I hate it when I go to the Kitchen for Food and all I find is Ingredients…🤣🤣😅😝😝 Brown lentils, homemade paneer and leftover vegetable poha patties from the ingredients in my kitchen 🙈for a scrumptious burger breakfast. The cheese slice and dijon mustard sauce simply elevated the flavours to another level. Whats cooking in your kitchen? #eatcleantraindirty #burgerlover #wholewheatbakes #vegetarianfood #proteinpackedbreakfast #breakfastdiaries #summersolstice #spicechronicles #blameitonwiny #bhookhlagihaikhanado #mummykamagicchalega #yummyiytummy #kitchenisland #coloursonmyplate #fastbreakkiyakya
I don’t always talk a lot about my mother, I actually spent more time with my grandmother who love of cooking and feeding I have inherited. Mom was actually a phenomenal cook, she does not cook a lot any more. Granted she does not quite subscribe to this business of cooking being therapeutic, she rather considers it a necessary essential. Possibly what is remarkable about my mother is her quiet commitment to excellence. She was an outstanding student pursuing mathematics at a time when women in STEM really was not a thing, maintained a great home, dealt with a crazy daughter, she lucked out with my brother. What I marvel at is her ability to deal with the ebbs of life with fortitude and an amazing strength of character. Here’s to both you Ma and my Dida. #motherhood #mothersday #girl #girlpwer #fortitude #bengali #bengalimother #spicechronicles #spirit #womeninstem #mymom #mymother
I went with some new people to try with some friends to try out a new bakery, at lest new to me. Great croissants, and rich pastries. It was fun to share the stuff a few bites at a time, almost like a tapas meets pastry kind of vibe. #spicechronicles #newbeginings #tryingnewthings #dessert #pastry #newjersey #acrossthebridge
Indo Chinese food holds a special place in our hearts like no other. Met up with my mother and aunt after ages, it is quite a production. I am grateful to my brother for orchestrating. The food from Jackson Heights dubbed a tangra style indo Chinese, might not be Kolkata style but was really good. Of note, is the chili chicken, cauliflower Manchurian and the Hakka noodles. #spicechronicles #family #queens #jacksonheights #bengali #tangra #homestyle #gamilyreunion #nostalgic #goodvibes #sibblinglove #grateful #nyfoodie #nyfoodblogger
Just a tiny bit rushed, but such a beautiful meal with my friend @dfdelbene . The food was good, not great, but a meal is also about company, caring and sometimes just sharing the very simple moments in life. Tried this Michelin rated spot, simple items meatballs, eggplant fries, an elevated chicken cutlet sandwich. All comforting food at its best. #mealswithfriends #simple #simpleflavours #homecooking #michelinstar #michelin #whereinwestchester #westchesterfoodie #spicechronicles #rinkubhattacharyarecomends #simplemeals #eatingwell #intalianfood #meatballs #eggplant #chickencutlet #newrochelle #newrochelleny
Enjoyed a really good meal make that a plant forward meal at Empellon in midtown. I was truly impressed by the vegetarian variety offered by the restaurant. We started with a cabbage salad with a toasted fave bean dressing, very different and then my absolute favorite as it truly blew my mind were maritake mushrooms taco, there was a loan skirt steak offering, but the main course that I savored was a pumpkin seed cappaleletti with a honey nut squash sauce, very fall. And those Brussels Sprouts, I will probably go back to the restaurant just for this. A fun starter included an assorted variety of sauces with various degrees of heat. A fun finish included personal very cute, ice cream sandwiches. #nycdining #spicechronicles #rinkubhattacharyarecomends #modernmexican #moderncuisine #plantforward #maritakimushrooms #mushrooms #mushrooms #tacotuesday #homecooking #eatingfortheinsta #eatingnyc #nycfinedining #goodfood #beautifulcuisines #brusselssprouts #pumpkinseed #hudsonvalley #finediningram #beautifulevenings #daysofourlives #spicechronicles #nyfoodie
Food plus politics, a great interesting event. I recently attended the state of the city address at New Rochelle. The prevent food was just great showcasing, Greek, Indian, Colombian, vegan, Italian and amazing soul food. The cornbread from Sugar Plum really deserved a special mention. An inaugural address by the city’s first woman of color mayor did not disappoint. #dei #spicechronicles #queenofthesound #boysandgirlsclub #newrochelle #tasteofnewrochelle #flavors #flavorsofwestchester #itlalian #italianfood #indian #indianfood #soulfood #cornbread #rinkubhattacharyarecomends #diverseflavors

For me a good frittata is a perfect balance between easy elegance, comfort food and some good stuff all at once. So the combination featured here, is a broccoli cheddar frittata and oven baked crispy potatoes. The combination from @caramangini’s book the The Vegetable Eater. This recipe takes on something simple and offers you lots of different ways to use something very practical like everyday vegetables into a satisfying meal. Cara’s tip is to cook the vegetables properly before adding the eggs. Simple but a very useful idea. I used @melissasproduce red Dutch potato’s for the potatoes. Simple satisfying and well done. #cooking #cookbooks #spicechronicles #cookbooklove #newpost #recipetesting #cookbookreview #eatingwell #brocolli #shallots #springtime #veggiefoodlover #crispy #crispypotatoes #homecooked #glutenfree #newyorkkitchen #springtime #inseason #inseasonnow #simplemeals #simplehomestyle

A rainy evening, my favorite kind! I walked late in Central Park, caught some precocious daffodils. You can see the of slide down. Made some jeera rice to match with kadhi I made yesterday, finishing off with some remnants of coconut shrimp. It’s my Bengali need to have something crisp with soft and comfy. As they say, you can take the woman out of Kolkata but you can’t take Kolkata out of the woman. #spice #spicechronicles #kadhi #kadhipakoda #rainyevening #rainymanhattan #walking #walkingintherain #rainyevening #dinnertonight #dinnerideas #dinnerforone #indianfood #indianhomecooking #easymeals #chickpeaflour #meatlessmeals #bengali #cookbookauthor

Ann Taylor Pittman and Scott Mowbray’s book, “The Global Pantry Cookbook: Transform Your Everyday Cooking with Tahini, Gochujang, Miso and Other Irresistible Ingredients” is one of those really interesting takes on practical flavorful ingredients that most of us adventurous cooks have on hand. Ann and Scott start by offering their global pantry, and even offer recommendations on which of these ingredients are the ones to try. I loved having things like Sambals and information on them shortlisted. For a major carb lover, I love their comforting and creative bowls. I also love the riffs on southern style dishes and those Ghee Basted Hasseltots… I have bookmarked so many of their recipes, - Cold Start Creamy Scrambled Eggs Twith Serrano Ham - Grits with Gouda and Andouille Sausage - Shakshuka with an Indian Accent (essentially the way I love it) - Grilled Pork Satay - Rustic Tomato Galette with Smoky Bacon, Melty Cheese and Sweet Onions Also worth mentioning is the connection with sustainability, something that is always forefront and important in my mind. For today, which is a chilly day in New York, I settled on their A Big-Comfort Buttery Curried Weeknight Casserole, that is comforting and comes across as very Anglo-Indian to me. I used Indian Style Fried Onions, and a little less cream and some smoky black cardamoms for additional flavor.

🌟 Day 8: Nutmeg - A Spice Wrapped in Mystery and Mirth 🌰 As a chef for 20 years, I’ve seen nutmeg work its magic, but did you know this spice once had the world spinning in its orbit? Coveted in the 17th century, nutmeg was a luxury, driving European explorers to distant lands. Now, for the amusing part - nutmeg, in generous doses, can turn a simple pie into a psychedelic experience due to myristicin! A chef’s word of caution: a pinch adds flavor, but a spoonful might add… unexpected adventures! This aromatic wonder, whether in your latte or aromatherapy, always brings a dash of history and a sprinkle of mystery to the table. #NutmegNarratives #spicytales #culinarytwist #historicflavors #MyristicinMystery #gourmetlaughs #aromaticadventure #spicechronicles #kitchencapers #flavorfulfun
