Instagram post 2187681086381181878_3556719897 First came delectable hansher dim kosha from Rimli @rimleed and Sayantani @ahomemakersdiary . Then a stunning hansher dimer dalna from Deepa @hamareerasoi .

And I immediately knew what I had to cook next. Here’s my hansher dimer chorchori. An old recipe from my blog, the picture is new though.

Instagram post 2185456998400977056_3556719897 Bombayites do love their Irani cafes.
The hypnotic aroma of baking that lingered out from the kitchens.
Their quirky lists of dos and don'ts (enough to inspire Nissim Ezekiel to pen Irani Restaurant Instructions )
The sinful Bun Maska accompanied with the addictive Irani Chai.
The smorgasbord of biscuits, sweet and savory, stored in trademark glass jars displayed in a disciplined row on the counter, that they still love to pack for home.
And their to-die-for mawa cake.

Instagram post 2184100456619802120_3556719897 I know, I know the birds missing. 
But when your fishmonger gets you such a stunner of a chitol (and the peyajkoli season is just in) how can the piece de resistance be anything else ?

Instagram post 2181143823044109098_3556719897 No Prathamashtami passes by without me remembering Satapathi Aunty.
All those languorous summer afternoons I spent with her. Under the ancient mango tree in her backyard. Talking of Odisha. Of socialism and class divides. Of her rosy-eyed dreams of a bright future for those who did not exist for the ruling elite.
This post is for Satapathi Aunty and her Enduri Pitha!

Instagram post 2179690736999821411_3556719897 New post is up on the blog 😇
.

The laggard morning snails along.
Bapi perseveres with the crossword puzzle, conquering the white squares with great gusto, sipping his tea in between.
Grandma retires to the thakurghor to wake up her dearest Bal Gopal.
Dada attacks his luchis with voracious ferocity, pleading for one more helping and then another and then yet another, till Maa reminds him of the mutton that’s cooking for lunch.
And lunch is indeed elaborate, as is on Sundays, the rustic yet delectable Gota Moshlar Mangsho by far the piece de resistance of the meal.
Only whole spices, Maa reminds me when I call her for the recipe of Gota Moshlar Mangsho, no ground spices please.

Instagram post 2174725646382931746_3556719897 I am all of seven or eight, fast developing my likes and dislikes and find khoi (popped rice) bland. Like water. It just has no taste.
I fidget around. Scheming how not to eat the khoi.
I stick the khoi into my mouth, as many grains as I can possibly fit in, one half of each grain protruding out almost ominously (or so I think), the other half  cleverly hidden inside my mouth.
I am an ogre now. I chuckle. The fiendish kind that preys on naughty children who don't listen to their parents.
I run to Grandma's tall mirror to have a close look at my reincarnated avatar.
I am delighted at the devil I see.
No wasting food, Grandma's voice rings out. As I stand admiring my own self, busy adjusting my khoi-teeth in an attempt to look even more sinister.
