Hello lovely foodies! Hope you all are doing very well in this festive season! How was your Raksha Bandhan celebration? Any special dish have you made for your brother? I will share in my next post, what I had made for my brothers!

Today is the Birthday of Lord Krishna! Last year, I shared a special recipe from Bengal. But, this year, I want to share a special recipe, what I have learnt from my mom-in-law! This year, I’m going to make “Kalar Bara” not “Taler Bara” for my Gopala in ‘Janmashtami’! Have a look to the recipe; and try it now for your Nanda Lala! It’s so simple!
