Chinnis Corner: Cricket Bajji Time

-
Its that time of the week when you just want to unwind, spend time with the family, do all those things that you would normally not to do during the course of the week. I for instance would love to shop for veggies, wash them, chop them for further processing and maybe indulge in a few movies. Its around Tea Time in India, when I would love to have that evening snack with my hot cup of tea. So Today the wife decided that it will be Bajji for a snack. I Thought that its been a while since I did a food blog and so this quick one for a Saturday and here is the recipe:

Take Gram Dal, Garam Masala Powder, Red Chilly Powder, and Turmeric Powder in a Vessel. Mix all the ingredients well.



In a separate vessel have chopped vegetables kept aside. You can use a variety of vegetables like Capsicum, Onion, Potato or Brinjal, as per your choice.



Now mix the Gram Dal and other ingredients in water till you get a paste like consistency. Its important to note here not to add too much of water as it can get very liquidy. Add Salt to taste. Now add the vegetables one by one in the Gram Dal Paste.




Now Heat Oil in a Pan and Add the Pasted Vegetables one by one to the heated oil. Allow to fry in Oil till the Bajji turns Crispy. Turn the sides so that they are evenly fried.


Serve Hot, with some nice green chutney or ketchup. Don't worry about the extra calories gained. you can make it up with a nice diet plan from Monday to Friday. Wishing you all a Happy Weekend. :) With the Cricket season on you will enjoy this recipe even more and so the name Cricket Bajji

A Letter from a DieHard Fan of BigB to Shoojit Sircar

Dear Shoojit Da, At the outset let me state categorically that I am a Huge Big B Fan but after seeing Pink and Piku I must admit that I have become your fan as well. I have no qualms to state that I am a Indian by birth and a Bengali by heart. I have spent all my childhood days in Kolkata, studied in Don Bosco, Park Circus and so you can call me Kolkataar Chelay. The reason for writing to you is actually based on your tribute to Big B in your Article in TOI. I wholeheartedly endorse each word that you have written. You have worked with the legend and therefore there is authority in each word, and as factual as it can get. In my early formation years I have been much enamoured by him. I tried to walk and talk like him. In fact I have broken my throat hoarse multiple times just to get closer to that baritone voice of his. Thanks to Dr. Ghosh and his throat relievers I could get back to my own voice. Dr. Ghosh on seeing me itself would state " Kee Karthik Aabar Tomaar Omita

It is special and very special in a particular quote that belongs to me. I have a certain birthright licence over it. The quote goes as follows: "I am an Indian by Birth, a Tamilian by Heart but a Bengali by Blood" This is very profound in the sense that I had spent all my childhood days at Kolkata. I have been blessed to have witnessed the diversity of our Indian culture even as a child.  Now back to my Kolkata days, There is a love story brewing a very special relationship between me and my father's Vespa WBN-8251. You got it right, it was my dads scooter that took me around the different lanes and by lanes of Kolkata during the Puja season. I would stand in front, hold the handle in from and vroooooom we would be off on a joy ride in the city of joy. As a child this interim period between Mahalaya was extremely joyous to me for two reasons and that sort of forms the crux of the entire story today.  There is the rich Tradition in Tamil Nadu to celebrate th

  Mango Diaries continues to evolve and surprise me with its sweetness and ability to charm its audience. I guess more than anything its the positive intent and inspirational real life stories that causes that bell to ring. Anyways in this edition of Mango Diaries, I seek to focus on how I managed to steer this negative mind of mind to something very positive and cheerful. It goes back to the times of Covid-1st Wave, initially the dark times accompanied by an eerie stone like silence and nothing but the shrill and occasional sound of the passing Ambulance could be heard. It was at the same time I had also lost my beloved father. Barely had i consigned my fathers mortal remains to the flames, within the next few days, I found myself in the ICU ward of a Hospital battling Covid myself. Such tough times, no one was allowed to visit me, surrounded by other patients, it was extremely depressing. It had come to an extent where I even contemplated running away from the hospital but guess I ha
