over-cooked rice

If you end up overcooking your rice, quickly transfer the rice into another vessel.
Fill another larger vessel with ice & cold water .Now submerge the rice vessel in the cold ice water .

Easy Indian Fish Curry

Easy Indian Fish Curry 

The recipe is close to the Indian way of cooking fish curry, but made easier .

Most of the fish curry recipes require the fish to be fried separately and then added to the gravy.

Being health conscious & of course time being a constraint sometimes, I have made changes in the original recipe . Also I feel the fish is much softer when it isn't fried.

Adding a little extra tomato helps in camouflaging any fish aroma you wouldn't like ! 


If you want to give it the Bengali touch , use mustard oil, do add a tsp of mustard paste & 1 tsp of coriander powder and that should do the trick !

Quick Tomato Puree

If you don't have a food processor and need to make a tomato puree/ paste.
Try grating the tomato ! Yes it works and its really fast and saves time, 
specially if you want to use 1-2 tomatoes.
