  11. Dear babali
    I think I will try this in my stupid kitchen in Milano..I tried , Masur dal onion khichdi and lot of ghee...
    It is very close to a bong Khichdi...where a roasted Mung dal is also used with garam masla jeera seasoning...what is your bong connection ?
    Have a nice sunday

  15. Dear babli
    LOL, after getting your note on my blog, suddenly I saw your name on the post..I sd have seen it long before..I always thought you were from north and once in a while when I saw bengali recipe I used to think you must have learnt from othe bongs, when I saw the khichudi, a typical kacha mung dal one, I was guessing you must have been close to bong community, thats why that Bong connection question...
