Fish Moilee

A dish from Kerela that I fell in love with and had’t made in a long while…. A friend recently reminded me of this delicate yet flavorful dish and I think it came out quite good. The fresh catfish fillet really made a big difference as it just melts in your mouth! Ingredients for the

Bengali Malai Curry

This is my mother’s signature dish. The one I ask her to make every-time I visit home and she obliges me…first by scouring the fish markets for the largest and freshest of prawns and then whipping up the dish in the kitchen in 30 minutes. The thing I always complained about was not having enough

Dum Biryani

As an Indian, and a lover of meat, the first savory dish that comes to mind is Biryani. It is a meal in itself. Long grains of perfectly cooked rice with a warm aroma and fall off the bone juicy flavorful meat. When made well, it needs nothing at all to accompany it, as everything
