I have said this before. A spoon (or more ) of chutney after meals is a must in all traditional Bengali meals. Known to have a sweet tooth, it is not limited to just desserts – the meal must end in a sweet note too. Which is really nice & fulfilling I would say. That craving for a dessert is eliminated, that hunt around the house for a broken piece of chocolate is longer a compulsion.
I am encountering a block today, and have been sitting here for quite sometime not knowing how to start this post. The weather has been pretty bad, the children have been given a day off at school. With all the noise they are making inside, and the ice storm and frost outside my poor brain froze too.
I did update the “About” page, now that my entire family has slowly got involved 🙂 Other than that, I really could not have been able to think at all today. So lets go straight to what we are here for.
A peek in out kitchen today… this is what we cooked:
Shrikhand is a delightful Indian sweet dish (esp. In the Western Region of India) made with strained creamy yogurt, often with fruit pulps or pieces of fruits added to it. Saffron, Cardamom & Sugar are used to enhance the taste & flavor. It is very easy to make, with very little ingredients, most of which one would always have at home. Here is some information from Wiki…
My Daughter has a love affair with Shrimp. I have too, but her intensity far surpasses mine. She is the reason I am always trying out different things with Shrimp. I happen to grill shrimps quite often, and this Satay Shrimp had been a pleasure every time. How nice does it feel, when you see that twinkling eyes shine so bright when she comes back from school & asks, “Whats for dinner, Mama?” & I kid around with her saying all the things that she does not like… see her groan & whine, and then I say… “It’s Shrimp Day for you!” , I say… It is a special treat for her every single time.
So when I saw “Satay”, for Hay Hay it’s Donna Day, I knew I had to share this recipe.
