607362007-05-03T10:47:55.319-04:002007-05-03T10:47:55.319-04:00Hi Sandeepa! I recently wrote a post on Kababs. While doing that, I was wondering if there is anything in Bong cooking that would qualify as one, but I couldn't think of anything (unless fried fish qualified!). But the Chop would be a type of 'kabab', wouldn't it?Shantanuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10775725512802702601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-16762330319895117712007-05-03T00:14:49.490-04:002007-05-03T00:14:49.490-04:00The chops look good.

You will make a wonderful nana, never fear. We can't imagine it will be so when we are in the midst of our own kids and long for a rest some days... but when the time comes, you will be the dearest Didun (and I hope I got that right) :)Lindahttp://outofthegarden.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-48005313223914887122007-05-01T18:11:11.752-04:002007-05-01T18:11:11.752-04:00What a sweet post!
