Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!"

Finally spring is in the air!
So we had our first impromptu(me and A started planning for it at about 11 pm the night before ) picnic here last weekend. The plan did work out quite well. So we had a classic " Jane Austen" styled "Picnic at Box hill" with our friends.

Bottle gourd Curry

Ghontos should be called Ghontos and nothing else. So Lau Ghonto, in no possible way should be called Bottle Gourd Curry. My sincerest apologies for that.

This is a quintessential Bengali vegetarian dish. We grew up with Lau Ghonto popping up frequently in the weekly menu, specially in the summer months and to my amusement every time this dish is served, it comes with Ma’s perennial words “ Lau gorom er somoi khete hoi, pet thanda thake” .
I am looking forward to this summer Ma, when I would cook this dish and serve you with those tender and comforting words “Lau gorom e khete hoi……..”
