Potato Spring Rolls – Step by Step Recipe

“I don’t go long without eating. I never starve myself: I grab a healthy snack”- Vanessa Hudgens

Indian food never seems to be short of options for Snacks and short-eats. But like every home, budding cooks want to try out something different. We are a cookery-show inspired home and weekends are the perfect time for experimenting various dishes shown on TV. I’ve always wanted to make those spring rolls similar to that of a restaurant’s but couldn’t get around it so far. But now, I’ve finally made them!

Rui Macher Jhol (Bengali Fish Curry)

Bengalis sure love their fish and fish dishes are one of the main highlights of any Bengali cuisine. This authentic recipe is contributed (tested and tried :-) ) by a friend and a food enthusiast, Diprabhanu Bakshi from Bangalore. For this Fish curry,  ’Rohu‘ fish is used which is a delicacy in Bengal and other regions in Eastern India. It goes well with steamed rice and or Rotis.

The photo is clicked from a mobile camera and doesn’t do full justice to the dish, but Dipra assures us that the fish curry will make you want more with every bite. Try this for lunch or dinner.
