And lunch is murgir jhol and rice. As has been for all the growing up years.
This is my mother’s recipe for the Sunday murgir jhol.
Earthy. Yet finger-licking delicious.
Packed with loads of flavor.
And of course, a mother’s love.

My no-fuss chocolate cake. The bliss of dark chocolate. That delicate balance of sugar and bitter. A generous slather of ganache.
Classics never disappoint, do they ?

An ancient hnaari filled to the brim with water si

An ancient hnaari filled to the brim with water sits snugly on the oonoon. Thakur adds a liberal pinch of salt. And a generous glug of mustard oil. Small mounds of vegetables rest patiently to be added to the boiling broth. First to be added are the baby potatoes and sweet potatoes. Do take note that the vegetables are whole, not even a single knife incision, S explains, hence the gota (or whole) in gota sheddho.
Next to go in shall be the baby eggplant, their stalks intact, the sheem and the peas in their shells. And finally if memory serves me right, S rattles ahead, the shish palong.
S looks at Thakur for his confirmation.
He smiles. The trick is slow cooking, he elaborates, at least a couple of hours before the vegetables are tender.

I have been yearning to make this dessert for a while now. And what could be better timing than when love is in the air ?
So here it is, my Textures of Strawberry and Rose.
And thanks to Hamiltonbeach JMG that made it so simple, despite the many elements involved.
.

No-Bake Rose cheesecake

Using your Hamiltonbeach JMG, grind the biscuits to a coarse powder. Add the melted butter. Transfer to a mini springform tin, press uniformly to the bottom. Refrigerate, 1 hour or so.
For the rose cheesecake
Beat the cream cheese and a little sugar till creamy using the wet soft blending option of your Hamiltonbeach JMG. Add the heavy cream and gulkand / rose jam. Mix till smooth .
Spread this cream cheese layer uniformly over the biscuit crust. Refrigerate overnight.

Strawberry Compote with a hint of Citrus
Blend the fresh strawberries with a splash of water to a smooth purée using the wet soft blending option of your Hamiltonbeach JMG.
Cook the strawberry purée with sugar and squeeze of gondhoraj lebu over a gentle flame till you have a pouring consistency.

Strawberry Ginger Jelly
Blend the fresh strawberries with a splash of water to a smooth purée using the wet soft blending option of your Hamiltonbeach JMG.
Strain the purée through a fine sieve, add sugar and cook with green cardamom, ginger juliennes over a gentle flame. Strain again through a fine sieve, add agar agar and continue to cook till the strawberry syrup starts to thicken. Set in small half spherical moulds.

Lamb massaman curry! Luscious lamb. Baby potatoes

Lamb massaman curry!
Luscious lamb. Baby potatoes for company. The intoxicating perfume of that lemongrass - kafir lime leaves -galangal steeped curry paste. The numbing fire of chillies. The earthy sweetness of coconut cream. Stewed languorously over a mellow flame. This is food at its decadent best. Enjoy !!!.

New blog post is up I remember the evening as if

New blog post is up

I remember the evening as if it were yesterday.
The next day, Grandma had proceeded to hang the curd, wrapped in muslin, on the ancient rust-brown hook on the soot-black wall of her kitchen till all the water had drained out and then mix the curd with the patiently reduced milk from the evening before, before packing the curd – reduced milk mix in a battered tiffin-box and immersing the same in a pot of boiling water.
What are you making Grandma ? A curious me had enquired.
Bhapa Doi, she had answered.

Dal Pitha.
All the way from earthy Bihar.
Fragrant rice dumplings. Just a subltety of salt, maybe a sprinkle of cracked black pepper. With a delicious chana dal stuffing. Spiked with ginger and some wicked chillies. Perfumed with roasted cumin and an overload of fresh coriander.
