The Queen of Fish … Hilsa or Ilish Maach as we call it … my favourite way to eat it is Bhaja or fried with hot steamed rice topped with a bit of the mustard oil it’s fried in…
Are you an Ilish lover like me ? How do you like to eat your Ilish ?
But remember to be responsible and only buy the larger fish that weigh a minimum of 1.2 kgs because these beautiful fish are under threat of extinction. #theculinarycommentator #hilsa #ilish #kolkatafoodie #kolkatadiaries #foodbloggers #foodiesofinstagram #foodpics #foodlover #bengalifood #sundaylunch #kolkata

The last 1.5 years has been a human changing time for all of us. Absolutely normal things became a dream, an impossible task- work, friends, travel, healthcare, food and it’s availability, shopping- and it led us all to adapt and adopt; find new things as well as discover new beginnings. For me learning about indian food became an obsession and gave me solace. Through @historywali & her History on a Plate, through @thirdculturecooks and her sessions on food and partition, and through the master ‘guruji’ @kurushdalal @euphorhea with their Studying Food Workshop . But it just wasn’t the knowledge, it was the community and the friendship, support on the darkest day, advice on the toughest moments that this extended gang of food lovers gave me- and all virtually. People I had not met for more than a year but who became a part of my daily conversation, my healthline! I finally met a bunch of these amazing virtual friends in flesh. And thanked every minute of tte evening. So much love and happiness ❤️ gratitude for this universe we created for each other. @thatpunnyboy @just.a.pinchofsalt @delectable_reveries @khaobowmeow @shibaniek @riotofflavours @ajeetkalbag @sorab.jassawalla @menaceinthekitchen_ and all those who weren’t here but were constantly missed To better times 🥂

Back to the kitchen after a loong long time. These fresh prawns were the inspiration really and yes what a meal. @euphorhea had sent me this beautiful, farn fresh raw papaya which went into a salad with nashpati, wasabi arugula and walnuts in a dressing made out of leftover pickle brine, aioli and fragrant chilly oil from @ajeetkalbag
Best Saturday ❤️

I love patla murgir jhol. The Aloo is must.(thin chicken curry with big chunks of potato). The meat has to be tender and potato boiled to perfection.

Mutton Polov

Pronounced as “Po-low”, the mutton polov is not only a dish made to celebrate love but I dish, I believe, is also made WITH love.

From the gathering of fresh ingredients from the meat to the whole spices to creating the “Korop” - the traditional method of sun drying the whole spices and coconut, now dry roasted on a frying pan in present day. This traditional Mangalorean dish is served for lunch/dinner at a Roce or during the days leading upto a wedding.

This dish was served at our engagement lunch. A day where our family and close friends came together to watch us awkwardly proclaim our union to be wed. A day where my father picked people from the gathering to randomly give toasts and thus putting everyone in an awkward position. Together with us, with love.

Mutton isn’t commonly available in supermarkets here. But Lamb is. Mangalore pumpkin is certainly not available in supermarkets here. But bottle gourd is.

And so we make due. To make this loving dish, with love. On the day we got formally engaged ❤️

2013 to 2021.
Our (definitely mine) defining work in three notebooks. While Chakh Le India changed my life, Lost Recipes has shaped it, and defined it.

The second clip is 💯 nostalgia, if you follow the series you’ll see recipes from our Udvada (Tagging @kurushdalal & @euphorhea who I met thanks to this episode! And @urvakshhoyvoy of @parsidadhaba too!), Mumbai, and Pondicherry Episodes, scribbled notes from Lucknow and other such. So special. Just like the many friendships that have been forged over this show.

Tomorrow on, notebook 3 will begin to be filled. I had other plans for Season 3 but each show, each season, each episode crafts its own path, you only follow.
For example, I had grand plans of shooting outdoors tomorrow - with a carpet of fields in the b/g, but the relentless rain has shushed me into obeying its ‘you better be shooting in an indoor kitchen tomorrow’ warning. I have no choice. But I do love the western ghats when they’re soaking in the rains, my favourite time of the year here - perhaps it’s time to put this love on screen with a rain-soaked episode, mellow, romantic, mystical, magical.
I’m all goose-bumpy. 🥰

And as always, the night before I shoot the first episode of a new show / season, sleep will be hard to come by, cos omg so excited.

A hattrick of perfect fried eggs for the girls and me this morning.
Practised while making my breakfast with Baby Loaf and Nimki supervising. Nimki was multitasking as he was supervising the building repair work which will hopefully address our leaking kitchen ceiling issue. Baby Loaf suggested my putting the Parsi prawn pickle Rhea Mitra Dalal had made and given us. It was neither too sharp, nor too sweep, and was perfect. She learnt how to make it from her mom in law and Kurush Dalal’s mum, the late Katy Dalal.
I made a fried egg with salt and pepper for K when she woke up to have her meds with. And then with chaat masala and chilli flakes for Gia to have as a sandwich with the lovely cheddar and jalapeño sourdough from MagStreet Bakery Gauri Devidayal had sent us and which we all had. I toasted the bread in the oven and in Gia’s one added butter, as Gauri said I must.

Sunday and siesta have a deep connection, and one of the major facilitators for people from the East has been the use of poppy seeds in their food.
The British Raj had a huge contribution to Bengal adopting poppy seeds with such enthusiasm. Soon after the East India Company won the Battle of Plassey, they stumbled on China’s massive illegal opium market in the East. In no time, the British turned over all agricultural land in Bengal to poppy for opium production, which led to a dearth of other vegetables. Running out of edible produce, maybe a farmer’s wife experimented with dry, leftover poppy seeds by blending poppy seeds with ridge gourd (Jhinge Posto), pointed gourd and all sorts of vegetables. From there, it spread to every household in Bengal.

Today made a simple lunch of Jhinge Aloo Posto (Ridge Gourd with Poppy seeds paste & Potatoes) and served with some fries and steamed rice.

There's more posts coming up, it's not the end of the month yet. But I couldn't help posting this either.

At the beginning of the month, @unrudh suggested doing pictures for what-we-actually-cooked vs how-they-look-in-the-book. And the book has been a mad hit among us all. So then, I spent some time and made this.

Regardless of how good or bad the pictures are, I think everyone who cooked from the book will agree that most recipes were just soooo easy and pretty effin' yum!

Pictured here are:
• pork dumplings and prawn fritters
• sticky chicken and more prawn fritters
• lamb curry and rice stew
• lamb patties and more rice stew
• bread rolls and aubergine curry
• okra salad and prawn curry
• upside-down rice and dhal fritters
• bread pudding and more lamb patties
• coconut chicken and turmeric fish
• even more rice stew and even more prawn fritters
