    WELCOME TO PLAYFUL COOKING

    Hello and welcome to my culinary space. You will find a mix of Indian dishes and recipes from across the globe. A separate section dedicated to Bengali Cuisine, dishes I grew up eating, both modern and traditional. Easy effortless meals, one bowl bake, easy to follow recipes which are mostly nutritional with a little bit of indulgence here and there.
