In every culture and State in India there is a different recipe of Egg Curry!I had posted Chettinad Egg Curry some time back.Here is the Bengali version of the same.”Dim” pronounced “deem” is the Brngali term for eggs.Kosha is a type of curry!Instead of the Chettinad Masala there is the Bengali Panchphoron powder here which is actually a mixture of 5 spices in equal proportion : Fenugreek Seeds (Methi) Nigella Sativa (Kalonji) Mustard Seeds – black (Rai) Fennel Seeds (Saunf) Cumin Seeds (Jeera) Given by Sandeepa Mukherjee Dutta in her wonderful book – Bong Mom’s Cookbook! This recipe serves 2 – 3 depending on the eggs a person can eat.In my family this recipe serves 2 people as I prepare 2 eggs per person and later on the demand is always for one extra so I actually boil 5!However the curry suits 4 or 5 eggs perfectly so make more if you plan to make a larger quantity!

I am a passionate foodie who loves to cook, serve and love to see people relishing my creations. Since the time I was small I used to wonder about the 'how' of things in the kitchen.

Then when I finally ventured as an unprofessional kitchen helper for my late grand-mother (a par excellent cook in her own generation) I was fascinated by the amount of stuff you could do to a simple milk and rice to form a most yummy pudding.

Here I am sharing my recipes with a will to learn from some and educate others as well!
