Cauliflower is one of my favorite vegetable. Basically it is available fresh in winter season , but nowadays it is like piece of bread. Though cauliflower in winter season taste better than now . Still I love it so much! In Bengal cauliflower can be prepared in various types. One of them is phulkofir dalna or cauliflower with potato curry. Here dalna represents curry . Some famous dalna recipe from my kitchen is like Dhokar dalna ,  Echorer Dalna , Patoler Dalna , Chanar Dalna  .All of these are how tempting ,I cannot explain you. This tasty cauliflower dish will go very nicely with rice as well as chapathi. Anyway it is not taking much more time to cook . But remember you have to fry cauliflower florets finely, otherwise it is not taste good ! Lets try this one at your kitchen ... If you ask about health benefits of cauliflower then I must say it is very good source of phosphorus, manganese, omega-3 fatty acid. It has plenty of vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B6 and folate. ...

Hope you are doing well ! Its too hot weather and stomach is also becoming very choosy I think ! Any spicy rich recipes are not suited for this season . You cannot pass time at kitchen also for long time. So shortcut healthy recipe and simple recipe you should do . I always prefer rice in the summer season. Today I want to share some cool lentils recipe from Bengali kitchen . It is called "laau diye dal". Sometimes we use bottle gourd leaves also to prepare this dal recipe. But here in Bangalore it is not possible to get leaves of bottle gourd so I only use bottle gourd. Very simple recipe and pure vegetarian recipe. It goes very nicely with rice . And take a plate of julienne potato (Jhurjhure aalu bhaja ) or any vegetarian dish like drumstick potato gravy with poppy seeds . You do not require anything then. Lauki Dal - Esho Bosho Aahare

Wishing Shuvo Nabobarsho (Bengali Happy New Year) and Happy Ram Nabami to all my followers and friends . One more wonderful year is ahead ... lets welcome it with amazing dessert from Kerala a beautiful place for tourism. First of all if you talk about Kerala ... You will have in mind loads of coconut trees and tender coconut of course ! And who does not love tender coconut. Then it will be more graceful if you prepare any dessert recipe by using tender coconut. It can be prepared in vegetarian as well as non-vegetarian by using gelatin(derived from animals) instead off china grass . As it is a festive season going on so I tried by using china grass . It is a quick recipe along with very less number of ingredients. But at any cost you should not compromise with taste so I loved it a lot. It is not so much sweet. So in my words this dessert has stolen my heart . So check out dessert recipe here... Tender Coconut Pudding | Kerala Dessert
