🌻There's a reason why simple and minimalism attracts us. They touches our soul right away.
Like this - simple homecooked meal that I had prepared today.
........................ .,..........................
During the lockdown period when resources were minimal and we had no idea from where our next meal would come from, I had this 100 year old recipe book written by Pragnya Devi Sundari by my side, as my guide and vision. The book has numerous recipes on how to dish out delectables from vegetable peelings, seeds, leaves, flowers and so on.
🌻Simple flavours that speaks about the truest essence of then Bengali cuisine. Pure and uncorrupt. Food was enjoyed in those days the way it was always meant to be. Simple and clean.
Eating local and seasonally was the mantra. They never pined for what grows beyond Himalayas.
.....................................................
During this lockdown I got the opportunity to read more, to unlearn and learn new things and I think that's sailed through this difficult time.
👉In Frame :
🌻Dal chokha / mashed musoor dal and seasoned well with chopped onions, green chillies, and raw mustard oil.
🌻Pyanj Posto Chorchori - with scrapes of potato and it's peels , fried together with poppy seeds paste / Posto bata and onions. One can also add peels of parwal, Lauki and turai.
🌻Narkel Kumri - this is the most unique dish I had learned. Grated pumpkin with coconut paste. Flavour combos were too unique.
🌻Chanar Kalia / not chanar dalna. #bongfood

When in doubt make this - Mumbai Tawa Pulao. And you will feel accomplished 😊. Goodness of homecooked meals with flavours of street food all rolled into one, that can be put together under 30 min.
Our very own stir fried rice with leftover Pav bhaji masala. Spicy, chatpata and so yumm. Pair it with boiled or fried eggs and you are good to go.
........................................................
On another note, I have decluttered my followers list today. You always feel happy when you clean the clutter. Hope Insta will take note of this. 🙂

This was our Sunday meal. With so much work piled up for the weekends, not in a mood to cook elaborate lunch.
In Frame - 👉Brown rice pulao with veggies. I make it slightly glutinous because of my kid. 👉 ⭐is Rawa fried Tilapia fillets in lemon butter sauce. This is actually beurret noisette or brown butter sauce and this is pure gold. If you have not tried it yet, do give this a try. ⭐
📜Scroll down my feed to check brown butter chicken I had made sometimes back. 👉Rawa crumbed fish was served with potato mash and buttery green peas.
We Bongs do make a lipsmacking potato mash with different kind of flavourings but this one is absolutely "Paris" . It is rich laden up with cold butter and milk. Creamiest potato mash you will ever make.
👉With side of carrots, beet, cabbage slaw .
Then 👩‍💻 watched a movie on Netflix - "Falling Inn love ". No not a bestsellers or hot anywhere just my pick. If you have ever wanted to own a Inn of your own that too a heritage one and in faraway places like Newzealand then you will like it. Always ❤️RomComs
Hope your weekend were lovely and fruitful.
