RannaGhor

I am a bengali who has discovered the joy of food 3000 miles way from homeland. RannaGhor(means kitchen in bangla) is an attempt to share my kitchen experiments with like minded people out there. I love cooking ...it is my way to destress or to simply satisfy my taste buds. I am one of those who live to eat.

Getting high on tea

Generally we ask friends over for lunch or dinner. Sometimes due to busy diaries we have done a tea. What started off being just a few things with tea went on to become something on the lines of the british high tea tradition. 

I find it a good way of trying out new recipes which won't get any attention in a normal indian menu. It does a great job of breaking the monotony of the same old dal sabzi roti routine. 
Also it allowed me to show off my tableware. I love collecting weird and wonderful serving ware. Walking into a shop and trying to keep myself to buying a new platter or a new bowl is a constant struggle. I also need to say this is where pinterest comes into its own. Just do a search on canapes and the pictues that come back are so stunning that there is nothing you can do but try to make them. 
These pictures are my two successfull trials. Both were vegetarian selection of canape. 
It does take some time to get all the ingredients. There is a fair bit of preparation you can do beforehand. The good thing about this is you can make it as elaborate or simple as you want. 
I will be sharing some of the recipes done for this over time.
