Chicken Kasha

This is the same recipe as Mutton Kosha but with  slight variations. When I made it last for 15 people, I was at it for 2.5 to 3 hours. Really, chicken, that long. Well if you have in mind the texture and color of the chicken, how oil has separated and the richness of the base spices you got to wait. Don’t rush it thinking chicken cooks fast. Of course it does, but for this dish you gotta keep going

Bengali Khichdi

This is soul food for us from the eastern part of India and a common dish made at home and during festivals.

Birthday Spread

So here is the spread for my Son’s birthday. I made all the Non-Veg and my wife made all the veg dishes. Experimented with the Hung curd dip and veg shami kabab. We had around 20 guests so cooking time was more due to the quantity and this was not an iflashcook episode.

Mangso Kosha Fusion

Here is my favorite – Mangso Kosha fusion and the 10 rules that I follow without fail. This is an elaborate recipe and requires patience. I have cooked this for 3 hours and the same recipe within an hour as well depending on use of a pressure cooker to cook the meat or am open pan. Have had excellent results in both cases.
