Each region uses some different spices for their kadhi preparations. Still its similar. Some people like to add curry leaves,some wont.

Kancha Peper Ghanto another Bengali recipe which is very healthy and tasty too. In case of ghanto (Dry Curry) preparation,there are so much variations. Earlier I said some people love to add little garam masala in ghanto and some people like to add coriander leaves. This time i prepared it by using garam masala to ghanto,as raw papaya has a strong aroma. To suppress that smell garam masala and pure ghee helps a lot. And it gives another royal flavor to the dish also. This is a pure side dish with plain rice and dal. At the same time this preparation takes very little time to cook and with a few ingredients its really easy to make.  About the nutritional value, raw papaya is a good source of Vitamin C,Vitamin C and folate. It is very low in cholesterol and sodium. And a good dietary fiber. But who have sugar problem,for them it should avoid, as maximum calorie for this food comes from sugar only. peper ghanto Recipe by : Nabanita Das Preparation Time : 15 mins Cooking...

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.
