Guest Post : Mango Curd (Aam Doi Recipe)

Mango Curd

 

I have been away from this space for a while. Things have been a little demanding in the work front. But in the meantime, I celebrated my birthday last week. It was a blast and a post would definitely be dedicated to that. However, today’s post is one of it’s first. It is extremely special as this is the first guest post on MFFS. I met Baishali through a Facebook food group and was instantly in love with her posts. Absolutely gorgeous photography is what led me on to her blog Chakum Chukum. Her food reminds me of home, of childhood, of growing up in Kolkata and the foodie experiences so core to my Bong being. In fact, I found her food and blog hugely inspirational. Please help me welcome Baishali to MFFS. Rest of the post is in Baishali’s words.

I was born a dreamer. Always dreamt of being something or the other – to be a renowned cook, to travel the world, to lead the life of a celebrity, be a recognized author. In my childhood, I really didn’t put in any effort to realize any of my dreams and was more busy enjoying my life otherwise. Joined a cooking class, attempted to write and recite but left everything half-baked. I think I was actually in love with those ideas. And like most young Indian girls, I got married to the idea of marriage very early in life. And when marriage eventually happened, it came with the responsibilities. I knew almost nothing about cooking when I got married. Then on, cooking became a necessity, a challenge and slowly I was caught up in it. I started enjoying it. I get excited by the magic of spices, food, fire and the myriad colours, variety of tastes and aroma that it throws up. Three important men in my life – my Hubby, my Son & my Dad; all are very fond of food. My son lives to eat and not eats to live. The first sentence after he wakes up in the morning is ‘What will be menu for dinner tonight?’.. and he already went to sleep with the menu for next lunch or his school tiffin. So, I had to cook, and it has become a passion for me.

Mango Curd

Like every other family, our summer vacation destination is our hometown and Home country India. Well, when we were in India, we used to eagerly wait for summer vacation so that we can go to our Hometown. But now times have changed, now we eagerly wait for a chance to go to India and spend time with familiar faces, friends, and relatives. This year I could not visit India and it felt as though i was missing my soul. There was this sense of disappointment and regret all the time, that if only I could be there with my family. In our Copenhagen house, its just me my husband and our son. So it does get a little bit lonely at times. We are big time foodies…we love eating…we love trying different cuisines and experimenting with recipes ourselves. We live to eat, we don’t eat to live. And we please our taste buds to the fullest when we visit India. We start making lists mentally as to where all we will go and hog and what all we will eat from almost a year back. My In-Laws stay there. so we visit Kolkata quite frequently. And another reason to visit Kolkata is it’s delicious and mouth watering food, which I am sure you all know about. and when we are talking about Kolkata, obviously one thing that comes to all our minds is the delicious Mishti Doi. So in memory of India, Kolkata and my family, today I am going to make Mishti Doi with a little bit of twist in it. So I have decided to go for mango flavoured Curd (Doi) or you can call it Mango Doi. Hope you guys like it!!
