lets get started

I had and still have an uncheckable liking for "ghar ka simple khana"..by birth I am Bangali,and am proud to be one..though I have traveled a lot across India and have eaten and have tried to learn many of their ghar ka khanas..but I can proudly raise my voice and scream that the simplest and the most delicious ghar ka khana are those of the Bengalis..they are simple to make,easy to digest and have a great variety of tastes..with loads of variety of vegetables,fishes and spices bengali 'Ranna'(bengali for cooking) is something different .

And this recipe is one of the simplest Bengali curry,for those who like eating bong specialties,and for those like many of my friends who have less time to cook..
