the fourth class of 6.4B, cross-cultural literatures of india, indulges into the various kinds of prerogatives used in writing various kinds of ramayana. this lecture, specifically notes down the tropes used in bengali ramayana written by krittibas. it discusses the ways krittibas uses to transcreatebthe valmiki ramayana, while keeping the bengali audience and their relatability and preferences in mind. he domesticates the concept of valmiki ramayana so that it can be recited/performed easily as performance is a very good way of immortalising a text.

bengal was always rich in literature even during the middle ages(which often get portrayed in the western literary scenes as dark ages). there was enough literary influx and almost no reports of stagnancy. the domestication/indexic reading(changing a component belonging to a certain culture into another component of a specific culture the target audience belongs to, often keeping similarity with the former and keeping the meaning or the signifier-signified relation unaltered) of valmiki ramayana, done by krittibas is as follows:

keeping the rituals and didactic calls for customs unchanged.

dasharath's marriage rituals are bengali rituals in description.

birth of ram and customs and religious rituals of the mortal are maintained even when he's portrayed as a demi-god.

valmiki talks about maryada purushottam regarding ram, krittibas though portrays him as god, does a lot of humanization to him through the bengali cultural lense. the bengali notion of devotion to god comprises of implementations of a sense of endearment/childishness for the said divine entity.

sita's abduction by ravan in krittibas's ramayana has no direct sexual connotations as he considered them vulgar, unfit for the bengali society, the intention of his piece was a clean representation of the epic, to be performed in front of children and elders.

change in bharat's eating menu, as the latter replaces the peacock meat, deer meat with the vegetarian dishes of bengali cusines as the author had a moral compulsion of providing a background of bengali vaishnav culinary practices. he brings the mundane meal every middle class bengali household has everyday, to bring the 'lord' from the pedestal to the same platform inhabuted by the common people.

this lecture explores the functioning of cross-cultural concepts of how to receive, ehat to receive, how much of it can be appropriated/taken or kept intact, or be left alone/omitted. the intentions of the transcreators/authors become prominent in this particular area.

Dalma : ( Mixed Vegetables Lentil Soup) Mixed Vegetable Daal (lentil soup with mixed vegetables) is a very common recipe that Bengalis prepare at home. As I said before, Thursdays has always been exclusively for pure vegetarian (no onion no garlic) cusines in my home kitchen. . Today, I've prepared Dalma. Dalma is a popular Oriyan cuisine. It is also prepared by Bengalis. Dalma is a traditional recipe of Orissa. There is a spiritual essence of Dalma in Odisha. Every day in Puri Jagannath Temple, Dalma is offered to Lord Jagannath as one of the main course cuisine for Bhog (Sacred Food offered to Lord as a ritual of worship)which gets distributed to the devotees and pilgrims as Prasada (Sacred Food). Such is the elegance and austerity of Dalma. It's indeed a simple cuisine with a historically profound spiritual essence. Innumerable vegetables can be added to prepare Dalma. Even, varieties of daal can be mixed together to prepare Dalma, however, I've used only Beulir daal (urad daal). I've added quite a few vegetables which are cut into cubes, like, raw banana, raw papaya, bottle gourd, narrow beans, broad beans, yum, baby raddish, brinjal, pumpkins, pointed gourds, green chilies, finely chopped coriander leaves and grated coconut. Ginger & green chili paste is a must. Dalma is incomplete without dry roasted spices made of cumin seeds, fennel seeds, dry red chilies, cinnamon and cardamom. . Like any other daal, Dalma also have an unique combination of spices for its sambaar . Its sambaar is made of ghee, pinch of asafoetida, paanch phoron, bay leaves and dry red chilies. Tuemeric powder, salt and sugar added to taste. It goes well only with steamed plain rice. . #bengalifood #bengalicuisine #cooking #bengalicooking #homemadefood #homecooking #homecook #homechef #daal #vegan #vegetarian #foodceleb #pleaseshoutout #food #foodfood #foodporn #foodgasm #foodblogger #foodphotography #foodie #instafood #instacooking #instagram #bongconnection #kolkatafoodie #kolkatafoodbloggers #thecalcuttatalkies #kolkatasutrafood #indianfoodbloggers #calcuttacacophony https://www.instagram.com/p/B42GmHaF0Iy/?igshid=1t90ah649hs9z

bread rasmalai recipe | bread ki rasmalai with milkmaid | instant rasmalai with step by step photo and video recipe. basically this is a cheat version of traditional bengali cusine rasamlai recipe which is prepared from chenna and rabdi. the taste of bread rasamlai may not match to the authentic rasamlai recipe, but certainly it is a lot easier and less cumbersome.

Nowadays, restaurant and cafe growth is so rapid here in Kolkata that if you go to a place after about 3 months you are bound to see a new restaurant or cafe there!

Most of us like North Indian Cuisine, especially because of the richness and spicy preparations. On the same line, there are a few speciality restaurants focusing on individual territories as “North India” has many places!

We were recently invited to try out the offerings of one of the renowned in Kolkata: Peerless Inn for their Punjabi Food Festival at Oceanic. So, as the name suggests these guys focus on Punjabi Cuisine and the way they present their dishes are impressive (their taste is even more!) I had a chance to meet with Mr. Jimmy Tangree, Head at 91.9 Friends FM. We used to grow up with Love Songs played by him at Red Fm station in every Friday via “DIL SE WITH JIMMY”. Such a lovely down to earth person. He was just surprised when I asked him for an Autograph. “Me?” Eventually we ended up with a Selfie. He actually came there to cover the Punjabi Food Festival launch.

Oceanic has displayed a very special lineup of authentically Punjabi dishes for this festival. From Mango Lassi and Samosa Sadabahar to Makki Ki Roti and Sarson Ka Saag, the Punjabi menu is available for a limited time only i.e. 31st March to 13th April.

Not every body can live upto the expectations of a Punjabi Dishes and its taste buds. But these guys surpassed our expectations . The food was so so so yummy.

The word “Punjab” is a combination of the Persian words Panj means five & Aab means Water giving literal meaning of “The Land of Five Rivers”.Punjab is also known as “The Granary of India”, the northern state of India is very popular for rich food. Traditional Punjabi food is cooked in Earthen Tandoor known by Clay Oven which lend it a unique aroma.Punjabi cuisine has an immense range of dishes and has become world leader in the field.while talking about Punjabi food one cannot miss the essence of Vaisakhi in Punjabi culture. to celebrate the succulent Punjabi cuisine and Vaisakhi, at Oceanic, the multi cuisine restaurant at The Peerless Inn, Kolkata we are delighted to celebrate THE PUNJABI FOOD FESTIVAL with all pomp and grandeur from 31st March to 13th April.

– PRESS RELEASE

The Dishes We Had : 

Starters :

Paneer Tikka – Paneer tikka has been a mainstay in the rich North Indian cuisine since ages and is a perfect example of a luscious yet healthy dish. House made paneer grilled with fresh exotic spices.

Chicken Tikka – A traditional and very popular Indian Chicken dish which is bursting full of flavor & colour. The word ‘Tikka” means bits, pieces or chunks. Chicken chunks are marinated in special spices & yoghurt and grilled on skewers till it is brown & tender.

Main Course :

Basmati Rice – A simple pot of Basmati rice can defeat even the most experienced cooks, especially when it comes to getting it right. 

Ragda Chana Dal –  I was not a big fan of chana dal during my childhood days and would try to avoid all the possible way but now it’s just opposite I like it much now to my delight. That’s a perfect looking dal don’t think the dal is not mashed, it’s not suppose to be.  Perfect to start with rice.

Vegetable Jhalfreezi – This Jalfrezi is a spicy smoky vegetable preparation with crunchy veggies, tangy cumin spiced tomatoes. A well prepared Jalfrezi  without having any creamy curry.

Malai Kofta – A delicious and rich main dish for any special occasion.  Kofta or Veggie balls are made from shredded paneer that’s been seasoned with fennel, coriander and red pepper flakes for a little kick. A nutty curry sauce of onion, garlic, ginger, cashews, tomato and green chilies complement the savory paneer dumplings in this healthy spin on an Indian classic.

Aloo Barain Curry  –

Gobi Matar –  This curry is traditionally a North Indian sabji. It is a very simple vegetable  dish that you can have with roti or rice. This dish is very light in the food and also gives a feeling of stomach fill up. This is so simple yet delicious dish.

Sarsho Da Saag – Sarson da saag is the favorite dish of winters. This is another gem of a Punjabi dish. Rich in flavor, nutrients and color, reflecting the culture of the region. Green, glorious, gratifying dish. It tastes really nice with Makai Di Roti.  The evergreen vegan combination.

Makai Di Roti – Makki ki Roti is a classic Punjabi corn meal flat bread that is spiced with green chillies and ginger. Famous Punjabi dish needs no introduction. Gosht Nawabi – Mutton sauteed with onions, tomatoes, cooked in creamy gravy. A delicious spicy dish and rich in appearance. Here Mutton is thoroughly cooked and seasoned with Indian spices. I was really ready to give me a royal treat with this mouth watering preparation. The pieces were succulent and tender and it melted in mouth. 

Kukran Shaan-e-Punjab – This dish is a balle balle Punjabi dish. It is yummy and delicious. Chicken is sauteed in onion tomato masala and flavored with aromatic spices and that is what makes this dish is so delicious. The taste is overwhelming and the taste is unforgettable. 

Methi Machhi Masala – Fish cooked in a Methi flavored Curry. It is a mildly spiced fish (Rohu) curry in yogurt gravy and a lot of fresh fenugreek leaves.

Bhutta Ka Pulao – This pulao is loaded with yummy sweet corn kernels, and is undoubtedly a favourite with young and old alike. I liked it very much.  With spices, Basamati rice and beautiful corn kernels, really packs a punch to complete a meal. 

Salan –  Phool Gobi Aur Mirchon Ka Salan is prepared with Cauliflower, Green Chilies and Tamarind Pulp. A vegan dish with warming taste.

Chicken Tawa Pulao – Chicken Tawa pulao is a traditional and classic punjabi dish. It’s a pleasant rice based delicacy which has its own unique and distinctive flavors. Normally the Punjabi dishes are spicy and flavorful. This dish is popularly known as the Kodi pulao which means chicken pulao.  I just loved the flavor ! This is delicious!

Mango Lassi – Mango, the King of Fruits has many followers world over. Punjab is no different. Punjabis love mangoes and have mango-based recipes in almost every course. It is soothing cold drink for hot summer days or to brighten up any meal. This pale drink is a blend of mango and yogurt. Relief after such Gargantuan meal.

Kulfi – Who doesn’t love a creamy Kulfi ? Prepared with milk and flavored with pistachios, almonds and saffron. Loved by people of all ages!

Rasgulla – Perfect beautifully presented Rasgulla. The Bengali twist in Punjabi festival. At the end of the day who does not love Rasgulla ? No Food Festival cant be ended without  Rasgulla in Bengal. These were juicy, spongy and soft.

Gulab Jamun –  Gulab Jamun is easily the most popular and loved dessert in India. Spongy milky balls soaked in rose scented syrup were yummy. 

If you truly want to experience dining like the royal Punjabis, with their lavish spread of extremely heavy yet deliciously indulgent dishes, Oceanic at Peerless Inn is your destination this summer. Of course, make sure you carry a gargantuan appetite.Though, you must not forget to renew your gym membership. I have to really start hitting the gym soon. Do not miss this festival because happiness is the feeling when your stomachs perpetually full with delicious food but you cant resist having one more bite.  We left with happy tummies and could not resist doing a “Balle Balle” .

I moved in to my dorm in London yesterday (22.09.12), its really clean and nice, and my flat mates, the ones i've met so far seem really friendly. After unpacking all my stuff my parents took me out to dinner.

We went to "Cinnamon" on Brick Lane. The restaurant was really full, but they still seated us without a reservation. The staff was very quick in serving us and they didn't mess up any part of the order. The food there is south Asian style, mainly based on Indian and Bengali cuisine. I really enjoyed it. When looking at the menu be careful if it says the words "strong" or "spicy" because it will not be a mild dish. My dad ordered something spicy, and I tasted it and I thought my throat was burning. I ordered garlic naan and the "Lamb Royal" dish. The Lamb Royal had lamb (you don't say? :P) soaked in coconut, mango and cashews. I really enjoyed it. Its very rare for me to finish my whole dish at Asian restaurants due to the abundance of sauce but last night I finished everything because I liked it so much. My dish didn't come with rice but we ordered rice to go with it and I would say that the rice was needed. Overall the meal wasn't expensive either, my dish cost about 10 pound, the rice was 3 pounds, and the naan was about 3 as well. You can choose to drink tap water there for free, but since my parents were paying I took advantage of it, and I ordered two coca-colas.

I really like the Brick Lane area, and I'm really excited to be finally in London.

Aloor Luchi ar tok jhal misti aloor torkari: The usual Sunday morning breakfast ritual of my Home, Luchi and aloo dum. Today I have prepared aloo puris (Bengali style alur luchi) and aloo dum made of ajwain (carom seeds) , curry leaves and dry mango powder (aamchur powder). We Bengalis follow these sort of rituals on Ekadashis also, in other words we have these sort of vegetarian food (no onion no garlic) on Ekadashis as we fast on these days by avoiding foods like rice and nonvegeterian cusines. Aloor luchi (alu puris) are made of grated potatoes mixed with finely chopped green chillies and corriender leaves and mustard oil. Ginger paste and cumin powder can be used, though optional. Salt and sugar to taste. All kneaded well with all purpose flour and made a perfect dough. Puris made out of it are deep fried in olive oil. It tastes crispy and crunchy. These puris are so tasty that it can be served as it is with any chutney or sauce. A side dish is not required always with this puri. . . #bengalifood #bengalicuisine #cooking #bengalicooking #homecooking #foodie #instacooking #instafood #instagram #food #foodfood #foodphotography #foodporn #foodgasm #foodblogger #foodceleb #kolkatafoodbloggers #vegan #kolkatafoodie #shoutout #vegetarian #homemadefood #calcuttacacophony #thecalcuttatalkies #kolkatasutrafood #thekolkatabuzz #thekolkatavibes #bongconnection #sundayvibes #bangalirbangaliana https://www.instagram.com/p/B2s1Jv9l_rl/?igshid=u0432lnc96lg

Ilish Bhapa (Baked Hilsa): Here comes the queen of all fish of Bengal, Ilish Maach or Hilsa. My mother cannot think of any other fish than Hilsa for her Birthday treat. She enjoys my moody nature of cooking. And, she never stops me whenever I am in a good mood to cook. Bhapa Ilish is the best and the most easiest recipe ever possible as far as Bengali cusines are concerned. Hilsa baked in mustard and poppy seeds paste, mustard oil and mustard sauce, coconut milk turmeric powder, green chilies, salt and sugar to taste. No other spice or water is required for this recipe. It tastes little tangy and that is it's speciality. It tastes best with steamed rice. Bengal considers this recipe as their 'Royal Delicacy'. . #bengalicooking #bengalifood #bengalirecipe #bengalicuisine #bongconnection #foodlovers #foodies #foodporn #foodstagram #ilish #hilsa #fish #fishofbengal #queenoffish #lipsmaking #healthyeating #healthyfood #royaldelicacy https://www.instagram.com/p/B0vh5eaFfa8Ng6A5BftBO3HkZfTnfK1GBrwd640/?igshid=158x8cp993nq2
