Many of my friends ask: Why do you write about food? My answer to them is simple - I cook or I blog about food as eating has always been my most reliable way of understanding the world!. Reveling in a delightful morsel of rice or well made bread gives me immense happiness and it restores a sense of familiarity. And I truly love that feeling. Today's post is about my experience tasting a myriad of dishes made as a part of tasting event for Bengali Food Festival at Trident, Hyderabad. This is my first time experiencing the cuisine in such close quarters. Being a vegetarian, read on to know more on what I got to taste from a land popular for Maach (fish) and Bhaat (rice)!
A man of character finds a special attractiveness in difficulty. Since it is only by coming to grips with difficulty, that he can realize his potentialities.

Let me share a small story with u all...
A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared and he watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.
Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it could go no further. So, the man decided to help the butterfly. So, he snipped off the remaining bit of cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily.
But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man expected that the wings would enlarge and expand to support the body, which would contract in time, but neither happened. Instead the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never flew.
What the man, in his kindness and haste, didn't understand was that the restricting cocoon was God's way of forcing fluid from the butterfly's body into its wings so that it would fly once free from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need. If God allowed us to go through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong and could never fly!! Isn't it..
...now coming to the recipe...You all know that Dee has sent me Koora podi as a part of Arusuvai goodies and I had this recipe from Nupur's blog bookmarked for a while now!.. I thought this is the best time to entertain myself.. with some Aloo Posto...;)
