Pulir r Chushir payesh/Riceflour dumplings stuffed with coconut and cooked in sweetened milk

Chushi and Pulir payesh is a very popular dish in Bengal. It is specifically or you can say traditionally made on Makar Shankranti, that is around 14-15 January of any year when the rice is harvested.

It is very simple and easy and believe me it doesn’t need a load of sugar. You can simply replace with jaggery (Gur- specially patali gur)

So let’s start making Chushi and Pulir payesh…in my style 👇👇👇

Type- Sweets

Preparation time- 20-25 minutes

Cooking time- 45-50 minutes

Ingredients:

2 cups rice flour
150 gm grated coconut
1 cup milk+1 cup water
1 cup boiling water (only 1/2 will be required)
1 litre whole milk
3-4 tbs sugar

Procedure:

For the coconut stuffing- In a pan add 150 gm grated coconut and to it add 1 cup milk mixed with 1 cup water
Now the purpose is to cook the coconut and evaporate all the liquid
While cooking the color of the stuffing will change a bit
When the liquid is evaporated and the coconut has turned into a doughy consistency,then take it out and allow to cool
For the riceflour dough- In a pan boil 1 cups of water and keep aside,now in a dry pan add 2 cups of riceflour and mix and add the boiling water little by little to make the dough,we needed around 1/2 cup of the water and now take them out
Now very carefully knead the riceflour dough
Take the dough and wrap it in a wet towel
Now pinch small roundels and flatten with a disc and take 1 tsp of the coconut stuffing and wrap like a dumpling 🥟
This stuffed riceflour dough is called Puli in Bengal
Another version is pinch very small roundels and roll with palm into an elongated tapering shaped thing called Chushi
In this dish you can add either of one or the both
In between start boiling 1 litre of full fat milk
When it is reduced to 2/3rd then add 3 tbs sugar and mix
Now carefully add the chushi and then the puli
The dish will be ready when the milk is reduced to 1/2
Our Chushi and Pulir payesh is ready

Add the milk in a heavy bottom pan
When the first boil comes add the sugar
Whenever you see boil is coming dab it with a laddle and push all the cream sideways
You can see that the milk is reducing and changing its color to a brownish shade
Don’t forget to scrape the sides
Continue this for almost 90 minutes or until you see that the reduced milk has started leaving the bottom of the pan

Muri Ghonto or rice and fish head curry||Authentic Bengali dish goes best with steamed rice (saada bhaat)

Muri means head and Ghonto means mashed, Muri Ghonto is a Bengali delectable dish made with fish head and rice.

Fish head is used preferably of Rohu or Katla. The rice we use is a short grain rice mainly Gobindo Bhog or if you stay outside India you can go for jeera samba or kali jeera rice.

It is a dish which is made mild spicy with some basic spices and potato. It has a aroma from the rice and ghee (clarified butter) and the flavors of the fish. It can be easily savored with steamed rice.

In my childhood days this dish was almost daily on our lunch menu. The sole reason was because as we are Bengalis ,eating fish and rice was our staple. In our shopping list when our father bought other vegetable, while buying fish means buying a whole fish from head to tail. So what to do with the head??? Either make fish and rice Muri Ghonto or machher matha die mooger daal i.e lentil soup with fried fish head.

Roasted Spatchcock Chicken 🍗

As I have mentioned earlier,on 31st night of 2018 I prepared a meal of roast spatchcock chicken and creamy mashed potatoes.I’ve already shared my creamy mashed potato recipe with you and for your convenience I am sharing the link here again.Spatchcock is butterflying the chicken removing the backbone and sternum for a even roasting.Removing the sternum helps to flatten the chicken and by pressing the breastbone makes it easier to grill or roast.For removing the backbone I have used this kitchen shear

You can use the backbone for making chicken broth.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 lbs or 1.5 kg whole chicken skin on
1 cup butter softened

2 tbs cracked blacked peppers
1/2 tbs oregano
1 tbs minced garlic
1 whole lemon 🍋 zest
1 whole lime juice
1 1/2 tbs salt
1 tbs mixture of dried garlic,dried onion,thyme
3 tbs oil

Procedure:

Preheat the oven to 425F
First rule of roasting a chicken is to keep it dry while adding the ingredients
Pat dry the chicken first
Now push your fingers through the skin to make space for filling
In a bowl mix butter,lime juice,lemon zest,garlic,salt,pepper,oregano,mixture of dried garlic,dried onion and thyme
Now take it I spoon and push inside the skin
And press from over the skin
Add the remaining butter all over the chicken
Don’t worry about properly spreading because it will melt all over the chicken otherwise
Now generously sprinkle salt and pepper all over the chicken front and back
Believe me it sounds much but actually it’s not
Salt is the main ingredient that makes the chicken skin so crispy
It will look like this
Put the chicken into the oven for 50 mins and flip half way through for even cooking
Broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes at high temperature for that lovely crispy skin and golden brown color

Allow the chicken to rest for at least 10minutes or if you cut then and there it will dry the chicken.

The chicken was awesome and it was melting in my mouth like butter👌.

Now serve it with some lemon slices and the creamy mashed potatoes
