Guest Post – Prawns with Mustard and Coconut Paste

I hope you all had a wonderful Rakhi this year. As usual I tied the rakhi to my sister (thats what happens when there are only two daughters in the house). It was fun though, and for a change my father was at home and so didn’t spare him also :) .
After the wonderful guest post by Arundhuti, here’s another from a very loving person, Pamela. Pamela was kind enough to share her wonderful recipe of chingri maach diye shorshe naarkel bata (prawns in mustard and coconut paste). I hope you like it.

Dimer Malpua

For the ones who wake up late or for those who compulsorily have to visit the kitchen every morning this quick and easy egg recipe is a must prepare. The preparation takes less than 10 mins to prepare and we’ll love its taste.

And when it comes to egg at breakfast this quote by Claudette Colbert is definitely very true, “I bet you think an egg is something you casually order for breakfast when you can’t think of anything else.”

Cholar Dal

Though Bangals blame Ghotis for their unending love for the sweet taste in all kinds of recipes, Cholar dal is one such Bengali recipe where both Bangals and Ghotis nod to put a spoonful of sugar. For those who has no clue what I’m talking about, Ghotis are the actual inhabitants of what is now India, whereas the Bangals came from Bangladesh, erstwhile East Pakistan during the partition in 1947.

Cholar dal or the famous Bengal gram is one of the most loved Sunday breakfast rather brunch option with luchi or roti.

Bengali Style Matar Paneer

“…..I think for two people to really love each other to really commit to each other it has to be an act of will.
Or a decision. And I think two people have to live that decision every day. Even when things are hard and you feel like giving up you have to hang on to that decision, that choice to love each other. Even if it’s only by a thread. I let that thread break once. This time, it won’t. Will you marry me?” – Luke Harrison from Stepmom movie.

I couldn’t resist but quote these words on this very special day. Click to know more and to get a lovely recipe to share with your special one.
