Dimer Devil (egg croquette) with minced turkey

Special Dimer Devil (egg croquette) with minced turkey filling on a nest of cucumber and onions.  #homemade

Shepherd's pie with an Indian twist

I used minced turkey instead of lamb. Leaner meat and faster cooking time.
Followed the recipe posted here

The twist:
I added bhaja masala to the mashed potatoes and cooked the turkey with minced onions, garlic, ginger, green chilies, sweet corn, and peas.

Fish ball curry

Method:
For gravy

1. Fry the fish balls and keep aside.
2. In a wok, heat mustard oil and whole cardamom, cloves and bay leaves. Add 1 1/2 tsp garlic paste, 1 tsp ginger paste. Saute a little.
3. Then add 1 large tomato puree, cumin powder, turmeric and red chili powder. Add green chilis cut in halves and a pinch of cinnamon powder.
4. Cook well till oil separates.  Add 1/2 cup warm water for gravy if you need to cook it more thoroughly. Serve with steamed rice.

Bengali cholar dal

As a kid, I used to call it Jonmodiner dal (birthday lentil) because Luchi cholar dal was served in one of my birthdays. You can also add kosha mangsho to the team.

1. Soak chola overnight. Rinse well. Pressure cook to soften the lentils.
2. In a wok/kadai add 1 tbsp ghee, add cumin seeds, cardamom, cinnamon, clove , bay leaves and 2 dry red chilies (broken in halves) for tempering. Add coconut flakes. Stir a little.
3. Add the boiled dal, turmeric, salt to taste. Add 1 tsp ginger paste or grated, asafetida, raisins (and dry roasted cashews). Add sugar to taste.
4. Serve warm with luchi or rice and beguni.

3. When the dough is sticky and smooth, use a spatula to spread it evenly on a cake pan that has been buttered and dusted with flour.
