Pabda r Tel Jhal | Pabda Macher Jhal | Pabo Catfish Curry (Bengali Style)

As I promised , I will share one more delicious finger licking Pabda recipe. So i am here with this tempting fish curry. Pabda is my one of the favourite fish . In my childhood when my mother was cooking this amazing fish curry i was stunned over its taste. Its so fantastic in taste and color,you cannot believe. Basically small pabda are more tasty than the bigger one, try to buy much whiter also. And if it is from Ganges,then no way! In pune its not possible to get the river fishes , so cook whatever is available in market. This fish curry will be little rich in color and taste.Little hot and flavorful . But easy to cook and goes very well with plain warm rice.

About nutritional talk, Pabda fish is little calorie oriented fish, it is a combination of full of carbohydrates, and protein . Who have cholesterol problem,try to avoid this fish too.

Awadhi Paneer Masala | Lucknow Paneer Masala

Whenever I am thinking for some special cuisine at my home, it has to be really a special dish for me. No any common dishes I would not prefer to follow absolutely. So Some state or region has its own culture for their cuisines.

Same to same Awadhi cuisine or Lucknow cuisine has their own specialty too. In maximum cases they are cooking in Dum Puckt style foods means cooking will be done in a big hundi with a lid including all the spices but in low flame. But think as Mughal culture and Lucknow culture are more or less same in their cooking style. Still it has to be some differentiation in some cases.
