Hello friends!! I have re-entered in my blogging world again. First of all I want to apologize for absconding so suddenly. I was really missing all my reader friends. Actually I went for a long pending and much needed vacation and spent some memorable time in my native. Now Iam back with lots of memories and most importantly loads of various new recipes from my super cook mother and mother in law which I would definitely like to share with all of you in due course of time. Here you go with the first one....
'Lau chingri' means Prawn and bottle gourd is considered to be one great combination among bengalis but this time I came to know from my mother that prawn and Cabbage is an excellent combination. The dish was so delicious that I immediately thought of putting it as my 'come back' post. This dish again is very healthy as it doesn't require any spice.
Ingredients:
250 gms Prawn (Each peeled and cut in two halves)
500 gms Cabbage (Finely chopped)
1 potato (Diced into small cubes)
1 Onion (Chopped)
1 tsp ginger paste
2 Bay leaves
1 tsp Black Cumin (Kala jeera or Kalaunji)
2 tsp. turmeric powder
3 to 4 slitted green chillis
Salt
Sugar
Coriander (finely chopped)
