PEPPER CHICKEN
When you craze for black, you need a black dress, smokey black eyes, black shoes...etc. and even you end up watching the movie "BLACK". This is ultimate craziness. And when I craze of black I end up cooking Black Chicken. 
So, I went home and asked my mom to cook me black chicken. She replied"Dhong koris na, Chicken abar black, white, red...joto sob. Nijer ta nije koro parbo na ato. Black korar rong kothai pabo? Rong dewa khabar kheye tor sorir kharap hoy. Sara jibon Chicken kosha, Chilly Chicken, Chicken Manchurian kheye boro holam akhun maye ase bole chicken e rong dite. Parbo na ja" (Don't bug me. I have never heard chicken to be black, white, red blah blah blah. You wanna eat, cook it yourself. From where should I purchase black color from? Colors are bad for health. I have tasted Chicken Kosha, Chicken Manchurian, Chilly Chicken... and now you ask me to cook black chicken. I can't.)
I listened to her in a dull face and replied, "Mom cool down, it's very easy. Add pepper to it and black chicken is ready"
Huh....Pepper Chicken. So, let's start.

CHOCO JHURJHURA

CHOCO JHURJURA Sweet is a craving that is never satisfied. And if it's a fusion of 'Sandesh' and 'Chocolate', no one can just have one. Children love chocolate and sweets. But do you think that they get the complete nutrition through sweets that are sold in shops?  In daily news, you can see what we feed our family is poisonous. Our children get affected by such harmful chemicals which are used to make 'Chena', milk etc. I always prefer home-made healthy recipes. In my former recipes, you have seen that I always keep the nutrition fact in mind.  So, let's check out the nutrition fact: Khoya: Good source of Vitamin A Rich in carbohydrates and magnesium Absorbs calcium which is good for teeth. Prevents cancer Home-made Chena: Rich in calcium which is good for bones Contains Vitamin A & C Good for heart Rich in protein Rich in folate which is good for the fetal development of expecting mothers Tried a smal...

MUTTON WITH PAPAYA Hi friends!!! How are you all doing? Many of you have asked me to provide a different recipe with Mutton. So, I came up with an idea of mixing vegetables with mutton. Those who are allergic to papaya, do try this recipe and you will love the dish. In today's world, moms find it difficult to feed their children vegetables. Dear moms, please try this out and your children won't even understand that there is papaya in the dish. Yummm!!!! We, Bengalis have mutton on almost all occasions, but my family has mutton on almost all Sundays. My dad is a diabetic patient and he must skip mutton but after all " Bangali toh, kheye morbo ". Mum gets irritated scolding my dad but of no use. So, I asked my mom why don't you add veggies to Mutton. We then experimented this dish and it came out really good. Dad couldn't even figure out the trick. You can try out with some other veggies too like cucumber, gourd, pumpkin etc. Benefits of Papaya w...

SHUKTONI Shukto or Shuktoni is a very healthy starter for our daily lifestyle. Shukto is popularly know as Shuktoni in Opar Bangla, Bangladesh.  It is a Portuguese dish which was later adopted by Bengalis. My granny used to say that when the Portuguese were ruling India, they used to cook a similar dish using local ingredients. Bengalies customized it by adding ghee, milk to it. We all hate having bitter gourd or neem leaves, here, Shukto comes as a saviour . It is a mixture of vegetables along with bitter gourd or neem.  I love having Shukto because it works as a cooling agent in hot humid climate. It helps in food digestion. It is absolutely a mixture of vegetables, bitterness, sweetness and a creamy flavour . Those who hate vegetables try Shuktoni at least once in your life and your perception will change. Eat plenty of vegetables and less animal protein. Try to grow veggies in your own garden. A kitchen garden can make your body free from ...
