We got these boris from Delhi's Bengali hub CR Park. On one occasion we managed to lay our hands on boris at an exhibition of ethnic products.Usually you have to hope someone is kind enough to get it for you from Calcutta.<br />Lentil deep fried cubes? I think you mean dhokar dalna, just hold on I plan to make it for the camera. You see now I am totally focused on You Tube. So please wait. How long?

I remember, once, my sister and he were planning a trip to Darjeeling, and were discussing which of his relatives there they would be obliged to visit. "Not her, not her," he said about one aunt. "She serves shukto at every meal!" It turned out he had spent several weeks, I think, in her home as a boy and that constant diet of shukto put him off it for years later. :-)<br /><br />But I have eaten shukto, and I like it. Maybe I will go to CR Park one day and see if I can find bori.

A pity, that Calcutta Calling has closed. The food was good and there was enough place to sit properly and converse.<br />Thank you for the recipeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
