Vietnamese Spring Roll

Made Vietnamese Rice paper spring rolls the other day. It was a welcome change after the deep fried Indian version. Loved it.  They look so peaceful too- white and serene. Perfect mood food for those soul searching moments.

The best part of the entire spring-roll experience is how light and happy you feel despite having 10 rolls! 

Go on, roll one!

The quintessential bong meal

Last night, I got to think, how much we eat. Don’t you think this is way too much for one, very regular meal? But my  bong husband doesn’t feel that way. He thinks if I am embarking on a bong meal, it must be complete. Even the meal below is incomplete- there should have been aamer-chatney.

In the photo, and now in the many bulges of my body:

1. Gala Bhaat with rice (Over cooked rice with clarified butter)

2. Doi Maach – jhaal version (Fish in yoghurt)

3. Moong daal-er Dalma (pulses with vegetables)

4. Saag begun aar phoolkopi diye (Spinach with eggplant and cauliflower)

5. Alu-r Bora (Potato patties, pan roasted not deep fried)

6. Lebur Achaar (lemon Pickle)
