    How do you prepare thick Bengali payesh using dairy product milk?

    What’s the one dessert that brings a smile to everyone’s face? The quintessential Bengali dessert – Payesh! A creamy, rich, and flavourful delight, Payesh has a special place in every Bengali’s heart. Whether it’s a birthday, wedding, or even an ordinary day when you feel like indulging, a bowl of thick Bengali Payesh is all you need to sweeten your soul.

    If you’re wondering how to make the perfect thick Bengali Payesh using dairy product milk in Kolkata, we’ve got you covered. The good news? You don’t need to be a pro chef to ace this recipe! All you need is Keventer Metro Milk, some aromatic gobindobhog rice, and a handful of basic ingredients that are probably already in your kitchen.

    Ingredients You’ll Need

    • Keventer Metro Milk – 1 litre
    • Gobindobhog Rice – 50 grams (or any short-grain fragrant rice)
    • Sugar – 100 grams (adjust according to your sweetness preference)
    • Cardamom Pods – 3-4 (for that subtle aroma)
    • Bay Leaf – 1 (optional but recommended for an authentic touch)
    • Cashews and Raisins – A handful (to garnish and add texture)

    Step-by-step Guide to Making Bengali Payesh:

    Step 1: Prep the Rice

    Begin by washing the gobindobhog rice thoroughly. Once clean, soak the rice in water for about 15-20 minutes. This step ensures that the rice cooks evenly and absorbs the flavours beautifully.

    Step 2: Boil the Milk

    Pour Keventer Metro Milk into a heavy-bottomed pan and heat it until it comes to a boil, stirring occasionally to keep it from sticking. Once it boils, lower the flame and let it simmer gently. The slow simmering is key to getting that rich, creamy texture.

    Step 3: Cook the Rice

    Drain the soaked rice and add it to the simmering milk. Add a bay leaf and crushed cardamom pods to give the milk a delicate aroma. Stir gently to prevent the rice from clumping. Cook on low flame until the rice softens and blends smoothly with the milk.

    Step 4: Add sugar

    Once the rice is cooked and the milk has reduced to a creamy consistency, add sugar to the mix. Stir well to dissolve the sugar completely.

    Step 5: Garnish and Serve

    In a small pan, lightly toast the cashews and raisins until they’re golden brown. Add them to your Payesh as a garnish. This adds a delightful crunch and a burst of sweetness with every bite.

    Step 6: Cool and Relish

    Payesh tastes heavenly when served chilled, but many prefer it warm. Let it cool down to your desired temperature, and then dig in!

    Tips for Perfect Payesh:

    • Always use the best dairy product milk in West Bengal – it gives you the best results. You can use Keventer Metro Milk to achieve that rich, creamy texture.
    • Stir frequently to prevent the milk from burning or sticking to the pan.
    • Adjust the sweetness to your taste by tweaking the sugar quantity.
    • If you want to go the extra mile, you can add a pinch of saffron for a royal touch.

    The secret to an authentic Bengali Payesh lies in the quality of milk. Keventer Metro Milk is not just rich and creamy but also packed with the freshness and purity that enhances the overall flavour of your dish. Whether it’s a festive occasion or a simple craving, Keventer Metro Milk ensures that every spoonful of Payesh is a journey to culinary bliss.

    How to plan a last-minute party menu featuring crispy chicken fingers?

    The clock is ticking, the doorbell could ring any moment, and you’re still wondering what to serve for your last-minute party. Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! Planning a quick party menu can be surprisingly simple, especially when Crispy Chicken Fingers take centre stage. Kids love their crunchy texture, adults can’t resist their savoury goodness, and they pair beautifully with a variety of dips. But if you want your party to be truly memorable, it’s not just about serving chicken fingers. It’s about crafting a menu that complements this star dish while embracing the Bengali passion for delicious, flavourful treats.

    The Perfect Dips to Pair with the Best Chicken Fingers

    No crispy chicken finger platter is complete without some tantalising dips. Keep it simple yet flavourful. Here are some quick ideas:

    • Mustard Mayo Dip: Mix mayonnaise with a dollop of Bengali kasundi for a tangy kick.
    • Garlic Yogurt Dip: Whip up some thick yoghurt, minced garlic, and a dash of salt.
    • Sweet Chili Sauce: If you’re short on time, store-bought options such as sweet chilli sauce work wonders too.

    Bengali Twist: Add Some More Traditional Delicacies

    Since Bengalis love their traditional flavours, why not throw in some local options:

    • Beguni: Eggplant fritters that are crispy and soft in every bite.
    • Alu Posto Bora: A traditional Bengali fritter made with potatoes and poppy seeds,

    These dishes add a comforting touch to your menu and balance out the meaty goodness of the chicken fingers.

    Quick Fix Sides to Save Time

    When planning a party menu, balance is key. Add some quick and easy sides that won’t keep you tied up in the kitchen. Here’s what you can whip up:

    • Veggie Sticks and Hummus: Slice up cucumbers, carrots, and bell peppers and serve with hummus.
    • Cheese Cubes and Crackers: A fuss-free platter that’s ready in minutes.
    • Corn Salad: Toss boiled corn with chopped onions, coriander, and a drizzle of lemon juice for a refreshing side.

    Drinks to Complement the Feast

    Don’t forget to serve some refreshing drinks to wash it all down. For an instant Bengali vibe, make:

    • Aam Panna: A tangy mango cooler that’s refreshing and hydrating.
    • Lebu Cha: Classic lemon tea with a pinch of black salt and sugar.
    • Cold Coffee: Blend Keventer Metro Milk with coffee, sugar, and ice for a chilled delight.

  • How Do You Like Your Chicken Momos During Durga Puja: Steamed Or Fried?

    How Do You Like Your Chicken Momos During Durga Puja: Steamed Or Fried?

    When it comes to a Bengali’s culinary preferences, the debate between steamed momo and fried momo stirs up passionate opinions. In Bengal, this Tibetan delight is loved by most and during Durga Puja, every pandal will probably have at least three to four momo vendors within its premises. Post admiring the beauty of the architecturally brilliant, thematic pandal, and praying to the deity with utmost devotion, pandal hoppers throng to these momo stalls for a little snack break. However, the question arises, which one is the better momo: steamed or fried? What should you eat during Durga Puja?

    When we talk of chicken momos, puritans would debate that the authentic version is always the steamed one. Needless to say, steamed chicken momos are often regarded as the healthier option and has a strong following among those who prioritise healthy eating without compromising on the flavour. The steaming process retains the natural flavours and moisture of the chicken filling, resulting in a light and succulent bite.

    On the other hand, fried chicken momos offer an entirely different sensory experience. The crispy exterior provides a delightful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the soft filling. Besides, who can forget a Bengali’s indomitable love for fried food? The frying process allows for a richer flavour, often enhanced with spices that seep into the dough, creating a savoury treat that is hard to resist.

    Then which one should you have during your Durga Puja celebrations? We suggest you have a bit of both!

    With Keventer Chicken Momos, you can experiment all you want! These ready-to-cook chicken momos take only 5-7 minutes to make. Take them out from the freezer, place them in a pre-heated steamer, and you’re done! Serve these steamed dumplings as a delightful Durga Puja snack with some spicy sauce.

    Instead of steaming, you can also drop Keventer Chicken Momos in a pan of oil and deep fry until a beautiful, golden brown. Try going a step further by lightly tossing the fried chicken momos with some chopped onions, garlic, spring onions and capsicum.

    Whichever version of this Bengali favourite you decide to try, rest assured you’ll enjoy a delicious festive time with our Keventer Chicken Momos. Buy it from Swiggy Instamart today!

Once it turns hot, cumin seeds, bay leaves and dry red chillis are thrown in. Some ginger paste and chopped tomatoes follow suit, along with basic spices, and sugar and salt to taste.

    A little simmering later, cups of water are poured in and some moong dal, chopped potatoes and Gobindobhog rice are added to the pot. The mixture is then boiled and when the ingredients are partially cooked, the green peas are added. Once cooked, teaspoonfuls of garam masala and oodles of ghee are added to the pot for the final touch.
