Welcome to the World of Indian Muslim Cuisine
 

This Website is dedicated to my mother, Mrs. Monira Begum. All recipes belong to her.

 

There's her picture on the left with my nephew. If you like the recipes say hi to her if you see her on the road. My mom comes from Murshidabad, and she is famous for using very little oil and spices in her food, yet cooking up super tasty delicacies. You won't find greasy, spicy, artery clogging, heart busting recipes here.

 

If you are in Kolkata and are a girl/woman, you can join up for one of her cooking classes at Y.W.C.A. (S N Banerjee branch). Don't worry you don't have to be a Christian, you don't even have to be young for that matter.

 

Feel free to try these out. 

 

If after trying these recipes, it doesn't taste good, it means you are truly a horrible horrible cook. You should immediately refrain from any further culinary misadventures. Maybe you have other talents (like snoring really loud or downloading pirated movies, or both), but cooking is not your thing. Yes, you would have to be that bad to screw up these recipes. Don't feel bad, it will save time and you can watch the pirated movie you just downloaded.
