@sarchakra is for my love of food and sharing my favorites with you.
Thank you to all who have started following my blog. You encourage and inspire me everyday.
My first foray into cooking was in my High School years when cooking was all about trying out fancy exotic recipes from magazines with hard-to-get ingredients. The results sometimes were delightful but more often than not, pretty frustrating. It made me think that cooking doesn’t really have to be complicated. Good food is not necessarily food drowned in butter or floating in oil but more about using day to day ingredients easily available in your pantry to create dishes that impress your guests. Also food is for sustenance, not to give you a visit to the doctor, right? So with that said, if you want some fun with food and creativity, you have come to the right place.

Traditionally, this was made with desi gajar, the deep red winter carrots, which are sweeter, denser, and less watery than…
Sobji Dal (Vegetable Mung Dal)
There was a time when I barely noticed meals like this. They felt so ordinary that I simply expected them to appear on the table. They were just part of everyday life. Only later did I realize how much I missed them. Now, I find myself making this dal again and again, especially on days…
Jackfruit Seed Dal (Kathaler Bichir Dal)
Jackfruit seed dal is one of those recipes that says a lot about how Bengali kitchens have always worked – nothing goes to waste if you can help it. Long before ‘zero-waste cooking’ became a hashtag, this was just how things were done. The soft, ripe bulbs of the jackfruit got eaten fresh or made…
