Frankly speaking I was so happy with the results of Misthi Doi as I was skeptical to make it because of my previous failed attempts. But guess what, now I know how to make it.
The bhappa aloo were very simple yet delicious and tasted great with luchis.Cholar dal was a so different from my punjabi chana dal .The addition of coconut in the tempering gave it a nutty flavor.
Bengali khichuri is simple and filling one pot meal and can be eaten without any side or curd.The most appreciated dishes were misthi doi and soya chops.
The day I made this meal was sunny but by the time I finished cooking ,all of a sudden it was dark and rainy.The same darkness is displaying in my pics. 🙁
