bengali cooking
sure sowmya.
and u r right.this lady has compiled recipes even from the newspapers in one site.
bengali cooking can be predominantly non-veg.but some of the veg dishes too are just out of the world.esp like their dishes with mocha(banana flower)or paturis(veg or meat cooked in pockets of banana leaves)
but being a pedestraian cook i can suggest only some everyday fares that we have liked. these r traditional fares which can have as many variations.u can try masur dal(angithi),aloo posto(sutapa's k)(good for chapati),chanadal(anita pal)(good for both rice and chapati),doi begun,bhindi chorchori(rasoi),spinach wonder(shotorupa online)(my friend made and liked it a lot).
bengali cooking is partial to mustard oil,ground pastes and raduni-panch phorun very little of which shud be used.mustard oil has a slightly distinct taste so maybe u may want to substitute it with regular cooking oil like sunflower(coconut oil i found is unsuitable)see what u prefer and the choice of dish.other than this we like aloor dum and shukto but i refer to my mother's recipe for it.hope u find this site useful.
regards
rain

musur dal
hi sowmya,
glad that u enjoyed the "musur dal".it is said to be the easiest dal to digest.u can relish it with an exotic and elaborate side dish as also with a simple 'aloo bhaja'(potato fry) or curry.i recently enjoyed it with bhargavi's turai simla mirch fry!but to make a light meal for ourselves i like it in combination with 'teto chechki'.very simple dish. i am posting the recipe which i follow,
250 gms sweet pumpkin chopped
125 gms bittergourd chopped
4 green chillies
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
2tbsp mustard oil
salt to taste
heat oil in pan and add mustard seeds.after they splutter add chillies and chopped pumpkin and karela.cook on low heat till the veg.becomes crisp and the water dries up.(it's imp to keep it at low heat.and the veg in the end will have little brown roasted look)
u can try this if u like or even if u try something new from the site do let me know and i can try the same.
cheers for ur perseverance to try out diff.kinds of dishes !!
regards,
rain
