Spring Paneer Cheese Roll

Image
Spring roll is a popular Chinese delicacy and is a quick recipe for those of you who love cheese snacks and is whole-wheat flat bread filled with mildly spiced paneer (Indian Cheese). It is a delicious appetizer prepared with pastry filled with grated fresh cheese, green pepper, red pepper, tomato, onion and cumin powder. Fresh cheese is known in India as Paneer. But it has a firmer texture than the fresh cheese we know here. Because of its firmness, it can be grated perfectly and does not fall apart. Today I have prepared the recipe for Paneer roll instead of fresh cheese. It is just as delicious. But in another post I will give you the recipe for how to make Paneer at home. Because it is an ingredient that is often used to prepare vegetarian dishes. Another Asian recipe you might say, but now that spring has gone, we had to find a way to make it reappear somewhere. So we might as well have it on our plates. We rolled it up and gave it a little Indian touch with the delicious mi...

Bengali Style Potol Chingri Posto Recipe

Pointed gourd, also called as Potol in Bengali and Telugu and in Hindi as Parwal is one of the commonly found green vegetables in Indian cuisine. Both dry and easy to prepare side dishes are prepared using Potol. In some parts of eastern India, Potol is also used to make sweets. Potol is a natural aphrodisiac that can enhance your sex life as well. In Ayurveda, Potol is used as a medicine to treat colds, fever and throat problems. Of an oblong shape, they have a smooth shiny green skin, sometimes with clearer strips, while the inside is enclosed with a greenish pulp and numerous large seeds. Although sliced as a common ingredient in mixed vegetables, the sweet and light taste of Potol, and especially their irregular texture make it one of the more popular veggies. In addition to the skin that is quite robust, which contrasts with the lack of soft flesh, they have many seeds, varying in shape, similar to dried beans, and do not lose this nice little consistency even after long cooki...

Bengali Bhetki Fish Paturi Recipe

If there is a revolution in Bengali life, it is in the kitchen. At one time, housewives were the great culinary artists. For them, familiar dishes were transformed into new flavors by manipulating spices and ingredients. Bengalis have always had a strong fantasy about their Bhetki Paturi! The love for paturi is not new to Bengalis. Whether vegetarian or non-vegetarian, paturi is as popular with cheese as it is with fish and meat. Especially, paturi made with bhetki fish is one of the favorite dishes of Bengalis. Many people order this dish even when they go to Bengali restaurants. However, if you know the recipe, you can easily make it at home. This dish of mustard, poppy seeds, and coconut butter is a show stopper with hot rice or pulao, everything. Hilsa paturi and Bhetki paturi are the two most popular paturis. Now in the wedding season, Bhetki paturi is a must-have item at the receptions. But the taste like a reception does not come in homemade Bhetki paturi. That is why know ho...

They say that to remember is to live again and with the many photos that I always take my travels, it is for sure that I love to remember and go back to those beautiful plac...
