I see him enter the kitchen. Beside the mud oonoon

I see him enter the kitchen.
Beside the mud oonoon (clay oven), patiently rests one of Grandma’s kansa thalas (plates), glistening in unabashed pride as it catches a streak of the afternoon sun, covered by a bowl, a pristine white enamel with a pretty blue border all round the rim.
Dada lifts the bowl in a clean snatch, picks something from the plate, I cannot figure what though, and pops it into his mouth before returning the bowl to its precise place and scurrying out of the kitchen.

I wait for a couple of minutes.
Pin-drop silence again. Punctuated by bird-song.
It’s time now for me to investigate.
Circumspect steps, uncovering the plate and I immediately know what’s been tempting Dada to visit the kitchen so often this afternoon.
It’s the chapors.
Didi must have roasted these motor dal fritters this morning and left them covered, beside the cozy warmth of the dying embers of the oonoon, in anticipation of pairing them with vegetables for dinner.

New blog is up …

Sunday is bliss. Lazy let’s-snooze-once-more mornings. Idle time-stops-still evenings. Out of turn siestas.
Teas, Coffees and Conversations. Taking in that heady smell of the pages of a new book that has just arrived by post. Unwrapping that CD thats waited long to be played. Staring at the twilight sky. Feeling the rain on the face. Going back to childhood.

Letting nostalgia reign.
And what better way to jazz up the evening with this sinful and piping hot straight-out-of-the-kadai mishtir dokaner singara and cuppas of masala chai ?
Just as Sunday teas used to be decades back in Karimganj.

Doi ilish, another ageless Bengali favorite, where the Queen of fish takes yoghurt as a companion to raise their performance to yet another exalted level.
And yes there’s just a touch of mustard, though the Queen insists firmly that this should in no way overpower the subtleties at play here.

Of course you have your own version of doi ilish and all the sweet memories, but if you do want a variation, try this one !!!

Longing for that perfect savory accompaniment to tea on a time-stops-still lazy afternoon ?
Yet bored with pakoras.
And in no mood to stir up something painstakingly elaborate ?
Heres my panacea – Thai fish cakes.
