The vacation is coming to an end and soon, we'll be back home. These two months just flew by and we enjoyed every minute of it. We ate, we shopped and we relaxed. I have a lot of stories and photos to share with you. Until then, let's see what my friend Radhika made for us. Radhika @ Food for 7 Stages of Life is one of my very close blogger friend and she lives in the Garden State of America with her loving husband. She is very passionate about cooking, writing and she shares them beautifully along with some picture perfect photographs in her blog.

Few months back, I had shared a fish recipe in Vijitha's blog and today, she is sharing a spicy fish recipe from her hometown. This clearly shows how much we both love fish :) Vijitha shares her love for Indian cooking through the stories and beautiful photos in her blog Spices And Aroma. She is one of those blogger friends whom I get to meet and chat - face to face. She not only shares recipes that will make you drool but she can also help you to stay on a diet.

After few horrible turbulences and long flight hours, I finally reached home :) The weather is neither cold nor too warm and surprisingly, I am enjoying the humidity. It's hardly been a day and I have already eaten a lot of my favorite dishes. I am sure to gain some holiday weight ;) Our first guest during the holiday season is Soma from eCurry whose recipes have always been a hit at my home. I have learnt a lot from her, like how to make the perfect Butter Chicken or how to make Naan and also my favorite - Sondesh.
My bags are packed and I am all set to board the flight! It's time to re-live some old memories and build some new ones. I am off to visit my families :) It's going to be a fun vacation and I am absolutely excited about it!
How is the festive season going for you guys? I can feel it everywhere; shopping malls are always packed, halloween costumes are getting stitched and kids are all excited about the 'treat or trick'; it's the fun time of the year :) A delicious meal doesn't call for any celebration or festival but all celebrations or festivals calls for a delicious meal. This festive month, for the first time in my life, I have been cooking non-stop and enjoying every bit it. Few days back, I tried making Stuffed naan and kind of surprised myself with how perfect they came out!
This is my favorite time of the year! By the time one festival gets over, we start prepping for the next one; it's such a joyful and happy season. Today we are celebrating Diwali - the festival of light! This festival always brings happiness, laughter, joy and lot of smiles on everyone's face. There are gifts being exchanged, families get together and there is always something special getting prepared in the kitchen.
The word chop is usually related to meat, like pork chop or lamb chop but in this recipe, it means a deep-fried or pan-fried patty. In Kolkata (situated in east of India), chop is a very common roadside snack bite. These snacks are made with vegetables, fish or egg; mixed with boiled potatoes, some spice mix or herbs and then, either pan-fried or deep-fried. It's one of those perfect, savory snacks that should be enjoyed with your loved ones over a cup of evening tea or coffee. It can also be served as a finger food in a cocktail party with some…
Pumpkins have always been my all-time favorite and no matter the different ways that Mom would cook it, it was always a delicious meal. For a kid who never enjoyed food, even something as simple as a boiled mashed pumpkin with some hot white rice would bring a smile on my face and I would finish the whole plate without any fuss!
The husband has a common complain these days.. I cook mainly for the blog! He gets to eat all the food that is prepared in my tiny kitchen and yet, the complaints :) I am sure most of you are smiling and nodding as you might be in the same situation. Honestly, I can't blame him completely for this.
Have u ever met anyone who doesn't like Tiramisu? Well, I haven't. Long back, I had shared a recipe of Strawberry Tiramisu. There was no coffee in it, just filled with lots of juicy strawberries. Along with the recipe, I also shared how and where I had my first bite of Tiramisu. Ever since the first bite, I fell in love with this dessert and till date, I can never get enough of it. It's now my favorite dessert.
This time of the year calls for family get together, it calls for shopping and it calls for lots of eating.. rich flavorful meals followed by different types of sweets. We are celebrating Navratri, Durga Puja and Diwali is just around the corner! As a kid, the preparations used to start a month in advance. Buying new clothes, new pair of shoes and of-course matching accessories to go with the dress. Growing up in a Bengali family, Durga Puja has always been The Festival we look forward to the whole year. There would be no school, no homework; those few days was only about meeting up with friends, dressing up…
