New Delhi, April 15 (IANS) Bengali cinema's National Award winning actress Indrani Halder is going seriously mainstream with Sony TV's new soap 'Sujata' but doesn't want anything to do with commercial films.
Gujaratis are famous for a sweet tooth, and though I grew up in a house that had racks of jars loaded with homemade sweets, I had an extra affinity for Bengali sweets like Rasgulla, Rasmalai and Sandesh, just because they have a juicy and rich texture made of ricotta cheese and khoya, and combined with "ras", made with either sugar syrup or milk, these delicious indian sweets never fail to impress! "Rasogullas", as they are called in West bengal, are favorites with not just the locals, people around the country love them. They have a fake reputation of being hard to make at home.

From all the recipes that I finally collected and decided that I could do, I selected those that were comfortably within out domain. Yeah we got to experiment, but then when its the dinner for the entire family involved, we can't take chances of it not being liked.And I must say, the bongs have so much liking to Posto, that its surprising!We, of course use the poppy seeds mostly for our non-veg items, so imagine that gets itself into veggie! Well since I don't' eat meat, poppy seeds are not very close to my taste buds, that is, being quite sometime. So digging into something with loads of that was an attack on the senses.Having decided that its going to have all those poran, wen
Ok, I have been scouring web sites like mad to get the perfect bangali recipes that I will be able to make and at the same time, my folks will eat. Athamma is game for anything, but hubby dear on the other hand, will not touch anything that's sweet. So having all these in mind, I asked the google God, show me bengali recipes!. Well google being google, brought me many sites, of course, most of the top listed ones, I already have bookmarked because of RCI. But still it was interested to check them out again. After going through few, I decided I will opt for the common vegetable, as it might be easy to get family eat them.I squared on Alur Dom, this sounded very much like my own Dum Aloo, but with certain variations. Clicking few random links, I found myself, where you know? At our host's pl
