Chanar Dalna is one of favorite recipe.I think you are not getting properly that what is Chana? Here Chana means nothing the homemade paneer only. How you are making paneer at home that is exactly. In previous Bengal we did not have  chances to buy paneer/cottage cheese from market. So homemade chana/paneer was the only way to make this traditional dish.Still there is tradition to have this delicacy in some auspicious occasions in Bengal. But it is almost different from the market bought , looks wise , taste wise too. Healthy and tasty combination of vegetarian recipe which you ever get in one recipe. So try this tempting dish . As per nutritional value homemade paneer is more beneficial than market bought as it is more hygienic too. It is good source of Protein,Vitamin B12, Calcium and Vitamin D too.

One more traditional Bengali recipe which was missing in my cooking blog. A typical famous Bengali dish which is very common in each of our Bengali house as the season is summer. Why season ? Nothing actually , bottle gourd vegetable is like a very cool one in summer season, so it is very perfect recipe for the summer season. This recipe represents simple, light and healthy too. If you are serving a traditional thali for bengali then you can choose it with typical Bengali moong dal and fishes which you like. And you will rock for the dish. And I believe sometimes eating light is also healthy too. By the way it is very simple and easy recipe too. if you ask about nutritional value of bottle gourd then it has enough source of vitamin C and Zinc. Cholesterol and Fat free vegetable it is actually. Good source of Calcium. So try this recipe and serve with plain rice and dal.

Can not share more and more recipes with you as I did earlier.Cannot communicate with you too. I miss those days. Still trying to get involve with my lovely work , with my happiness. Anyway, here I am again with another snack recipe which is called Poha basically but in Bengal we call it Chirer Polau. Chire means rice flakes and Polau/Pulao means a mixture with vegetables and masala. But sill it is a light snack which is healthy too. My recipe represents the Bengali version with little change. I hope if you follow my way you will love it. So try once as I prepare. Its very simple. I added vegetables whatever I had in my pantry. So you have also a choice about vegetables. To some extent its nutrition value is higher too. Rice flakes carries a large amount of calcium,carbohydrates, and protein. It has good quantity of iron. So it can prevent iron deficiency. And
