The sight of so many vegetables and beautifuly stacked fruits of all sizes and shapes and colors and of course the vegetables are much more tastier( maybe its due to the soil) and the chandramukhi aloos...oh my simply irresistable. I have done a fair share of vegetable picking at the bazaars in kolkata and these pictures come back to me with a lot of nostalgia. Watermelons at 5rs/kg and aloo at 2rs./kg..scrumptious meals made so simply and so tasty and healthy.

Being half a Bong (and a mom) and a big foodie (comes with the territory!) your recipes have awoken the sleeping Bong cook in me :)) Seriously, i am a great fan of Bong food but was too nervous to cook it ...was just not able to get the flavors right. But your blog changed all that! I have been trying out your recipes for a couple of weeks now and man, they are GOOD (my hubby too has simply loved the dishes that I've tried so far) So, thank you for the inspiration, a great gastronomical journey and some wonderful memories (of vacations in Calcutta, and my thakuma's ranna)!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-85970606849343219482012-09-04T06:51:12.585-04:002012-09-04T06:51:12.585-04:00Clinnovo is offering internships,Online courses,Po...Clinnovo is offering internships,Online courses,Post graduate diploma courses in Clinical Research,Clinical Data Management,<b><a href="http://www.clinnovo.com/" rel="nofollow">sas course</a></b>Imaging analysis.<br /><br />Ph: 9912868928 04064635501 contact@clinnovo.com www.clinnovo.comclinnovohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14456009317180937828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-42423414436313986542012-08-23T09:01:04.244-04:002012-08-23T09:01:04.244-04:00jayanta, tumi potol er skin charbae na khabe seta ...jayanta, tumi potol er skin charbae na khabe seta puro tomar personal choice.

The latest gyan (latest in my life) also advises against curds, garlic, mustard and a whole lot of other spices and vegetables I'm fond of. I too visit several stores to buy healthy stuff - loved your para about how you then resort to junk food after shopping at all those various stores, made me giggle as usual.srahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03243944393796831559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-80015429895064957872012-08-14T08:48:44.903-04:002012-08-14T08:48:44.903-04:00Thanks Rupa.

Wait for say 30 secs again and put it back at low heat 5. At the lowest heat cook the curd and masalas for a minute. 6. Once you add water rasie the heat and continue<br /><br />The second way which some people use is to add a tsp of Maida to the curd and beat well before adding. I still go by the remove from heat methodBong Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15407918137263251235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-89994542064753675292012-08-14T07:51:35.540-04:002012-08-14T07:51:35.540-04:00Hi Sandeepa, you've nailed it.
