Aloo Tikki Sandwich

Potato tikki sandwich is what a quick evening snack would be. Simple to make, yet flavorful on the palate. If you want to opt for the healthier version swap the white bread to multigrain brown bread, and you can add beetroots and lettuce too. The tikki is quite flavorsome and the two sauces balance the sandwich altogether. Bringing in the freshness of the tomatoes, cucumber and onions.

Perfect for a quick breakfast, and easy to make.

Yellow Fish Curry

This fish curry is my mother's recipe, and it is quite different from the normal mustard fish or "shorshe maach". The use of Bori (dried lentil dumplings) is traditional and it gives a wonderful texture to the curry. The flavour of mustard enhances with time as it cooks along with the fish. We have used Rohu, you can also use Hilsa or Katla for this recipe. It is recommended that the fish cuts from a bigger fish is used, the flavours would be more enhancing, my mother cooks this recipe quite often and every time she cooks, the flavour, the texture remains amazing.
