Gobi Ghee Roast

 Cauliflower ghee roast is an another variant to the paneer ghee roast or the chicken ghee roast, the spice blend is quite fragrant and the cauliflower soak up the spices, this is quite an amazing recipe, the masala is quite moist and goes well with a laccha paratha or a hot roti. A recipe that is quite distinct from the normal gobi masala or aloo gobi sabzi, but the flavours turn out to be as promising as its other dishes. Garnish with onion rings and a lemon wedge and enjoy it as an afternoon lunch with your family.

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. Thank you so much mom for sharing this recipe. Share with your friends and family, leave a like if you enjoyed the video, have a wonderful day !
