<p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6pt;"><b><span style="font-size: medium; mso-ansi-language: EN-IN;">Bhapa Doi</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-IN;">It is a long time since my last post. In the
meanwhile I did upload two recipes on my YouTube channel during the lock down.
The lockdown did not help matters, my blog and the channel did take a backseat.
Anyway, one thing that I did realize was that, lockdown or not, comfort food
does uplift one’s spirit and Bhaapa Doi or steamed yoghurt is just such a
dessert.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-IN;">Bhaapa Doi is extremely simple to make and it
serves as an ideal alternative to mishit doi (sweetened yoghurt).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-IN;">My channel and blog is called <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">It is Tasty Ma!</b>, so no prizes for
guessing that my Ma made it just the way I have demonstrated it in the video.
Incidentally I never saw my mum make this, it invariably magically appeared on
the table. She always prepared it whenever we were away at school or college.
It so happened my mother was once explaining to a friend’s daughter how to make
it and I listened to the instructions attentively and retained it in the deep
recesses of my brain. After Ma’s demise, I dug into that memory and decided to
give it a try and was quite thrilled to find that it turned out so good.<span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-IN;">While making this dessert, keep the following
points in mind:</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 21.3pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt 21.3pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -14.2pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-IN; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">1.<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-IN;">You just
need three ingredients, yoghurt, condensed milk and a little milk</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 21.3pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt 21.3pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -14.2pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-IN; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">2.<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-IN;">The
yoghurt and the condensed milk should be of equal quantity. The milk should be
just be enough to cover the condensed milk and yoghurt mixture. </span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 21.3pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt 21.3pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -14.2pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-IN;">Please watch the video below:</span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 21.3pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt 21.3pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -14.2pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-IN;"></span></p><p>

Bengali will undoubtedly agree that, the fish to die for is Hilsa. A Bengali

paste or <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i>shorshe baata</i></b> as we

However, there is a problem
with grinding the mustard seeds, there is a chance of it turning bitter. There
are various theories regarding the grinding process, one of them being that it
is better to grind it to a fine paste in one shot, if you grind it repeatedly
in order to get that fine paste, then it is bound to get bitter.<br />
<a name='more'></a>Whatever the
theory these were applicable to the days of the grinding stone, nowadays
everyone uses the mixer-grinder and the problem of bitterness persists.</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;">
Many many years ago, I remember
a friend who had invited some of her friends over for lunch facing this problem
of bitter mustard paste. She was keen to feed her guests <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i>shorshe illish</i></b>. When I walked into her kitchen, I found her
grinding several batches of mustard seeds, tasting them and promptly throwing
them away. Finally, after sheer frustration, she dropped the idea and decided
on a more simple and if I may add a more mundane preparation of<i> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">illish</b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">maach</b></i> (hilsa fish).</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;">
When I returned home and told
my mother about my friend’s predicament my mother explained that the bitterness
was caused by the skin of the seed, the easiest way out was to strain the paste
after grinding it. My mother, therefore, always strained the mustard paste
after grinding it.</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6.0pt;">
I had posted a recipe of <a href="http://itistastyma.blogspot.com/2014/02/shorshay-maach-fish-in-mustard-sauce.html#more"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i>shorshe maach</i></b></a> some years back
but I thought of revisiting that recipe because this time it is hilsa fish not
just any other fish. Incidentally, I still use the grinding stone. I prefer
that to the mixer-grinder.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13.33px;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am sure, like me many of you may have found yourselves in
the unenviable position of trying figure out<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>what to eat while you are travelling or maybe you are not travelling but
are working outdoors in your hometown or city and scratching your head during lunch time wondering what to do. It has happened to me several
times irrespective of the fact whether I am alone or with a family member. The
problem that I have faced when alone is what do I order. The problem persists even
if I am with a friend or a family member as portions at restaurants are too
large. The large portions restrict us from ordering a variety of dishes. There
are times when I have felt tempted to try out some dishes, particularly
starters,but I have been compelled to drop the idea. Well now in Mumbai at
least Oh! Calcutta’s Bento Box comes to the rescue.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Bento Box is a term borrowed from Japanese. It refers to a takeout
meal suitable for one person. What you find in the Oh!Calcutta box is a Bengali
thali ideally suited for one person. You get variety right from starters, main
course, chutney, dessert, it is all there.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>It is quite delicious too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Paturi</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">In both the vegetarian and the non-vegetarian thali, they
have taken care to include one <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">patur</i></b>i. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i>Paturi </i></b>is a dish which comprises any item of
food wrapped in a banana leaf and then steamed. In the vegetarian thali there
is <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">paneer
paturi</i></b> and in the non-vegetarian thali you will find a piece of<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>basa fish.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13.33px;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Starters</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Both the thalis have some excellent starters. While the <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span><a href="https://itistastyma.blogspot.com/2011/05/banana-flower-cutlets-mochar-chop-past.html#more"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">mochar</i></b> chop</a> (banana flower cutlets) in the vegetarian thali is my all time favourite, the grilled chicken in the
non-vegetarian thali is absolutely delicious. There is a fish fry too in the
non-vegetarian thali.</span></div>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><a href="https://itistastyma.blogspot.com/2018/01/tomato-and-date-chutney-tomato-aar.html#more">Tomato Chutney</a></span></b><br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13.33px;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The tomato chutney is the typical Bengali date and tomato
chutney, not only is it tasty the quantity is pretty good for a takeaway thali.</span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13.33px;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">What I did not like </span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The only item I did not like was the mixed vegetable dish in
the vegetarian thali. Considering that it has baby corns in it, I would<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>most definitely not describe it as a Bengali
dish.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13.33px;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">All in all an excellent meal for one person, for that matter
even for two people if you would like to keep it light. What’s more it is good
value for money.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Check out the video below for a closer look at the thalis.</span><br />

This outlet shut shop on May 15, 2019, however I am told these boxes are still
available at their Andheri West and Tardeo outlets.</span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; margin: 0px;">Lit
Fests definitely provide some food for thought. We have been visiting the Times Litfest since 2015 and surely enough some of the sessions did satiate our
hunger or to be more appropriate our need for the occasional intellectual
stimulus. However, as Swami Vivekanand rightly pointed out that religion cannot
be preached to empty stomachs, likewise we realized soon enough that it is a
little difficult to pay much attention to any session if you are hungry. An
empty stomach makes your mind invariably race towards food. In these past three
years the Times Litfest has not disappointed us on the food front. I say three years because in 2015 the food court was a vegetarian food court, since 2016 we found a good blend of vegetarian and non-vegetarian fare.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="margin: 0px;">Interestingly
there is always a session on food and usually I find them quite interesting and
informative, however 2018's session on food blogging titled <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #660000;">–</span></span> Who’s
Calling The Shots Who’s Stirring The Pot, Have bloggers mirched up the market,
or are they pretenders to the bone?’ turned out to be a damp squib. The
panelist comprised </span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Pooja Dhingra owner of Le15 Patissere </span><span style="margin: 0px;">(the very popular
patisserie chain in Mumbai), food blogger Kalyan Karmakar, restrauteur Amrish
Arora of Fountain Hospitality. The discussion was moderated by </span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Farzana
Contractor </span><span style="margin: 0px;">publisher,
editor and chief photographer of UpperCrust. Contractor was a disappointment,
she was quite prejudiced where bloggers were concerned and seemed to have an
axe to grind with the food bloggers., Towards the end, though we did have some
entertainment when a few young food bloggers took exception to Farzana
Contractor referring to the food bloggers as ‘bachchas’ (little kids). Her
contention being they were little more than kids, with little or no knowledge
of food and therefore not qualified to give opinions or write reviews, The
argument that ensued between the food bloggers in the audience and Contractor
was quite amusing.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The German highway system is called Autobahn. No, this post
is not a review of the German highway system. It is a review of Autobahn, the
restaurant located at Phoenix Market City in Pune, Maharashtra (India). In this
food highway you will find technology and taste making for a perfect
combination. </span></div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">When I entered the restaurant, it did not remind me of a
highway, but there was this sense of déjà vu. I felt as though I was at the airport
waiting for my luggage. At the airport,
however,<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>expectantly looking at the luggage
carousel hoping to finally see your luggage arrive safely can, sometimes be
quite a frustrating exercise; but what if a similar conveyor belt at a
restaurant tempted you with delectable looking starters the moment you took
your seat? Confused?<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">At Autobahn the
moment you enter you see conveyor belts, that are neatly laid out alongside the dining tables, continuously carrying
starters. You also see diners picking the so-called starters as and when they feel like
doing so.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I say ‘so-called starters’
because you don’t need to follow any particular order,<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>you can pick a dish while you are having your
main course<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>and have it as a side dish.</span></div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Personal work often takes us to Pune. We heard about this
new restaurant which had an interesting food serving concept. According to the
restaurant’s General Manager, the owner wanted to do something novel. He
borrowed this concept from the conveyor belt sushi found in sushi restaurants
in Japan. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conveyor_belt_sushi"><span style="color: blue;">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conveyor_belt_sushi</span></a>.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #990000;">I will be honest, I
was skeptical about this concept, in fact when we entered the restaurant and
saw conveyor belts carrying starters, we wondered – is it just a gimmick to
hook the customer?<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Does the food taste
good? We were pleasantly surprised to find that the food, at least the dishes
that we tried were quite tasty. The cuisine here is pan-Indian. As the chef is
a Bengali, the Bengali dishes like <i>kosha mangsho</i> (slow cooked mutton) and the
<i>maacher paturi</i> (steamed fish) are quite good.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><span style="color: #990000;"></span><br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13.33px;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Personally for me the plus points were:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #990000;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Subtle flavours,</b>
not overly spiced and best of all just the right amount of chillies.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><span style="color: #990000;"></span><br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13.33px;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #990000;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Portions</b> that are
just right. At most restaurants the portions are quite large.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Solitary diners or even couples have a
problem. I have seen either the food being wasted or the diners just trying to
make do with a single dish like a fried rice or pulao. Under such circumstances even though you feel
like trying out some more dishes like a starter or something else, you skip it
for fear of wasting the food.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">What I like best here is that they have a half plate of rice
on their menu. This is a boon; I was able to, therefore, try out some of the starters
because I knew I could order just half a plate of rice for the main course.</span><br />

conclude what makes this place a pleasurable dining experience is the behavior
of the staff. The General<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Manager and
rest of the staff engage with each and every customer. I have noticed the
General <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Manager going from table to
table and taking care of the needs of every customer. </span></span></div>

It has been a while since I have posted on my blog. Personal
matters kept me away and as a result I was unable to post this recipe during
Durga Puja. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tomato and date chutney is a
must have accompaniment with the <i>bhog</i> during Durga Puja. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you have ever had the good fortune of
partaking of the <i>bhog</i> during the Durga Puja celebrations of the Bengalis, then
you may have had the pleasure of enjoying this chutney. So try out this simple
but delicious chutney, I have added dried figs to the chutney to further
enhance the flavour of the chutney.<br />

Below is the video of the chutney and here is the YouTube url: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_DIMCd0lQw">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_DIMCd0lQw </a>in case
you face a problem with opening the window below. The detailed recipe is below
the video.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Ingredients:</b></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>3 Tomatoes </li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>3 or 4 Dates </li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>2 Dried Figs </li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Few raisins</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>A pinch of turmeric powder</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>A little less than ½ teaspoon ginger paste</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>A little black mustard seeds</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Sugar to taste</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Less than one
tablespoon of mustard oil or any other oil of your choice.</li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Method.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: white;">E</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Chop the figs and soak them in some warm water along with the raisins.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in;">
Chop the tomatoes and the dates. Take
care not to chop the dates into tiny pieces or they will get mushy while
cooking and you will not have the pleasure of biting into the dates.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in;">
Heat the oil in a vessel of your
choice and add the black mustard seeds.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in;">
Once the mustard seeds start crackling
add the chopped tomatoes.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in;">
Stir fry, cover the vessel for a few
minutes and then add a pinch of salt. The salt helps to soften the tomatoes
quickly, besides also helping to balance the flavour of the chutney. Stir for a
little while.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in;">
After the tomatoes have softened a bit
add the turmeric powder and the ginger paste. Stir and cover it for a little
while and then add the sugar. The quantity of the sugar will depend on how sweet
you would like your chutney to be; you have to keep in mind that dates are sweet and
therefore it would be wise to adjust the quantity of sugar keeping the
sweetness of the dates in mind. Too much sugar along with the dates could make
the chutney too sweet.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in;">
After stirring a bit, add water. Allow
the chutney to cook for a while, do not immediately add the dates because they
may completely dissolve if kept boiling for too long.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in;">
After some of the water has
evaporated, add the chopped dates, raisins and figs.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in;">
Let the chutney cook till it has
thickened, of course you can stop the cooking process if you do not want it to
be too thick.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in;">
Just before switching off the flame add a few
drops of lemon juice. The lemon juice acts as a preservative and also adds that
bit of tang to this sweet chutney.<br />

<span style="color: #660000;">This blog was started to keep a record of my <a href="https://itistastyma.blogspot.in/p/mums-cooking.html">mum’s delicious cooking.</a> One of her popular dishes was malpuas. I use the word popular because
there were some diehard fans of her malpuas;<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>these fans would drop all their dietary restrictions just to eat her
delicious malpuas. Why were her malpuas so popular? Well the answer is simple <span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 150%;">—</span>
they would just melt in the mouth.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">I had watched my mum make the malpuas but I had never had
the guts to make them myself, circumstances compelled me to try my hand. What
were those circumstances? It so happened that we were once having lunch at one
of Oh! Calcutta’s Mumbai outlets. After finishing our lunch when we were about to
settle the bill we found we were over charged.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The restaurant manager in order to make amends offered us complementary
malpuas. The malpuas were so stiff and rubbery that I decided to go right ahead
and make malpuas myself. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I got it right
and they did turn out like my mum’s – they were melt in the mouth.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;">Malpuas are a must have sweet during certain festivals, but why wait for a festival to indulge your sweet tooth?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just go right ahead and make them now, it is
quite simple. Below is the video of the dish and below that is the detailed
recipe.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><b>Ingredients:</b></span></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="color: #660000;">Approximately 4 to 4 ½ tablespoons of <i>maida</i> (white flour)</span></li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #660000;">500ml milk. It is better to use full cream milk, because it
is tastier, I used low fat milk as I am watching my calories.</span></div>
</li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;">A few raisins.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="color: #660000;"> </span><span style="color: #660000;">Sugar according to your taste</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="color: #660000;"> Some strands of saffron and almond flakes (optional)</span></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><b>Method:</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;">Soak raisins in warm water. This will not only wash off the
dirt but the raisins will also swell up.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;">Make sugar syrup by dissolving the required quantity of
sugar in hot water. While the quantity of sugar depends on your personal taste,
the consistency of the syrup should not be too thick or too thin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Add a few strands of saffron for added
flavor. The saffron is of course optional.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;">Boil the milk and reduce it to about 200mls.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;">Add the raisins to the reduced milk.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;">Add the <i>maida</i> to the reduced milk. Add one tablespoon at a
time so that lumps are not formed. I added approximately 4 ½ tablespoons of
<i>maida</i>. The batter should be of dripping consistency; however the best way to
check whether you have got the consistency right is to drop a small portion in
hot oil. If this little portion does not stick to the sides and you are able to
fry it easily then rest assured you have got the consistency right.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;">Having assured yourself of the batter's consistency, you can
now start frying the malpuas. Scoop out a ladle full of the batter and drop it
in the hot oil (if the oil is sufficiently hot you can reduce the flame while you
are frying). Once the malpua puffs up like a <i>puri</i>, flip it over to the other
side, once it is nicely browned drop it into the sugar syrup.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;">Fry the remaining malpuas and allow them to soak in the
sugar syrup for some time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;">Please note if your malpuas puff up like <i>puris</i>, they will
be soft and will melt in your mouth.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;">Garnish with almond flakes<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and some more strands of saffron (this is optional).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">Serve hot.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><b>Tip</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;">It is always better to serve warm if not hot malpuas. So
before serving, either warm them in a microwave or in a steamer.</span></div>

<b><i>Cheere</i></b> is the Bengali word for flattened rice also called <b><i>poha</i></b> in certain parts of India. As is obvious from the name of this recipe this dish is a <b><i>pulao</i></b> made from flattened rice, this is a traditional Bengali dish.<br />
<br />
While on the subject of traditional dishes, I recall way back in my childhood my mother cooking these dishes and some of her friends, even while enjoying the dish, would express their inability to make these dishes because of the effort that goes into preparing them. Inability to make a dish due to the effort or time that goes into it appears to be a common refrain amongst those who are reluctant to spend too much time in the kitchen. When I grew up I wondered whether these traditional dishes and recipes will be lost when my mum and others like her are no longer around. I, therefore, decided on this blog but deep down in my heart there was a doubt, will the younger generation really be interested in the traditional recipes? However, I have noticed - much to my pleasant surprise - that the traditional recipes both in this blog and on my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/shilpiboseonline">YouTube channel</a> get more hits than the other recipes.<br />

<br />
<a name='more'></a>The fact that most food lovers favour traditional food was reinforced by the panelists in a discussion titled ‘<b>Like Mamma Used To Make- The traditional strikes back in the world kitchen'</b> at the recent Times Lit Fest 2016 held in Mumbai. The discussion was all about food memories and traditional cooking. I learnt that scientists have found that nostalgia plays a very important role where food is concerned. One of the panelists Bee Wilson, a British food writer and journalist, shared that even babies have nostalgia, because babies are imprinted with memories of flavours from their mothers’ diet. This has been proved by some experiments conducted by scientists. During the course of these experiments, some pregnant women were fed lots of carrot juice in the last trimester of pregnancy. After the birth of the babies when they were given the first bite of solid food they preferred the flavour of carrots. That I felt was a very, very interesting insight and I am not surprised that in this blog dishes like <b><i><a href="http://itistastyma.blogspot.in/2012/11/chhanaar-dalna-or-paneer-bengali-style.html#more">chanar dalna</a>, <a href="http://itistastyma.blogspot.in/2013/04/doi-maach-reposting-with-video.html#more">doi maach</a>, <a href="http://itistastyma.blogspot.in/2013/02/pyaaz-kali-reposting-with-video.html">pyaaz kali</a>, <a href="http://itistastyma.blogspot.in/2011/02/saraswati-puja-whole-boiled-vegetables.html#more">gota shedhho</a></i></b> hold an edge over the other dishes. <br />
<br />
So after having shared with you what I learnt at the Times LitFest 2016, I will now move onto the recipe of <b>Cheerer Pulao.</b> As with most dishes every home has their own traditional recipe, the following recipe is based on what I saw at home. My mum did not add saffron, I on the other hand decided to enrich it by adding a few strands of saffron.<br />
<br />
Please note that this is a sweet pulao.<br />
<br />
Here is a video of the dish and below that is the detailed recipe:<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 8.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Method:</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 8.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
Choose
a thick variety of poha/ flattened rice. Add water to it and immediately
drain it out. If you soak it for too long in the water then while cooking, the
poha/flattened rice might just disintegrate and become lumpy.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 8.0pt;">
Leave the flattened rice on the strainer to
allow all the water to drain out and at this stage add a pinch of salt and mix
well. As it is not possible to add too much water to this dish it is better to add the
salt while the poha/flattened rice is moist, this will help the salt to blend well with the flattened rice.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 8.0pt;">
Dissolve some sugar in water. It would be better
to use castor sugar as it easily dissolves in water. I used approximately three
teaspoons of sugar because I like this pulao a little sweet. Do not use too
much water for dissolving the sugar.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 8.0pt;">
Dissolve the turmeric powder and the Kashmiri
chilli powder or any red chilli powder of your choice in very little water.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 8.0pt;">
Soak a few strands of saffron in water and grind
to a coarse paste.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 8.0pt;">
Heat a little oil or pure ghee in a heavy bottomed vessel else the dish may have a tendency to burn as you need to use very little water while cooking.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 8.0pt;">
Add the cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, bay leaf to
the oil/ghee, once they begin to crackle, lower the flame and add the chopped
cashew nuts and stir fry for a while.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 8.0pt;">
Add the poha/flattened rice. Stir a bit.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 8.0pt;">
Now add the turmeric powder and the Kashmiri
chilli powder that was dissolved in water.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 8.0pt;">
Add the sugar dissolved in water. Finally add
the raisins.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 8.0pt;">
After stirring switch of flame.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 8.0pt;">
Add the saffron paste.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 8.0pt;">
Serve as a snack or maybe at breakfast too.</div>

Ever since I started cooking regularly, I have not only begun to enjoy the process of cooking but also I have started experimenting and trying out new recipes. Recently I decided to experiment with aromatic spices. I cooked chicken with these spices and realized that this base gravy would go with almost anything. So when I laid my hands on some good quality prawns, I decided to cook it in this gravy. It was yum!<br />
<br />
Vegetarians can cook <i>paneer</i> (cottage cheese) in this gravy. I think potatoes too would taste wonderful if cooked in this gravy.<br />
<br />
The video of the dishes has been embedded below and here is the YouTube link <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8g6f_1UALI">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8g6f_1UALI </a>. For the detailed recipe see below.<br />

<li>One teaspoon black pepper</li>
<li>One dried Kashmiri chilli (deseeded)</li>
<li>A little chopped coriander leaves</li>

<br />
<b>Method:</b><br />
<b></b><br />
Heat a little oil (about a tablespoon of oil) in a pan and shallow fry the ingredients listed above for the fried <i>garam masala.</i><br />
Cook till the onion pieces have softened and have turned slightly brown.<br />
After frying allow the <i>masala</i> to cool and then grind it to a paste. Keep aside.<br />
Heat some oil in a vessel of your choice. As the quantity of chicken I had was little, I took about 2 tablespoons of oil.<br />
After heating the oil add the bay leaf and the finely chopped half onion pieces and fry.<br />
Add a little salt to help soften the onions.<br />
Add the chopped tomato<br />
Cover and cook and allow the tomato to soften.<br />
After the onion has turned brown and the tomato has softened add the ginger-garlic paste.<br />
Add about a quarter teaspoon turmeric powder and chilli powder. The chilli powder has to be according to your taste.<br />
Add approximately 2 teaspoons of coriander and cumin seeds mix powder.<br />
Stir fry well, that is, until you see a bit of oil being released from the fried mixture.<br />
You can add the fried <i>garam masala</i> paste at this stage or you can add it after adding the chicken with the chicken stock.<br />
If required add a little water.<br />
Cover and cook for some time. Allow the gravy to thicken.<br />
Adjust the salt after tasting it.<br />
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.<br />
Serve hot with steamed rice or <i>roomali rotis.</i><br />

Shell and devein the prawns.<br />
Add a little turmeric powder and salt to the prawns and stir fry them.<br />

I am a fourth generation migrant Bengali and I have noticed that West Bengalis no matter where they reside love Alu Posto and Shukto. Contrary to the popular belief that Bengalis are hardcore fish eaters, some people even mistakenly believe that we are pescetarians (also called pesco-vegetarian), Bengalis also eat a variety of vegetables and cook the vegetables in different ways.<br />
<br />
As with all dishes I have noticed each region and each family have their own recipe for these vegetarian dishes, each one claiming their recipe to be the authentic one. I would rather not get into that debate. The recipe of Shukto given below is what my mum cooked; she in turn learnt to cook it from senior members of her family.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
July 25th was my mum’s fifth death anniversary, August 2nd was her 82nd birth anniversary and August 4th was this blog’s 6th anniversary. I started this blog with the intention of keeping a record of my mum’s fabulous cooking. As my mum passed away a few days short of this blog’s first anniversary, that wish of recording her dishes remained incomplete. I have added a tab (above) Ma’s Cooking listing out all the dishes that Ma cooked for this blog.<br />
<br />
A few days before she passed away she had cooked Shukto. <i>Bori</i> (sun-dried lentil dumplings) is an important ingredient of this dish. A few months before my mum passed away we had visited Delhi, at Delhi’s Chittaranjan Park, the city’s Bengali hub we managed to get some <a href="http://itistastyma.blogspot.in/2011/04/foodie-jaunts.html#more"><i>boris</i>,</a> therefore my mum wasted no time in cooking Shukto. I remember her saying, "I have <i>bori</i>, now I can cook Shukto." Besides <i>bori</i> she also used to say that you must have plantains, <i>shukto</i> without <i>bori</i> and plantains was just not right according to her. Instead of potatoes she also preferred to use sweet potatoes.<br />
<br />
Interestingly, this dish serves as an entrée. The Bengali meal is served in courses beginning with a bitter dish and ending with sweets. As bitter gourd (<i>karela</i>) is one of the ingredients in this dish, it is served first.<br />
<br />
I decided to feature the dish in this blog. My brother got down to shooting pictures, but unfortunately I never got the opportunity of getting the detailed recipe from mum. Fortunately I had watched mum cook this dish in the past and had once also asked for the recipe. That was a long time ago, recently I managed to get all the ingredients and decided to dig into my memory and cook shukto, it tasted just like my mum’s that has emboldened me to post this recipe. What you see here is the photo of the shukto my mother cooked that day along with the photos of the vegetables she chopped that day.<br />
<br />
The measurements are approximate; it would be wise to use your judgement. <br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>2 or 3 medium sized potatoes or one sweet potato of approximately 150gms. You can use both the potatoes and the sweet potatoes. </li>
</ul>

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Paanch phoron- the Bengali 5 spices comprising equal quantities of cumin seeds, nigella seeds, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds and fennel seeds.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>½ teaspoon of ginger paste.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Salt to taste and required quantity of oil.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>Method:</b><br />
<br />
Chop the vegetables as shown in the photographs above. You can, to begin with chop the potatoes as you would for thick French fries and match the shape of the aubergine, sweet potatoes, plantain and the radish to the shape of the potatoes so that there is some consistency.<br />
<br />
As for the bitter gourd- cut the gourd into circular slices and then chop the slices length wise.<br />
<br />
Stir fry the radish, keep aside. Likewise stir fry the bitter gourd and keep aside.<br />
<br />
Dry roast the <i>boris</i> and drop them in warm water for a few minutes. This will prevent the <i>boris</i> from disintegrating during cooking. By allowing them to soak in the warm water the <i>boris</i> will at the same time be a little soft and absorb the flavours of the shukto.<br />
<br />
Heat oil and add <i></i><i>paanch phoron</i>. (approximately ½ teaspoon)<br />
<br />
When the <i>paanch phoron</i> seeds begin to crackle add the sweet potato and potatoes if you are using both.<br />
<br />
Also add the plantain pieces. Allow it to cook then add the aubergine pieces.<br />
<br />
After the vegetables have softened a bit add the fried radish and bitter gourd.<br />
<br />
Add salt to taste and ginger paste. Stir fry for a little bit and then add water. Cover and cook.<br />
<br />
After some of the water has evaporated add the <i>boris</i>. Cook till done.<br />
<br />
Dry roast <i>paanch phoron</i> and dry grind it. Sprinkle this powder on the shukto before serving.<br />
<br />
Some people in order to thicken the gravy mix a little white flour (<i>maida</i>) to a little milk and add it to the shukto. I have not seen my mum do it therefore I did not add the flour and milk mixture.<br />
<br />
It tasted similar to my mum’s so I guess I got the recipe right.<br />
<br />
<b>A suggestion</b><br />
<br />
What usually puts off most people about this dish is the inability to get all the ingredients at the same time. That could be one of the reasons why restaurants serving Bengali food may have this dish on their menu but seldom actually serve it. If at all they do serve it, then it is usually not the shukto that I know.<br />
<br />
I like shukto, it is light on the stomach as it does not have overpowering <i>masalas</i>. I therefore plan to cook this dish even if I do not get all the ingredients, it might not be the traditional shukto but it will be a good vegetarian dish on its own, so readers I suggest you could try this even if you get a few of the vegetables listed above.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #660000;">Garam Masala is an essential part of Indian cooking. There are different types of garam masala powders, I have found some of them quite strong and a bit overwhelming for my taste, therefore I always use homemade garam masala. Like all things in this blog, the recipe of the garam masala has my mother’s touch.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #660000;">I have not given the measurements, you can measure out the ingredients according to your taste.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #660000;"><b>Ingredients:</b></span></span><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #660000;">Coriander and Cumin seeds: When you measure out these two ingredients remember to take them in the ratio of 2:1 that is if you take two teaspoons of coriander seeds then take one teaspoon of cumin seed.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #660000;"> Cinammon</span></span></li>

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #660000;">Dry Kashmiri red chilli</span></span></li>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #660000;"><b>Method:</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #660000;">You may have noticed that cloves have a kind of lump in the centre, remove this lump, my mum always advised me to do so. After my mum passed away a chef on a television programme gave the same advice. He said that once you remove this, the clove becomes more flavourful. There is a sort of burst of flavour.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">Traditionally Bengalis are a non-vegetarian community. We do eat a variety of vegetables but those of us from West Bengal swear by one particular vegetarian dish and that is <i>aaloo posto</i>, <i>aaloo</i> is potatoes and <i>posto</i> is the Bengali word for poppy seed. A Bengali is usually lost without fish but if you tell him or her that there is aaloo posto then you are sure to see the relief on his/her face. </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;">It is a simple dish and very easy to cook. Different households have different recipes, therefore after seeing my recipe if you compare notes with other Bengalis you may find some difference.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">In the recipe below I haven’t given the measurements because this is one dish where you have to measure out the ingredients according to your taste. If you wish you can take more potatoes and less poppy seed paste or vice versa. You need to cook this dish with mustard oil for that unique flavour, you will not get that flavour if you use any other oil.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;">Here is the video of the dish.</span><br />

<span style="color: #660000;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #660000;"><b>Ingredients:</b></span><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="color: #660000;">Potatoes</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;">Poppy seed paste</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;">Turmeric powder (optional)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;">Chilli powder (optional)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;">Chopped green chillies</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;">Salt to taste</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;">Mustard oil.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><b>Method:</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">Peel and dice potatoes.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">Grind the poppy seed into a paste. You may use the electric mixer-grinder for the purpose. However I prefer to use the grinding stone.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">If you wish, grind the green chillies with the poppy seed paste.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">Heat the required quantity of mustard oil; do not take too much or too little of the oil. Use your judgment if you use too much it can become too oily and if you use too little then the flavour will be missing.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">Add the chopped potatoes and stir fry till slightly golden brown.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">Add the poppy seed paste.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">Stir a bit and then add the other ingredients, that is a little turmeric powder, chopped chillies and red chilli powder. Remember all this is optional, in some homes they do not add turmeric powder or red chilli powder at all, they only grind the poppy seed with the green chillies. Incidentally I always use Kashmiri red chilli powder.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">Add salt to taste and then add water. Cover and cook till done. This is a dry dish, how dry you would like it to be depends on your taste. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">Incidentally you can add other vegetables too, like peeled and chopped ridge gourd or chopped drumstick. Some people also use prawns.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">We Bengalis love to eat it with steamed rice.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">Way back in my childhood and partially into my adult life, restaurants serving Bengali food just did not exist. I remember people visiting Calcutta too lamented the fact that if you wanted to eat good Bengali food you would have to hope that somebody would invite you to their homes. Calcutta too did not have too many restaurants serving Bengali food. Oh yes there were the road side stalls, but one sort of hesitated to eat there. Thankfully things have changed, Calcutta for many years has a number of Bengali restaurants but what is interesting is that Bombay too is fast catching up. It all started with <b>Only Fish</b> which later transformed into <b>Oh! Calcutta</b>, others like <b>Bhojohori Manna</b>, <b>Bijoli Grill</b> followed. Then there is <b>Hangla</b>, a chain of road side stalls with outlets in several places in Bombay, but in recent times the restaurant that gets my vote is <b>Bong</b> <b>Bong.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #660000;">This is a small, well to be more precise a tiny restaurant. It is air-conditioned but not a plush restaurant. There is limited seating arrangement; it mostly caters to the home delivery segment. It has simple wooden seating arrangement which is surprisingly not uncomfortable.</span><br />

<span style="color: #660000;">The most important thing is that the food is reasonably priced and good. So what have we eaten here? Well nearly most of the dishes. The <i>thali</i> is good value for money; there is the vegetarian mini and maxi <i>thali</i>, fish <i>thali</i>, mutton thali and chicken <i>thali</i>. Rice, <i>luchi</i> (<i>puris</i> made from <i>maida</i>) or <i>pulao</i>, <i>bhaja moong dal</i> (the <i>moong dal</i> is first dry roasted and then cooked) <i>aloo bhaja</i> (fried potatoes finely chopped lengthwise) or fried aubergine, a vegetable dish, papad, tomato chutney, salad and dessert of the day which usually is the <i>payesh</i> that is rice pudding or <i>kheer</i> as non-Bengalis call it. Of course depending on which <i>thali</i> you choose there will be another vegetable dish in case of vegetarian <i>thali</i> or fish, mutton or chicken dish. The fish in the fish <i>thali</i> is usually <i>rohu</i> or bekti (called <i>bhetki</i> by the Bengalis). The <i>thali</i> as you can see in the photograph below is served in bronze <i>thali </i>and bowls giving the diner a feel of the way food used to be traditionally served in the olden days in Bengal.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">If you happen to opt for <i>pulao</i> instead of <i>luchis</i>, you are assured a sumptuous meal as the plain steamed rice along with <i>pulao</i>, which has generous dose of raisins and cashew nuts, makes for a filling lunch. It would be wise to share it with someone.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /> All the dishes are delicious and what is most important is that they make it to suit your taste, so when I say ‘no chillies’, they serve the dish without chillies.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br />Having tasted most of the dishes on the menu, I can say that <b>Bong Bong </b>gives you good value for money. We have eaten several times at <b>Oh!Calcutta</b>, the food there is excellent but what we noticed was some of the dishes are over spiced making the dishes a little heavy on the stomach. <i>Mochar Ghonto</i> (Banana Flower dish) and <i>Dhokar Dalna</i> (steamed and fried cakes made from <i>chana dal</i> / Bengal gram <i>dal</i> served in gravy) are two dishes that I found are little over spiced at <b>Oh!Calcutta</b>. On the other hand <b>Bong Bong’s</b> dishes are less spice heavy, in fact their <i>Mochar Ghonto</i> was closer to what my mum cooked, here is a link to mum’s <a href="http://itistastyma.blogspot.in/search/label/Banana%20Flower%20Delight%20%28Mochar%20Ghonto%29"><b>Mochar Ghonto</b></a><i><a href="http://itistastyma.blogspot.in/search/label/Banana%20Flower%20Delight%20%28Mochar%20Ghonto%29">.</a></i><br /><br />As their overheads are much lower than that of <b>Oh!Calcutta</b>, they are able to keep their prices low. So you can have some of the same dishes as <b>Oh!Calcutta</b> at substantially low prices. The dishes are equally delicious as <b>Oh!Calcutta</b> and at times a little more delicious. So you can have <i>mochar chop</i> (banana flower cutlet), boneless <i>hilsa, pulao</i>, bhetki <i>paturi</i> (steamed bekti wrapped in banana leaves), <i>nolen gur</i> ice cream (ice cream flavoured with date palm jaggery) here at Bong Bong at about half the cost or even lower.</span><br />

But all the same here are the ones that we can go back for again and again, to begin at the beginning that is with the starters, there is the <i>mochar chop</i>, <i>murghir potli</i> <i>kabab</i> (minced chicken steamed in banana leaf bags) and <i>koraishutir chop</i> which is green peas croquette, it is absolutely wonderful. We have also eaten the usual Bengali favourites — <i>bhetki</i> fish fry and <i>topshe</i> fish fry (called mango fish in English). I have eaten <i>bhetki</i> fry several times, my mum made it whenever the fish was available, but the <i>topshe</i> fish fry was something that I ate for the first time. The fish is flown in from Calcutta as it is not available in Bombay. </span><br />

<span style="color: #660000;">In the mains, I love their <i>Basanti Pulao</i>, this <i>pulao</i> has some generous amount of nuts and raisins, and then there is <i>chingrir mashala pulao</i> that is basically prawn <i>pulao</i>.

<span style="color: #660000;">I have not mentioned the prices because I think there are going to be some changes; a new chef has also taken over. The earlier chef had worked at <b>Oh!Calcutta</b>. We found that a meal for two moderate eaters costs less than Rs.1000/-<br /><br />For those interested, it is located at Bandra West in Bombay, near Pali Hill at the corner of 16th and 33rd Road, just round the corner from the very popular Khan-e-khaas.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">May 8, 2016, is Mother’s Day, I thought why don’t I post
something in memory of my mum. The primary aim of this blog was to have a record
of all my mother’s wonderful cooking. Her sudden demise prevented me from
recording all her dishes, I managed to post only a few, but those few dishes
served to be a boon for me. I was able to cook some dishes because I had the
recipes. One such dish was the <a href="http://itistastyma.blogspot.in/2011/06/normal-0-false-false-false-en-us-x-none.html"><b>Raw Papaya Delight</b></a>, that my mum used to cook, I
had posted the recipe way back in June 3, 2011.The dish that you see in that post was
cooked by my mum. For Mother’s Day, I am posting a video of that dish <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">in which</span> you will

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the first week of December 2015, I visited the Times Lit Fest,
it was my first time at this event and I had a wonderful time. One of the
sessions that I attended was a discussion between Padma Lakshmi and Top Chef
winner <a href="http://www.cheffloydcardoz.com/">Floyd Cardoz</a> (titled '<b>Greed i</b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>s Great - whether it's Fancy Dining or Cutting Chai</b>')</span> and the discussion was
about….what else? Food of course.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Something that Cardoz said struck a chord in my heart <span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;">–</span> he said that when he
cooks something, he often finds it difficult to later recall<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span>how he exactly cooked the dish. His mother wanted a recipe of one of his dishes that he had once cooked for
her but he just could not remember exactly how he did it. At his restaurant however
his sous chef accompanies him and as Cardoz cooks, the sous chef notes down everything.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I too face a similar problem, I cook something, it is tasty but I
soon forget <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">how I made the</span> dish. So some months back when I laid my
hands on some fresh coriander leaves and saw the cottage cheese/<b><i>paneer</i></b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that I had made the day before lying in the
refrigerator I thought of doing something different <span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;">–</span> something I hadn’t eaten
before nor had I heard of anyone ever making something similar. I asked my
brother to get his camera and shoot as I went along cooking so that <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">there is a record of how I was <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">preparing the dish<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">.</span></span> If</span></span></span><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> you are wondering
how did it turn out? It was fabulous, very tasty and so simple to make. I
realized that I had managed to live up to my blog’s tagline <b>‘<i>Cooking Made
Simple</i>’</b>. Below is the recipe and below that is the video of the dish.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ingredients:</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Approximately 250gms Paneer (Cottage cheese). I used
<a href="http://itistastyma.blogspot.in/2010/10/paneercottage-cheeese-chhana-homemade_5818.html#more">homemade <b><i>paneer</i></b>.</a> I made the <b><i>panee</i></b>r from approximately 600mls of low fat milk. </span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">2 small onions ground to a paste.</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">One teaspoon ginger paste mixed together with the paste of one clove of garlic.</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Approximately 2 ½ tablespoons of cooking oil. I used
sunflower refined oil. Interestingly, a viewer having watched this dish on my
you tube channel decided to use butter instead of oil. If you are not counting
calories you can use butter it is bound to be tastier.</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">¼ teaspoon cumin seeds.</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">¼ teaspoon turmeric powder.</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">3 teaspoons <a href="http://itistastyma.blogspot.in/2010/10/coriander-and-cumin-seed-mix.html#more">coriander and cumin seed mix powder.</a></span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Green chillies either ground to a paste or chopped.</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Salt to taste.</span></span></span></li>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Method:</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Heat oil in a vessel of your choice.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Add the cumin seeds, once they begin to crackle add the
onion paste and stir fry till it is golden brown.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Add salt to taste. The salt will help to release some
moisture from the onions.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Add ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder and coriander and
cumin seed mix powder. Mix well.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">As I had made the <b><i>paneer</i></b> at home, I had whey so I used that
at this stage. If you are using ready made <b><i>paneer</i></b> you may add a few teaspoons of
water to the spice mixture and stir.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mash the <b><i>paneer</i></b> and add it to the spice mix. Mix well. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Add a little more water or whey and stir well.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Add coriander leave paste and chopped green chillies.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Cover and cook till done.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Serve hot garnished with chopped green chillies and sliced
tomatoes.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sPUd9hpnbuE" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Incidentally you can use your imagination and add different
ingredients to enhance the flavour. Once for instance, I added chopped capsicum
and garnished the dish with grated cottage cheese (See pic below). Needless to
mention the dish was yummy.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As I had mentioned in my previous post, <b>It is Tasty Ma!</b> completed
five years on August 4, 2015. I frankly cannot believe that the blog came this
far. I always thought of myself as someone who was not too fond of cooking, I
cooked because I had to eat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Much to my
surprise, I found that, not only have I begun to enjoy cooking but also love
sharing whatever I cook. I do not claim to be an expert, but am just someone
who is discovering the joys of cooking and just wants to share it with the
world. </span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The blog has been given a new look.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>More changes are in the pipeline. While that
is happening, I thought I will share the recipe of Plantain Cutlets.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Whenever my mother cooked plantain and found that there was
an excess of the dish and realized that we were getting bored with it, she invariably made these cutlets -- she did not call
them cutlets, she called it <i>kaach kolar chop</i>. I decided to call them cutlets,
anyway whatever we call it, rest assured
it is a lovely snack.</span></span><span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #783f04;">Before you make the cutlets you have to first cook the plantains or rather make the <i>kaach kolar torkari</i> as we Bengalis call it. <a href="http://itistastyma.blogspot.in/2012/03/plantain-with-potatoeskaach-kolar.html#more"> Click here</a> for the video and recipe of the Plantain Dish/Kaach Kolar Torkari.</span></span><b><span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span></b><br />

<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here is a video of the making of the Plantain Cutlets.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Recipe</b></span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Keep aside a
portion of the plantain dish for these cutlets.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">To further
enhance the flavour of the dish chop some fresh coriander leaves and add it to
the dish.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Add some chilli
powder, chopped green chilliies (if you wish to) and some <i>garam masala</i> powder
to it. Add some <i>besan</i> (chickpea flour). The quantity of the <i>besan</i>
will depend on the quantity of the dish.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Moisten a
slice of bread, squeeze out the water and add it to the dish.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Taste a bit and
adjust the salt. At this stage I usually test it by making a small ball and
deep frying it, if it does not disintegrate then I know the <i>besan</i> is
just right, or else I add a bit more <i>besan.</i> Take care not to add too
much of <i>besan</i> or you will end up with an overwhelming flavour of the <i>besan</i>
which is likely to overshadow the other flavours.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Divide
the mixture into equal portions, giving them whatever shape you like and deep
fry them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Serve hot with
tomato sauce or any chutney. It is quite tasty, believe me! <b><br /></b></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In case you do not want to make
the Kaach Kolar Torkari then follow the following steps:</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Boil the plantains and potatoes, take more of the plantain
and less of the potatoes.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Add chilli powder, chopped green chillies, garam masala
powder, a little grated ginger or ginger paste and salt to taste.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To bind the mixture add a little <i>besan</i> and also add a slice of moistened bread to the mixture.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now mix well, divide into equal portions and deep fry after shaping
them as you wish.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This version of the cutlets will have a milder flavour as
compared to the one made from the Kaach Kolar Torkari, as the cutlets will have the
flavours of all the masalas (spices) that are present in the dish.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">My blog turned 5 on August 4, 2015, I wanted to revamp my blog
before making any new posts, but that is taking time so I thought why don’t I
post a tip? In any case, I have neglected my Tips and Trivia section for a long time. </span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Some days back a neighbour
and after a few days my cousin, both expressed helplessness at not being
able to get rid off the fishy smell from utensils
after cooking and eating fish. They also faced this problem with eggs. They
tried the usual remedies like lemon juice, vinegar, tamarind and so on. When I
told them what could solve their
problem, my cousin immediately suggested I put it in my Tips and Trivia
section.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">So here I am with the solution. The solution to this problem is actually
quite simple, it is good old <i>besan</i> (chickpea flour). Apply <i>besan</i> to the
utensils before you scrub it off with the dish washing liquid or powder. You
will have successfully got rid off the fishy smell. In case you do not have
<i>besan</i> then use whole wheat flour, it works just as well.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">In case of your hands
besides <i>besan</i> you can also use coconut oil or mustard oil. Apply the oil to
your hands and leave it on for a while, then wash it off with soap and
water you will not get that fishy smell. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hope this tip proves to be of some help to my readers.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">There was a time not so long ago, that is, about ten to
fifteen years back, we could enjoy some real good quality Chinese food not just
at reasonably priced restaurants but also at roadside outlets. One did not have
to always visit a high end restaurant for some good Chinese food. Way back in
the eighties, if I remember correctly, a Chinese chef named Col Lee, who used
to earlier work for a restaurant, decided to branch out on his own, he set up
shop at south Bombay’s prime business district Nariman Point. He sold Chinese
food from a hand cart. Needless to mention office goers made a beeline
for his cart, after all he was a Chinese selling Chinese food, soon he also
attracted the notice of food reviewers. Likewise once while my brother and I
were out on professional work, we found this roadside restaurant run by an old
Chinese gentleman. It was a makeshift restaurant with plastic chairs and
tables, but the food that this gentleman cooked was mind blowing, a high end
restaurant would have charged an arm and leg for such good quality food. Now
sadly everything has changed, all you get, even in some of the fairly high
priced restaurants, is Chinese food with strong flavours, guaranteed to overwhelm
your taste buds.</span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was therefore a pleasant surprise when we tasted some
fairly good quality Chinese food at <b>Orient 8</b> in Lavasa (a hill station in Pune
district). Earlier the premises housed
Oriental Octopus that served food from eight countries from the Far East. It
was reviewed some years back <a href="http://itistastyma.blogspot.in/2013/07/foodie-jaunts.html">here in this blog</a>. This restaurant was a bit expensive; after it exited Lavasa, the management
of <b>Waterfront Shaw Apartment Hotel</b>, took over the space and launched
Orient 8. This restaurant only serves Chinese food. The food is very good,
delicately flavoured and what’s important very reasonably priced.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Waterfront Shaw owns a string of
restaurants in Lavasa, these are located on the hotel’s ground floor.</span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Df68WvMJiPo/Va9_44jVz1I/AAAAAAAADxs/t8WaIg4cuhM/s1600/Copy%2Bof%2BOrient8-7coursemeal%2B013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="335" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Df68WvMJiPo/Va9_44jVz1I/AAAAAAAADxs/t8WaIg4cuhM/s400/Copy%2Bof%2BOrient8-7coursemeal%2B013.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">For quite
some time now they have started offering <b>7 Course Meals</b> at Rs 485 plus taxes
(both veg and non-veg) at these restaurants. We had already tasted the à la
carte menu at Orient 8, so we decided to try the 7 course meal. Was it good value
for money? It sure was; we paid Rs. 1191 for two persons which was inclusive of tax. What’s more unlike <a href="http://itistastyma.blogspot.in/2014/10/foodie-jaunts-unfixed-lunch-at-mainland.html">Mainland China’s Unfixed Lunch</a> (the
management there does not allow you to either share or pack and take what you
have been unable to eat), at Orient 8 you can share as well as pack and take
along what is left over from the 7 course meal. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></span><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">As I have already mentioned, the dishes are delicately
flavoured and it reminded me of the good old days when Chinese restaurants were
not so ubiquitous and they were run by Chinese so what you got those days was the
real thing.</span></span><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Incidentally, we learnt that at Orient 8, they
use broth powder. I do not know whether nowadays it is a
practice to use broth powder at Chinese restaurants or only this restaurant
uses it, we had never heard of broth powder back in our childhood. </span><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">The menu for the 7course meal comprises four soups (two veg
and two non-veg), </span></span><br />

(both veg and non-veg), six items in the main course (three veg and three
non-veg) and finally three desserts (Honey Noodles with ice-cream, Date Pancakes
with ice-cream and Five Spice Chocolate Mousse). You have to choose one item from
each course. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">When we had the 7 course meal for the first time, we stuck to the menu but on our second visit we decided to try our luck and see whether they were willing to serve something from their </span></span><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">à la carte menu and we were pleasantly surprised, we found that they were quite flexible. A</span></span><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">lthough sweet corn chicken soup was not part of the 7 course meal menu, they
agreed to give us sweet corn chicken soup. For a long time now I have stopped ordering
sweet corn chicken soup, for I just wasn’t satisfied with what arrived on the
table. I, therefore, prefer to make it at home; here however, the sweet corn
soup took me back to my childhood days. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">We always ask the chefs in any restaurant to
go easy on the chillies. We did the same here. I really liked what the chef did
to the <b>Beijing salad</b>, in order to suit our palate he toned down the chillies,
he gave just a hint of chilli paste and added a bit of tomato ketchup and soya
sauce and the end result was just wonderful.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">As for the <b>Five Spice Chocolate Mousse</b> (like the other desserts
it also features in their à la carte menu) we found it to be less of a mousse and
more of a cross between a chocolate brownie and a mousse. </span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">It tastes good
though, however if we were to compare it with what was available at the
Oriental Octopus, then the latter would unhesitatingly get our vote, but then
the mousse at Orient 8 is far cheaper than the one that was available at
Oriental Octopus.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">While I am at it, I might as well
talk about one particular item from their à la carte menu that bowled us over
and that was <b>Banana Leaf Wrapped Fish</b>. The fish was <i>basa</i> and it was prepared
with oyster sauce a bit of tomato ketchup, very little soya sauce and bowing to
our wishes the chef settled for just a hint of chilli paste, all this was
cooked wrapped in a banana leaf and it was absolutely delicious.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Watch the short video of the Banana Leaf Wrapped Fish below:</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Another interesting item that we tasted and made the mistake
of not photographing was the <b>Jackfruit Ice-cream</b>. This was something that the
head chef was experimenting with, he gave us some to taste (it was complimentary)
and believe me it was fabulous. He had used the crunchy jackfruit. The softer
variety of jackfruit, the chef explained, would not have lent the ice-cream the same flavour. What struck us was that the quantity of jackfruit
was just right and blended very well with the ice-cream. Jackfruit is a fruit
with a flavour that some find quite strong but in this ice-cream there was just
that hint of jackfruit flavour. This item is yet to make it to their menu
though, hope they decide to add it soon.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">All in all the 7 course meal is good value for money.
During the monsoons Lavasa is beautiful, so what could be better than feasting
our eyes on nature’s beauty and tucking into a lovely meal by the lakeside.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">In the
summer months what I like is something simple, as it is vegetables are scarce
during the summer months and one is not left with much choice. Whenever my mum
saw some good quality drumsticks (called <i><b>shojne daanta</b></i> in Bengali) in the
market, she picked them up to make this dish. I cooked this dish early this
summer for the first time, I had never cooked it before. Did I follow my mum’s
recipe? I hope so because it tasted just like hers.</span></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">My mum like
most Bengalis preferred the thin drumsticks to the thicker ones because they
more or less melt in the mouth. Most Bengalis also peel the drumsticks; I have
noticed that most non-Bengalis do not peel the drumsticks, therefore, if you
want to try this dish, you do not need to peel the drumsticks, if you do not
wish to do so.</span></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">I used the mortar
and pestle to grind the (black) mustard seeds however if you wish you can grind
it in the mixer-grinder. Remember to soak the mustard seeds in warm water, this
makes the grinding easier.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Below is the
video followed by a detailed recipe. In
the video you will notice I have said that I do not claim that I have cooked in
the traditional way, this is because different regions of Bengal and different
families have their own recipes which may differ slightly from the way I have
cooked the dish.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you want to unwind and just relax then Lavasa (situated in Pune district, Maharashtra) is the place to be in. Sometimes holidays too can tire you, thanks to all the sight seeing that you normally do in a tourist destination. Lavasa is one of those places where you just take in the scenic beauty all around you and just experience the place. What better way to begin your day than with a sumptuous breakfast. My brother Aroop Bose takes you on a Foodie Jaunt to Mercure's breakfast.</span></span>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">When you are out on a holiday a
hearty breakfast in the morning becomes very important; after a sumptuous
breakfast you might want to skip lunch and save time. Mercure, situated in
Lavasa near Pune is one hotel where every breakfast is not just a pleasure but
is a celebration.</span></span></div>

</tbody></table>
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Some of the above items change on a
day to day basis while others remain the same. For instance, instead of <i>uttapa</i>
you could be served <i>dosas</i> on certain days, <i>medu vada</i> could be replaced with
<i>bondas</i> or any other type of Indian style fritters or cocktail <i>samosas</i>; <i>kesri
kheer</i> could be replaced with some other item made with milk; sometimes in place
of <i>sabudana khichdi</i> you could be served <i>upma</i>. What I found unusual was the
spinach noodle soup, till then I did not know of any hotel that served soup for
breakfast. We had it on a wintery morning in January this year and it really
felt good. In fact I had asked one of the chefs when we should have the soup, he said that since the weather is cold we should begin our day
with a bowl of nice hot soup. The fruit cake that is served every single morning
is divine; it is freshly baked in the hotel itself. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Everything that is there on
the buffet tables is prepared with care and is tasty, however I can’t say the
same about the eggs. How the eggs are prepared mainly depends on the chef who
is in charge at that time; once I ordered fried eggs and the chef messed it up whereas on the following day another chef did a perfect job. Once when I ordered scrambled eggs, what came to my table did not resemble scrambled eggs at all. </span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">The restaurant staff is very caring
and provides excellent service, however things can sometimes go for a toss when
there is or are very large groups turning up for breakfast. In such a situation
certain items get over and are not replenished for sometime or not at all; once
I happened to see one gentleman who wanted to have cornflakes waiting endlessly
for an empty bowl, finally he gave up and decided to have
his cornflakes in a teacup. I observed that when there are large number of
guests present in the restaurant, especially at the live kitchen (where eggs,
ham, sausages, <i>dosas</i> are prepared and served), the staff members request guests to return to
their tables and they themselves volunteer to serve the required dishes to them on the table,
instead of the guest picking up his/her food from the live counter, which is what the guests are usually expected to do. As the staff members are busy serving the guests,there is hardly anyone to check from time to time if the food items
laid on the tables need to be replenished, this makes matters worse rather than
solve any problem. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">There is one very delicious item
that is seldom served, that is <i>sabudana vada</i>. This item is served sometimes only
when guests are few in number; the reason for this is that the item is so
delicious and popular that it gets over no sooner it is served, so it
becomes practically impossible for the hotel to satisfy large number of guests. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Overall I was very happy with the
buffet breakfast here at Mercure Lavasa. The food is good and the staff is
friendly, courteous and helpful. I feel like going there again.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">In my post on <b><a href="http://itistastyma.blogspot.in/2015/03/oaler-batichorchori-yam-in-bowl.html#more">Yam in a Bowl</a></b>, I did mention that I had cooked
Sarson Ka Saag this winter. I know summer has set in but I feel it would be a
pity not to post it particularly when the video is ready.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">I love Sarson Ka Saag. Mustard is widely grown in the north
of India and also in the eastern parts of the country. It is not surprising
therefore that mustard oil is the primary cooking medium in Bengal and of
course in the other states located in the east. Bengalis are therefore not
unfamiliar with mustard leaves or <i><b>shorsher shaak</b></i> as we Bengalis call it. The
way Bengalis prepare <i><b>shorsher shaak</b></i> is quite different from the way North
Indians prepare Sarson Ka Saag. I have a vague idea of the way it is prepared,
my mum used to make it quite often.</span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">My mum used to also
cook the leaves the way North Indians do, however she often felt something
was missing, so she sought help from our Punjabi neighbour, this lady informed
my mum that they use <i><b>makai ka atta</b></i> (maize flour) as a thickening agent. She
also gave my mother a tip; she said if <i><b>makai ka atta</b></i> is not handy then it could be substituted with <i><b>besan</b></i>, that is chickpea flour. </span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Method:</span></span></b><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Boil the mustard leaves and the
spinach. Grind them to a paste.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Heat oil, if you are not counting
calories you could use pure ghee (clarified butter) instead of oil or a bit of
both.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Add the chopped onion and fry
till it is a little brown.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Add ginger-garlic paste and stir.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Add turmeric powder, coriander
and cumin mix powder, and green chilli paste and red chilli powder; the red
chilli powder is optional.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Fry the masala well and then add
a little water. Use the water left over from the boiled leaves. Cover and cook
for a while.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Add the paste of spinach and
mustard leaves.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Add salt to taste. Cover and cook.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Meanwhile either dry roast a
small quantity (about a tablespoon) of maize flour (<i><b>makai ka atta</b></i>) or chickpea
flour (<i><b>besan</b></i>). Add a little water to this roasted flour and make a paste, add
this to the mustard leaves.</span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">When you see the water
evaporating and the gravy beginning to thicken, add a little garam masala
powder before switching off the flame.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Pour out in a serving dish and
garnish with thinly sliced tomatoes.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #660000;">My experience with Bengali cuisine has been quite interesting, needless
to mention I am talking about the restaurants serving Bengali food. I wanted to
do a post just on these restaurants but then my experience continues, as we
keep discovering a new Bengali restaurant every other day, for instance, we
recently tasted some delicious Bengali food at Bong Bong in Bandra, Mumbai and
Aadrika at Viman Nagar, Pune. I guess I will have to postpone that post for
the future while my brother Aroop Bose takes you on a journey of Bengali food served
at Bengali restaurants in Bombay during the Bengali New Year. </span></span></div>

restaurants serving Bengali food will present their patrons with special menus
for the occasion. In this article I would like to share our experiences with
regard to the food we ate from two restaurants in the suburbs of Bombay – one
being Oh! Calcutta located in Andheri and the other being Food First in Malad.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #660000;">Let me begin with Food First. This is a multi-cuisine Indian restaurant
which also serves a few Bengali dishes and is located on Swami Vivekananda
Road, Malad West. Every year, in the month of April, a Bengali food festival is
held here for about a week to mark the Bengal New Year. Some of the dishes we
tried in the last two occasions were <b><i>Enchorer Kofta, Mochar Ghonto, Thakurbarir
Pulao, Bhaja Masala Aloor Dum, Bhetkir Paturi, Kochi Panthar Jhol, Murgir Kofta, Chicken Chaap, Patishapta, Shukto, Dhakai Paratha </i>and<i> Radhaballabi. </i></b></span></span></div>

and one could get the real flavour of the vegetable. We tried this dish first
in the year 2013 and then again in 2014, what we ate in 2013 was better. In
2014 the koftas did not bind too well.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #660000;"><b><i>Thakurbarir Pulao</i></b> or pulao prepared in the house of the Tagores had cashew
nut, carrot, fried cauliflower, French bean, potato pieces, baby corn, American
corn and peas. Surprisingly it did not have two basic ingredients that we
usually see in a pulao, those being <b><i>kismis</i></b> (raisins) and <b><i>pista</i></b> (pistachio).
This dish simply did not deliver; we were not impressed at all. As the name
suggests the dish was expected to be a traditional one, a recipe that should
have been about a century old or more; baby corn and American corn should have
no place in a dish like this. There was nothing in the taste. Evidently it was
not a traditional dish but was something invented by the chef, therefore
instead of calling it <i><b>Thakurbarir Pulao </b></i>they should have given it some other
name.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #660000;"><i><b>Bhaja Masala Aloor Dum</b></i> (Bengali version of a <i><b>dum aloo</b></i>)was good in taste but certainly did not taste
Bengali, it was not made in the traditional Bengali style, onions were used in this dish. However, the <b><i>aloor dum</i></b> that I tasted in Calcutta did not have onions.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #660000;"><i><b>Bhetkir Paturi</b></i> or bekti fish wrapped in banana leaf and steamed, was well
prepared and was quite tasty. Actually if the fish is fresh and the spices are
in right proportions you can hardly go wrong with a dish like this. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #660000;"><i><b>Kochi Panthar Jho</b><b>l</b></i> is a traditional gravy dish made from lamb. <b><i>Kochi Pantha</i></b> is lamb in Bengali and <i><b>Jhol</b></i> is gravy; the word <i><b>Kochi</b></i> should not be confused with a city in the state of Kerala which also has the same name. The dish was made in the traditional way; the quality of the meat was very good and the balance of spices was just right making the dish really very tasty; we enjoyed it. We ate this dish both in the year 2013 and 2014. In the 2013 menu <b><i>Panthar</i></b> was spelt as Panther, on noticing this I had to suppress my laughter while a member of the restaurant staff was patiently waiting for my order, surely no one serves panther meat. I think Food First must have realized their mistake and the spelling was changed to <i><b>Panthar </b></i>in 2014.</span></span></div>

thin soupy gravy which tasted good. The fish was prepared in a way that made it
rather rubbery, very rubbery indeed. The first time we tasted this dish at
<a href="http://itistastyma.blogspot.in/2011/03/foodie-jaunts.html">Bijoli Grill at Delhi Haat</a> in New Delhi; we loved it there and were eager to
try it in Bombay. However we did not find the Oh! Calcutta version of the dish
up to the mark.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am back after a long break. Personal matters kept me busy, but now I hope I am able to blog without any such interruptions.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />In the past few posts my recipes were accompanied with videos. Now that I have begun to enjoy this process of making videos, I have decided to continue the practice with my future posts as well.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Winter has come to an end, but before it ended I made it a point to get my brother to shoot videos of me cooking with two winter vegetables, one is <b><i>sarson ka saag</i></b> (mustard leaves) and the other is <b><i>oaler batichorchori</i></b>, a traditional Bengali dish where the principal ingredient is yam which in Bengali is called <i><b>oal</b></i>.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">The <i><b>sarson ka saag</b></i> video ran into some rough weather thanks to some technical glitches which my brother is trying to rectify, however thankfully my brother faced no problems editing the video of the yam dish, so here I am with the recipe of <b><i>oaler batichorchori.</i></b></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i> </i></b><br />I have named this dish Yam in a Bowl because, <i><b>oal</b></i> is yam in Bengali, <i><b>bati</b></i> is a bowl and <i><b>chorchori</b></i> is what the preparation is called in Bengali.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />This is a very simple dish; I really loved eating it every time my mum cooked it. Here I would like to caution you that this is not one of those dishes that anyone can enjoy. There are some dishes which almost anyone and everyone can enjoy irrespective of the region they belong to, but there are some dishes which are cooked with ingredients typical to that region and if you are not used to the taste you may not enjoy it. This dish has to be cooked with mustard oil and if you are not comfortable with mustard oil, then, I guess you will have to drop it.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Below is the video of the dish.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/G140UsHW_oA" width="560"></iframe></span></span><br /><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here is the detailed recipe.<br /> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Ingredients:</b></span></span><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">½ Kg yam</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">One potato (optional)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Approximately 3 tablespoons of mustard oil</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">¼ teaspoon of turmeric powder</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Green chillies </span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Red chilli powder</span></span></li>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Method:</b></span></span><ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Peel and chop the yam into small cubes and soak in water.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Likewise peel and chop the potato and soak it in water. You may or may not add potato, I wanted to increase the quantity therefore I added a potato.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Drain out the water from the yam and potato.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Pour the mustard oil in a vessel and add approximately little more than half a litre of water. When you add a little water to oil, it splutters but when you add plenty of water to oil, you will face no such problem.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Heat the oil and water mixture and then add the yam and potato.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">After it boils, add salt turmeric powder and some chopped green chillies. As I do not eat green chillies I substituted it with some Kashmiri red chilli powder. If you like you may add both.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now cover and cook till the water evaporates and it is done, in case you find that the water has evaporated but the yam is not cooked properly, you can add some warm water to the dish and allow it boil for a while longer. </span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">You can squeeze a bit of lime juice onto the dish, the sourness of the lime gives a tang to the dish and it tastes quite nice.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />This dish goes very with rice but you can have it with <i><b>phulkas</b></i> as well.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">There was a sense of déjà vu for me when I visited <b>Mainland China</b> at Aundh
Pune this time. It took me down memory lane to 1998, when I used to
occasionally do restaurant reviews for Westside Plus a supplement of The Times of
India. Anjan Chatterjee who was known for his advertising agency had just
forayed into the world of food with <b>Only Fish</b>- a restaurant that focused on
fish and <b>Sweet Bengal</b> a sweet shop. Incidentally <b>Only Fish</b> changed to <b>Not Only
Fish</b> and later to <b>Oh! Calcutta.</b> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Soon after <b>Only Fish</b> he launched
the first <b>Mainland China</b> at Saki Naka, a rather congested location in Andheri
East a suburb located in the north west of Bombay. Here, besides the regular
menu, he had introduced an executive lunch for just Rs 175/-. This was a steal,
because he allowed the diners to choose the main dish from the regular menu. I
was therefore thrilled to find a similar offer after so many years in Aundh.
This meal, I noticed, was available only in Aundh and not at their other outlets
in Pune or in Bombay.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">We need to visit Pune very often and our trip is never complete without
at least one lunch at <b>Mainland China</b> in Aundh; <b>Mainland China</b> has a presence in
other parts of Pune as well. During our last trip what caught our attention was
the ‘Unfixed Lunch’ which was available there at that time in addition to the
regular menu; we were curious. Unlike a fixed meal where one does not have a
choice or the choice is very little, the <b>Unfixed Lunch at Mainland China</b> gives
you quite a few items to choose from.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">We were presented with a special Unfixed Lunch menu card and we were
supposed to choose one soup, one main course, one rice or noodle preparation
and one dessert per meal. Apart from the choice of either vegetarian or
non-vegetarian dishes, one could choose from a number of dishes in each
category, especially in the main course which offered a large number of dishes
to choose from. Since we were two we could order separate items for each lunch and
share them, we did just that except for the soup. We ordered lemon coriander
soup, in the main course we ordered fish in black bean sauce and fish in
Chinese parsley sauce, in the staples we ordered simple egg fried rice and wok
tossed Hakka noodles, the dessert comprised date wontons and hot chocolate with
choice of ice creams. What was both surprising and interesting was that, the
quantities served were the same as the regular
à la carte menu, so the amount of food on the table was quite a lot for the two
of us. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">All this time we were unaware of a bigger surprise waiting to unfold.
The server told us, to our utter surprise, that he would also be bringing for
us <b><i>siu mai</i></b> and fresh lime with soda which were complimentary with the Unfixed
Lunch. While we were wondering how to finish what we had ordered, the server
adds to our problem by bringing to the table two more items, but we were
delighted; at Mainland China we normally finish our meal with jasmine tea which
is complimentary, but this time we had to request the server not to bring it because
we just did not know how to fit it in thanks to the sheer quantity of food on
the table.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">The lemon coriander soup was a thick and greenish soup lightly flavoured
with coriander. The fish that was used for the main courses was <b><i>basa</i></b> which
tasted really very good. Of the two main courses one was soya based and the other as the name indicates had parsley. Both dishes were lightly and
subtly flavoured but were distinctly different. The <i><b>siu mai,</b></i> which is basically
a dim-sum or momo with an open top, was stuffed with minced chicken; it was
juicy (that is the only way I can describe it) and full of flavour, it was accompanied
with three kinds of sauces. The right balance of flavours is what always draws
us to Mainland China and we are never ever disappointed; the lovely </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">tradition
of mouth watering flavours continued in this Unfixed Lunch. As for the
desserts, date wontons were wontons with a filling of dates and the hot
chocolate roll was nice and crisp with a chocolaty filling. We had the wantons
with vanilla ice-cream and the chocolate rolls with chocolate ice-cream; both
were just yummy. This was indeed a delightful experience, as delightful as the
buffet we had at Mainland China at Bandra in Bombay, I had <a href="http://itistastyma.blogspot.in/2012/01/foodie-jaunts.html#more">reviewed that buffet</a> way back in January 2012.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Unfixed Lunch cost us a total of Rs. 928.00 including taxes, that works
out to Rs. 464.00 per head which was really a good bargain; had we ordered the
same items from their regular menu card the total amount would have been
more than twice the amount we paid. I wish I could again visit Pune and once again
have the Unfixed Lunch; after all there are other items which are waiting to be
tried. </span></span><br />
