During winter at local markets, one may find plump big green chillies, which goes perfectly for the Mirchi Pakoda. De-seeded chillies stuffed with potato filling and spices are deep-fried with a thin batter coating. It is my all-time winter favourite savoury.

Baked Nolen Patishapta is one of the most popular Bengali sweets or desserts. Every Bengali home in West Bengal and Bangladesh celebrates the winter festival called Makar Sankranti or Poush Parbon festival. Also known as pithe, it is baked roll-shaped rice flour and semolina crepe stuffed with khoya (kheer) and topped with a thick mix of reduced milk and sweet date palm jaggery (nolen gur).

Halwa Kachori is a lesser-known breakfast in Kolkata than kachori and cholar daal. A kachori is a mini bite-sized dough made of flour and ghee stuffed with a lentil mixture and deep-fried until crisp. Combine this salty savoury with mild sweet semolina dessert mixed sugar, ghee, and a dash of cardamom powder. Halwa Kachori gets sold out the very early morning that I had to leverage my relationship with the shop owner to keep aside for me. Aside from this, my weakness towards kalakand is a known fact. Kalakand here is soft set sweet, unlike those tougher versions. It is known as Indian sweet cake – moist, mildly sweet and the hallmark grainy texture.

Happy New Year, guys. Another year of wearing masks. 😉 Do not take it off.

Another year went by. It was a typical year for us, nothing exciting yet not a mood dampener. Lucky to be healthy and happy when so much is going around. Kids are more mature and self-dependent. It is an experience watching them grow. I am excited to see what life holds for us next year.

I am wishing a Merry Christmas to all my friends and families. Keep yourself warm in the best way you can 😉. Darjeeling is crowded, and getting a seat at Glenarys @glenarys for Christmas lunch is a stroke of luck. Celebrating Christmas at a sweet corner among the hustle and bustle.
