Pan fried small fish, lentil stew and plain rice are the simply satisfying meal that we prefer sometimes. These small bluegills were caught from a local pond. They are very tasty fish. Big ones are great for fish curry. Small ones are perfect for pan frying(no deep frying needed) and lentil stew on the side, savored with plain steamed rice!
Pabo cat fish is a very delicious fresh water fish in West Bengal and and Bangladesh. No matter how you cook it's going to be tasty. This fish curry tempered with nigella seeds, lightly spiced with fresh ginger paste, cumin-coriander powder and infused with kaffir lime leaves from our back yard is simply soul satisfying.
When life gives us delicious berries we eat them just like that and make lemonade. A refreshing lemonade bursting with summer's bounty berries is one the easiest way to cool down on hot days. I used fresh strawberry, blueberry, blackberry and raspberry. It's tangy and sweet. Both the kids and adults love it. It can be made up to two days ahead for big party, cover and refrigerate until served.
Cheesecake is one of the easiest desserts I make anytime of the year. We love regular cheesecake as well as with the addition of seasonal fruits. This smooth and creamy cheesecake with fresh cherry sauce swirled in the center and the top on a gluten free brownie crust is perfect for summer get together.
