The First Recipe!

Dry Lamb Curry

I'm a big fan of meat, so I thought I'd make my first post a meat dish. To be honest, I prefer beef over mutton, but we didn't have any at home when we were cooking this. However, the mutton can easily be substituted for beef in this recipe, and I'll write a few words about how to do this at the end. 

I've also titled the dish in Bengali, and put down what I think is an appropriate English translation. I don't like labelling dishes as just curries, because in my opinion it doesn't provide enough of a description.

An Introduction

Why I'm blogging...

The notebook I use to record recipes.


I'm leaving the family home for good this time, which means I won't be able to run to my mom whenever I get a craving for one of the many Bangladeshi dishes that I love. Hence my mission this summer is to learn as much as possible from her, so that I can recreate these dishes whenever I want in my own kitchen.
