Shrimp and bottle gourd curry is a very delicious recipes. I cooked this recipe in Assamese style. The basic ingredients of this recipe are bottle gourd  and shrimps. I gave it an Assamese touch by adding  Khar in it.

Now,  what is khar ?

-  khar is an alkali prepared from sun dried skin of some varieties of banana.  It is prepared by filtering the water from the burn ashes of the skin of the banana. It is preserved in bottles and can be used for months. It sounds bizarre but Assamese people are using khar as a cooking ingredient since time immemorial when salt was not discovered. It is believed that khar cleanses the stomach. A traditional Assamese meal begin with khar. It is served with rice.

Lofa xaak which is called Chinese mellow in English is one of the gift of winter.
There are many greens available during winter and lofa xaak is one of the most healthiest leafy vegetable loved by Assamese people. Fish and lofa xaak curry is a very tasty fish curry recipe  that everyone of my family love to eat. As in every other Assamese masor tenga or Assamese fish curry, in this fish curry also,  we need to add a  souring agent  to make the curry sour. We can add bogori (Zizyphus jujuba), yet another winter special fruit of Assam. But in this recipe I added suka xaak or sorrel leaves, again an another special leafy greens of winter season. Serve this fish curry at lunch or dinner with hot steamed rice and enjoy the goodness of winter.

The World  is full of wonderful places from majestic waterfalls to sea beaches , from lost cities to mysterious landmarks.  from skyscrapers to dense forests.

Anguli pitha is a finger shaped recipe made from rice flour.  The Assamese word 'anguli' means fingers and 'pitha' is a type of rice cake. It's an Assamese style recipe that can be served as breakfast(jolpan) or as a snack with the evening cup of tea.

The recipe anguli pitha requires little time to prepare.  As today is Sunday, a holiday, I decided to prepare this recipe for breakfast. It's a very simple and less spicy recipe. This recipe that I am going to share is a salty one but there is one sweeter version of this anguli pitha recipe, which I will share some other day. The type of rice that I am using is called 'lahi chawl' in Assamese which I received from my maternal uncle who is a farmer and he grows rice on his own paddy field. You can use any other type of rice also.  You can also use ready-made rice flour available in the market.  But I preferred to make it myself and therefore I soaked 1 cup of rice on Saturday night to prepare anguli pitha.

This is probably my last blog post of 2019. Only couple of hours left for 2020 while I'm typing this recipe. The whole day I was very busy. From evening onwards I prepared many dishes as a part of year ending celebration. I made only vegetarian food today. Today is tuesday and in India  tuesday is considered as a holy day and therefor many Indians eat vegetarian food on tuesdays. We too eat vegetarian food on tuesdays but we have a different reason for it.  As my father-in-law died on tuesday,  we don't eat non-vegetarian food on tuesdays.

As a part of year ending celebration, I prepared panipuri in the evening followed by mixed chat. 





Then I prepared paneer tikka for starter for the dinner.  For the main course I cooked tawa r…
