. . . . Master the Art of Bengali Cuisine
This is for intermediate skilled cooks, or mere amateurs who want to prove that given adequate instructions, they can cook (I fall in this category). You can have Dimer Devil for an exotic evening snack. I had this at lunch with steamed rice, musuri daal and ketchup.
In short: the eggs are boiled and the yolks are removed, and re-stuffed with a mixture prepared from the yolk, boiled potato and some vegetables. The re-stuffed egg is then dipped in besan, then in bread crumbs and fried in oil.

Remember the jars of pickles lined up on the roof, a little hands approaching to steal a handful? And there came the bigger hand in between the little hand and the jar of tangy pickle. The fear coated adventure of stealing pickle in the summer afternoon is one of the best memories I have of my childhood. Mom never allowed to have pickles and so stealing and having pickles had an extra feeling of happiness, if not I got caught.
The cauliflower pickle was given to me by my neighbor this morning and it happened to be one of the best pickles I tasted so far. So couldn’t resist but share the recipe with you all.
Prepare it and enjoy the tart taste of this good looking pickle.
There are many a things that we don’t want to do, but have to do it because of some reason or the other.

Its the easiest way to prepare a great looking and awesome tasting recipe in a matter of minutes. Cook it and enjoy it.

9 new posts for this month including the January Round-up. Starting from Bengali’s favorite sandesh to the cake in microwave. The Valentine’s week had a new recipe each day of the week.
We also published our first product review, the Gits Karaisutir Kachuri mix. Though it was a free review, we got the products from the company.
The festival of colors knocked at the end of the month and it was a pleasure to play with the colors after 3 long years.
The festival of colors. Though almost the entire North Indian will be celebrating Holi on Monday, we here in the Eastern part of the country celebrated it this morning.
This festival of colors considered as the National Festival of the country is the largest festival in the sub-continent. The colors, the customs, the rituals is the essence of this spring festival.
We at Cook Like a Bong wish you all a very Happy Holi.
This post reviews Gits Karaisutir Kachori mix. If you cook regularly, I’m sure you may want to take a break sometime and enjoy this ready to cook snack.
In case you cook only occasionally, all the more reason to try it out. I mean, why spend half a day in kitchen preparing kachori when you can do the same using Gits Karaisutir Kachuri Mix in 20 minutes.
Wishing you all a very Happy Promise Day. Four days into the Valentine’s Week Special, here I am with a new recipe. This time though a little different. This bread chopsuey is more to please your little one.
The simple and easy to prepare recipe is sure to steal the heart of your kid with its color and taste. Prepare it, and I bet your little one can’t just ignore this tempting breakfast.
Bon Apetite!
When you think about Teddy, what comes to mind? Cute, sweet, soft, friendly, crying shoulder. Think of any good adjective and that becomes descriptive of a Teddy. Usually, guys hate teddies (of course there’re exceptions). I am still to find out why. Any ideas?
Enjoy Paneer Pulao in Rice Cooker on Teddy Day today (don’t ask the relation). On first two days of Valentine’s week, we’ve talked about Matar Paneer Bengali ishtyle and Chocolate Cake.
Enjoy the simplicity.
