Stinking Catfish Curry / Shingi / Tangra Maacher Patla Jhol

Its been six months since I have started my blog.  And thanks to all my readers for a fairly encouraging response but the discouraging part is that my eye specialist have warned me not to spend time on laptops , mobiles and television sets for more than half an hour at a stretch. For the last two months I was under complete medication , and now a little relief to my eyes; hopefully I do not have to undergo any surgery right now but that only time will say.So this is reason for not having been able to make any update on my blog for the last two months and also from now on will not be able to make updates on a regular basis. SORRY and also hoping that you will understand my situation.

Coming back to today's post , will show you the recipe of Tangra maccher patla jhol/ Catfish curry . To make this simple recipe all you need is :

preparation time : 5 mins
cooking time : 25 mins
servings : 4

catfish : 300gms
black onion seeds/ nigella : 1 teaspoon
onion : 2 medium
potato : 2 medium
green chilli : as per taste
turmeric powder : 1 teaspoon
red chilli powder : 1 teaspoon
a handful of coriander leaves
dry red chilli : 1
oil : 2 tablespoons
water : 2 cups
salt to taste


preparation :

1. Heat oil in a kadai / pan



2. once oil is hot , add nigella seeds/ kalon jeera and dried red chilli, let them splutter. Then quickly add green chilli , onion and salt.



3. At this stage , add potato , red chilli powder and turmeric powder. Mix well.



4. Add water and bring it to boil.



5. Carefully slide the fish pieces into it.



6. Finally , garnish with coriander leaves.



7. Serve with piping hot rice.

P.S. : Marinate fish with turmeric powder , red chilli powder and a pinch of salt. Fry the fish pieces carefully and keep aside before finally adding them into the curry. But you may totally ignore this step if you like a raw smell.

Bake A Cake : Simple & Easy Baking

Ciao all my readers, Now when I am jotting down my today's recipe in my blog , there is a thunderstorm happening outside ; scaring the hell out of me. This thunderstorm made me remind of all those thunderstorms that I spent cuddling in my moms arms , making me feel so calm and quiet even when it was clash of blastering sounds outside. She would ensure that I was settled and not panicking anymore , only then would she go to the kitchen and come back with a mug of coffee and her homemade cake. Let me tell you she bakes some amazing  cakes. And what could be better than some serious rain happening outside and mom & me chatting  with hot coffee in our hands and those heavenly cakes melting down our throats.We continued this way until  I got married. But I never cared to learn from her ( as in baking and cooking ) , I was not at all girly that way , I was much into sports; kind of a tomboy. Again I thought mom would always be there by my side so whats the need to learn ...

Sorry Everybody !!! My fashion posts took a backseat as i got so engrossed updating my travel and recipe posts. I am so sorry for that. but then as it always goes " its never too late than never ". So as i promised to tag my husband this time and help me in carrying my shopping bags ( hope he never comes across this post ). But jokes apart, today i am going to explore colaba causeway. Colaba causeway , also known as Shahid Bhagat Singh road is a commercial street. Colaba causeway is very close to mumbai's gateway of india and taj mahal palace & tower. Its one of mumbai's popular place for street shopping. ( and my personal favourite ). Here you will find shops ranging from footwear, ethnic jewellery, apparels , antiques.

Since it was a holiday and we woke up late in t...
