This summer while I was getting my first tattoo, I had the best fish fry while it was raining in Kolkata right before my appointment and I’ve been missing it and I noticed there was caught in my fridge as well as one can of mango beer as well as unused kasundhi and came this amazing fusion dish! Take me right back!

Student finally upgraded from a dorm hot plate to a real kitchen. I grew up on Indian and traditional Bengali food, and now I try dishes way above my skill level just because I can. No matter how small my paycheck is, I’ll always spend it on good ingredients. Cooking is my love language, and my cat, Alu, fully supports this lifestyle.
