In case you are using the later, slit them partially, else for baby potatoes take the whole ones (with skin), and pressure cook them in salt water.

Golbari'r Kosha Mangsho

Image
For quite sometime we have been coming across various patrons and "well wishers" of a Calcutta mutton joint named Golbari. And the dish in specific mention was Golbari'r Kosha Mangsho. Golbari is actually the round building located at the 5 road crossing at Shyambazar in Kolkata. I am told that the original owners have now transferred the ownership and the place is now known as New Punjab Hotel. Kosha Mangsho loosely translated means a dry mutton dish with excess efforts on maturing part on the pan while cooking. At home we have been contemplating having this dish for quite sometime now.

Food Stories from Burma

During my childhood, I was often told anecdotes about how some of our relatives had migrated from Burma (Rangoon in particular), to Calcutta under difficult circumstances. Closest in that circle was one of my maternal Aunts' husband (mesho) who had migrated with his entire family to Calcutta and started afresh in a small apartment near Calcutta's Gariahat. An excellent gourmet and extremely knowledgeable about food pairing, he was also an extremely interesting story teller. He was the first person who made me aware of Burma. During my school days, came across stories (from teachers) based on characters shuttling between between Rangoon and Calcutta. One of the most significant was that of " Pather Daabi " by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay. And while learning, I came to learn the word " ambidextrous " which was an unique ability of the protagonist, Sabyasachi.  Few months back when an opportunity came up to visit this wonderful country, Burma, (now Myanmar...
