Colors of the fall season in my new town 🥰

দেখতে দেখতে প্রায় ৩ মাস হয়ে গেছে এই নতুন শহরে। I miss California, specially the weather there. কিন্তু Midwest-এর কিছু জিনিস আছে যা California তে দেখা যায় না। One of them is the changes in the season. And fall season here in Indiana is so colorful! দুই সপ্তাহ আগেও এই গাছগুলি সব সবুজ পাতায় ভরা ছিল। আস্তে আস্তে ঠান্ডা পরছে আর গাছের পাতার রং বদলে হয়েছে লাল, কমলা, হলুদ, এমনকি বেগুনি!! It’s really breathtaking!

Cooking tips on how to make the perfect mixed veggies (Bangladeshi-style)

কচুর লতি খাই না আজ বহু বছর। গতকালকে বাংলাদেশী দোকানে গিয়ে দেখি ফ্রোজেন কচুর লতি বিক্রি হচ্ছে। ব্যস্, একগাদা লতি কিনে নিয়ে আসলাম। চিংড়ী দিয়ে ভাল মতন কষিয়ে রান্না করলাম সেই কচুর লতি। রান্না শেষ করেই ধুমধাম ছবি তুলে আম্মুকে পাঠালাম দেখানোর জন্য (২ নং ছবি)। জিজ্ঞেস করলাম “বলোতো মা, এইটা কি?” 🙃
আম্মুর ঝটপট উত্তর দিলো “ডাটা চিংড়ী রান্না করসো?” 😳
আমি : “না, এইটা কচুর লতি, কত বছর পর রান্না করলাম”। 😄
আম্মু : “বাহ্, আজকে তো আমিও কচুর লতি রান্না করসি!” 😃
বলেই আমাকে তার লতির ছবি পাঠালো (প্রথম ছবি)।

ছবিটা দেখেই মনটা খুশী হয়ে গেল। হয়তো ব্যাপারটা তেমন কিছুই না, কিন্তু এত হাজার হাজার মাইল দুরে থেকেও আমি আর আম্মু একই খাবার খাচ্ছি, সেটা চিন্তা করেই মনটা খুশী হয়ে গেল।

একেই বলে মনের মিল 🥰 Kumkum Rahman

This chicken biriyani recipe doesn’t require any complicated seasoning and is ready in one hour. It’s non-spicy, yet full of flavor! If you are a beginner in the kitchen and want to try something special this holiday, this recipe can be a great starting point.

Another fish and veggie dinner 🤷🏽‍♀️ Swai is a Vietnamese catfish that has a very neutral flavor and can be prepared any way you like. Unlike most catfish, Swai doesn’t have a “fishy” smell and doesn’t need a lot of seasoning to prepare it. It has a soft fluffy texture, so you need to be a little careful while searing it on a pan. Make sure the pan and oil are hot before you add the fish. I paired this fish with some yummy fingerling potatoes, but any veggies would work well with it!

Have you ever had purple baby broccoli? It was our first time trying it out. It has a mustardy taste, but not the bitterness. I was pleasantly surprised by it and it really went well with this pasta. Check it out 😃
