This recipe is a mix of Thai and Indian flavors. This curry is a family favorite and a part of special meals and Sunday meals . I am not a meat eater but this one meat dish I can eat happily as I know its flavorful, tasty, tender, juicy and above all does not have a strong meat flavorful which generally other lamb cuts have. Try it, its an easy recipe, only the cooking time is longer but once you have put everything to cook you have time to do aple things.

Who does not love a good fish curry, which has delicate flavors of the fish, a balance of spices and condiments but most important is the balance of fish flavors and spices, in which one can taste the fish as well as spices and the spices are used to enhance the fish flavor and not to make the fish taste like a spice! There are many ways a fish curry can be prepared. But close to the heart is a Bengali style fish curry. The marinated fish pieces fried in pungent mustard oil, tempered with nigella seeds (kalo jeera in Bengali), fresh green chili and tomatoes. Simple yet tastes amazing, perfect balance of everything, nothing more : nothing less!

Khichdi is one pot meal. It is very nutritious and wholesome meal. This is a gluten free, almost vegan (skip the ghee and add coconut oil), light on stomach; can be made in a jiff.On a regular day, for a change from regular dahl rice or curry and chapatti, split gram lentil with lots of aromatics and spices was the meal, accompanied by yoghurt, a dollop of ghee, pickle and lizzat papad, blissful and a complete meal. Few auspicious days also had special recipe for khichdi. So, for me khichdi always has been a special meal instead of a boring food for the sick.
