Spicy Rangoli!
On October 25, 2011 by Meghalee DasFirst of all wish all of you a very happy Diwali. This is my favourite festival, not so much because of firecrackers, but because I get to decorate the house with lights of all shapes, sizes and colours and make yummy goodies. This post will not have any recipe although my Diwali menu consists of Read More
Vegetable Biryani
On October 20, 2011 by Meghalee Das“Vegetable???”, you say? I know, I know, how can it be biryani if it is veg *hides in shame*. But see, sometimes you want to eat biryani, but you don’t have chicken or mutton at home. So do you deprive yourself of eating biryani? No, you just make some adjustments until you eat the Read More
Crispy Vegetable and Egg Tacos
On October 19, 2011 by Meghalee DasThis is something I just made as an evening snack yesterday and it took only 15 minutes. Usually I like to prepare everything in my dishes from scratch, be it a pie crust or sweet cheese and so on. But I am sure there are things lying around in everyone’s kitchen that you can use Read More
Kalakand
On October 18, 2011 by Meghalee DasThe Kalakand is one of my favourite mithais and has a rich, thick, creamy taste. I always thought it was a difficult recipe, but in fact it was quite simple where the only important thing you need to do is keep stirring the milk. Even the number of ingredients required for the kalakand can only Read More
Crispy chilli fish with honey
On October 14, 2011 by Meghalee DasThis dish can be made as an appetiser or as a dry side dish to be eaten with rice or noodles prepared with Chinese spices. I used tilapia fish fillets, but you can use any other fleshy fish which doesn’t break easily when you fry them. Vegetarians can use cauliflower florets, potatoes, mushrooms, tofu or Read More
Roti Pizza
On October 13, 2011 by Meghalee DasThis is a fun and easy dish to make with left over rotis. Sometimes you just don’t feel like having rotis the usual way. You can make some changes by either turning them into rolls or also frying the rolls in a cornflour batter to make them crispy. Another option is to make a ‘pizza’ Read More
Pumpkin curry and besan pakoda curry
On October 12, 2011 by Meghalee DasYesterday was Lokkhi Pujo, so I made some simple vegeterian dishes which remind me of home. They are nothing fancy but easy to make and you can have them any time. Pumpkin or mishti kumro is one of my favourite vegetables, I like it fried, baked, in watery gravies, boiled and mashed. I usually just Read More
Eggless chocolate cup cakes
On October 7, 2011 by Meghalee DasCup cakes are really easy to make and it took me only about half an hour. So if you crave for something sweet in the middle of the night and can’t sleep coz you are too excited about something like your bday (ok, I am talking about myself), then just make happy cupcakes! I made Read More
Palak Paneer with Butter Garlic Naan
On October 6, 2011 by Meghalee DasI made this during one of the days of Pujo and although it has two recipes I will post it as one. Paneer is a type of Indian cheese; I have never had Ricotta cheese but I heard that the taste and texture of paneer is similar to that. I made the naan for the Read More
