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.

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.

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.
