Chicken Bharta




A very happy Holi to everyone...The festival of Holi always brings smile on my face...loads of childhood and teenage memories-at home with family, at hostel with friends and now in a far off land....Well today the recipe I am writing about is not related to Holi nevertheless this dish is a popular choice among Indians who love to eat non-vegeterian cuisine. Chicken Bharta always reminds me of my days in Kolkata, back in India... While I was working in a bank in Theatre Road we often use to place order from  Sharma's Dhaba in Ballyguange Circular Road and is my favourite for chicken bharta in the city...

Tofu Malai Curry - Restaurant Style



To start with Tofu malai curry let me give you a quick brief about tofu. Tofu is a food made by coagulating soy juice and then pressing the resulting curds into a soft white block.It is a major component in East Asian and South East Asian cuisine . For the first time I tasted tofu in Shanghai and it taste really good….In Shanghai the availability of tofu is much easier then paneer. Tofu malai curry is a new version of paneer malai curry ….Tofu is containing less calorie intake then paneer. So these days to be more health conscious, people are substituting tofu at times.Try this recipe at home and I am sure you will love this.
