SONAKHORKE CHOCHORI


Chochori is a very common dish in Bengali family. We eat various Chochoris almost every day. Sonakhorke machh is rarely found in the market. Yesterday, I went to the fish market and found a very little amount of Sonakhorke machh there. Bought it. Tried a basic dish using Sonakhorke. 

The more you eat chuno machh (small fish) the more nutrition you gain. Small fish, big nutrition value.

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.

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.

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 ...
