I went to Alaska for a few days. It was cold.

After going viral in March for making scrumptious meals from aid packages, this food blogger in Gaza is now feeding hundreds of kids in Gaza.

Fed my neighbors.

It’s Sunday and I was missing Ma’s cooking as per usual. Made alur torkari with cumin/kala jeera. And chili/salt/haldi. I think Bengalis specialize in making the simplest of dishes that are packed with flavor and happy childhood memories.

“It is the least that we can do.”

Fed the neighbors. Bengali style cabbage curry Air fried tandoor chicken in a cashew yogurt sauce Arhar daal in yogurt

Fed more people. Chicken gyoza with salsa macha, alu curry with onion seeds, pumpkin curry in coconut milk— a primarily vegetarian bunch. Also, please look at the bracelet and ring tysm

Nobel Peace Prize Winner Toshiyuki Mimaki: “I thought the prize would go to those working hard in Gaza… In Gaza bleeding children are being held by their parents. It’s like Japan 80 years ago”. Power of Hiroshima/Nagasaki: 36,000 tons of explosives. Bombs on Gaza: 82,000

One year later—Still remains true. These golden handle pans. And also, don’t kill children, don’t find wars that do. Happy Dusssehra, happy Bijoya Dashami.

Made my own Shahi gorom moshla to add to this lamb Kosha mangsho and it turned out yum— hence so many pictures of this beauty from all angles!

Made a tapioca coconut milk kheer with mangoes for a friend👇🏾

Some days, a chicken kofta curry is what we need when friends travel thousands of miles to see us.

A Darfur refugee farmer settled in San Diego taught me how to make the best shattah. For me, it’s more than the rich color and spicy flavor of this chutney. It’s the friendship that blossomed because I learned so much from Fatima and her family.

This city of mine was a just spectacular.

What a beautiful, beautiful ad!

As most of India celebrates #Diwali, Bengal also turns to the fierce and divine godess Kali. This stunning 1916 photo captures a bahurupi, a traditional folk artist, dressed as Goddess Kali, embodying the spirit of the festival. But who are these bahurupis? A short thread. 1/17

Made a modified garlic rasam with urad dal vadas in it at a friend’s house this week— I think I’ve cooked in all my friends’ kitchens and the best part is to make something that’s close to what I’d make in mine, but using their spices and whatever they have in the fridge👇🏾

Well played, WestJet —well played!

Air fryer roasted (my version of) babganoush w homegrown eggplant and garlic👇🏾
