Bheja Fry and Rasgollas Dry!!!

Following one of the posts from one of my junior's, whose impact was not felt due to a sedentary life for the last few days! But the junior, Dwaipayan Adhya still makes to the University through the daily route to the University felt it more..than what I did!

Sunday saw the mercury in Kolkata soar to 41.2'C while the day ago was then termed as the second hottest day in April since Indian Independence, with mercury at 40.8'C. The last time it was in 1952, with mercury kissing the 43'C mark! (information from Star Ananda- Alipur Meteorological Database.) The MeT office has already pressed the panic button with heat waves and my personalized iGoogz predicted Tuesday (21/4/09) to have a waltz with 42'C mark! What a luck to be in Kolkata. Better still, if the prediction is far fetched, then Thurdays could see the history repeat with temperature soaring 43'C!!!

Dwaipayan mentions:
" Do you ever wonder how it would be like to taste your own brain curry? If you are interested, tarry not, cause you can have it free of cost today. Just follow a few simple steps, and you will find it exceedingly easy to open you brain out and cook it. First, choose a nice hot locale, with ambient temperature of above 40°C. Stand in the middle of a scorching road with no trees around within a mile radius. Open your hat if you are wearing one, and just dance around for a few minutes maximum. Brain curry is ready, and you don’t even have to think about utensils for tasting it, it directly reaches your brain! "

Well, I was really bowled out with the recipe, in what he terms rightfully as Smoked Brain Curry. Wish I could place a hyperlink, but Rediffland doesnt allow so...! They dont have any seperate page, hence I provide the blog. (Look in my Blogroll for DeepBlueSea) : http://deepbluesea.rediffiland.com/iland/deepbluesea_diary.html

It reminds of a film, with a similar title: BHEJA FRY. In colloqial dialect, Bheja means brain! But since this is Calcutta (Kolkata) in Bengal, how can I miss on a little creativity and mention: BHEJA FRY AND RASAGOLLAs DRY!! (Rasogolla is a famopus Internationally acclaimed Bengali sweet-dish!)
