Yellow mung beans with sweet tender bottle gourd(also known as opo squash) one of Bengali's favorites lentil stew in summer months served with steamed rice. All Bengali lentils/dals are easy to make and requires minimum spices. The wonderful aroma comes from the Bengali whole five spice, bay leaf and dry red chili when tempered in hot oil that makes this lentil curry outrageously flavorful and delicious! It's vegan, grain free and gluten free.

Parshe Macher Jhol/Bengali Spiced Baby Mullet Stew


My blog turned 4 years a couple of weeks back and I am a bit sad that I couldn't post anything at that time. It's difficult to write a post during summer break. But it's better late than never and I am here again to share something simple yet delicious recipe. Macher jhol/Fish stew with plain rice is a great summer meal of fishy goodness for Bongs. This is very light, easy to prepare and only needs few pantry ingredients.
