Popular among street foods are some like Bhelpuri, Chaat (can find different kinds of chats), PaniPuri/Golgappas, Pav Bhaji and so many more to name them. The list will go on and on.

Thinking of street food like Bhelpuri, a smack of the lips is first what comes at the desire and thought of it. Making this at home is easy and you find it more flavoursome and tastier with all the hygiene and the cleanliness that is there.

Vegetable Utthappam/ Desi Pancake --- Tiffin Special

2021-07-05T03:44:00.001-07:00

Tiffin and snacks are common in Indian homes. There are so many different types of tiffin, with every region, giving its different taste and flavour. Be it anywhere in India, Indians enjoy the tiffin.

Talking about pancakes, memory is still fresh in my mind, the different types of Bangali pancakes my mother used to make for us. Some were traditional and some her innovations. How simple it may be, the taste was always so good. Miss that Ma. The simple atta pancake, sweet pancakes, ahaaa!! We savoured those sweet ones, and asked for a second helping.

Let me take you through today’s vegetable utthappam. Simple, easy and tasty.

Ripe Baby Mango Chutney/Choto Paka Aamer Chatni/Pigmy Ripe Mango Chutney

2021-06-24T02:06:00.002-07:00

In this mango season markets are flooded with mangoes. Every Indian household waits for this time of the year for their favourite mangoes. Green mangoes have their own space. They are pickled in many homes to cater for the whole year. With lots of spices and lots of oil, if this pickle is preserved for a longer time it boosts the taste. This home-made pickle need not be preserved for a year only, it can stay in the bottle for many more months.

Prawn Curry – Simple to cook but very tasty to eat

2021-06-11T02:41:00.003-07:00

Prawns have a different space on the serving table. If you are a prawn eater you will know about it but if a veggie then can only say ahaa!!!

Just a passing thought, do prawns fall in the category of fish? Thoughts will come and go…some will get answers and some waiting for answers.

Better to carry on with the cooking part.

Sondesh/Sandesh – Bengali Sondesh – Easy to make, Tasty to eat

2018-05-11T02:02:00.000-07:00

How it started.

Morning. The milk, as usual, sat on the stove fire in a pan.

And lo behold.

As the boiling point comes, the milk starts curdling.

I am surprised, and pressing the palm on my fore, I start thinking what to do with this one and a half liter of curdled milk.

Idea. Rushed to the fridge, opened it and took out two fresh lime.

Simmered the flame. Cut the lime, squeezed out the juice. And then added a little water to it and poured the lime juice into the curdling milk pan.

Flame put on high.

The solid separates. Few minutes till the Chenna is ready.

Medhu Vada

2018-02-12T01:23:00.000-08:00

Today I made some Medhu Vadas for evening snacks.

Easy and simple to make and tasty to eat.

Home-made food is always in the comfort zone in the family. But people also enjoy food in restaurants or road-side food stalls. Eating home-made items gives a different pleasure and food from outside has its own pleasure to spread as they are savoured.

Anyway, after a long time today’s Medhu Vada finds a place in my blog.

I say ‘CHEERS” to me and tap my back for making a comeback after such a long span.

Aloo Paratha/Potato stuffed Indian rolled out flat bread

2016-10-03T03:22:00.000-07:00

Parathas are my favourite. Bengalis like to make their typical simple triangle shaped parathas. Then there is the square shaped paratha. The round ones are there and not much to speak about Laccha Parathas which are occasional and special.

Papdi Chaat – Easy to relate to Indian Street Food

2016-05-28T03:30:00.000-07:00

Think of Chaat, the mouth starts salivating.

The very word ‘Chaat’ brings to the mind the taste of sweet, sour, spicy, sharp, strong, crunchy, munchy, and all tastes put together to create a good tasty plateful.

An outing on a weekend evening, eyes search the streets for the ‘phuckawallah/golgappawallah or a chaatwallah’ standing with his ‘thela’ to serve tasty, tasty street food.

Sunday starts late. After all this day brings the thought…relax, enjoy your time, spend time with family and outings too come the way…that’s what Sunday brings with it.

The weekdays have their own busy schedule stamped in the daily routine and when Sunday comes there is sunshine on the faces.

A late breakfast stands and stares as we, at home, sit to gobble it up…more so as it looks great and delicious…for this is not the regular EvErYdAy (everyday) breakfast.

But who is responsible for this lovely breakfast.

2016-02-23T03:41:00.000-08:00

It is said, “Every day is not Sunday”. Who said it and why, subject does not come in for debate for there is no debate at all on this topic. To make it easier, I can only say, same food does not interest the taste and appetite every day.

Begun Poda – The Bengali Roasted Brinjal/Eggplant

2016-02-01T01:31:00.001-08:00

Begun Poda is a simple preparation and hardly takes few minutes to prepare and serve.

In winter we get lovely begun/brinjal, the purple skin shining and tempting and inviting to cook the rustic yet special home-made begun pora. This is not a typical winter dish but cooked all through the year for the lovely begun/brinjal can be found all the year round in the veggy world.

The begun poda is related to the north Indian baingan-ka-bharta. If we are to compare one to the other, the poda is simple and easy and takes less time to prepare than its close cousin the bharta.

Aloo, Begoon, Sojne Da(n)tha and Bodi Tarkari/ Potato, brinjal, drumstick curry cooked with sundried lentil dumplings

2015-12-10T02:30:00.000-08:00

Sometimes a simple and healthy curry can make a lot of difference when added to the menu chart of the day. Taste buds at times yearn for a curry that is light and goes well with rotis and parathas served hot from the hot tawa sitting on the flame and burning, to give the best from its top when its bottom is hot and burning. There is not much to talk about the tawa or the roti or paratha but more to tell about a simple dish which is a storehouse of taste.
