One fine day, strolling through the streets of old Kolkata and having done our share of old heritage venue visits, it was already 3 p.m. by the time we were exhausted and famished. And in continuation with the mood of the day, K took me to a 75 year old heritage food joint 'Chitto Babur Dokan' in Decker's Lane. And I instantly fell in love with their Chicken Soup with bread. It's light and savory and is served with vegetables as carrot, potato, papaya and sprinkling of black pepper...etc.
From that day, I had the desire to make that soup myself and have tried with different vegetables like cabbages, cauliflower each time and it has turned out appetizing.
Sharing some clicks from that day of Chitto Babur Dokan (below)..
(Some scenes of the movie Kahani were also shot in front of Chitta Babur Dokan).
**Chicken Soup Recipe**
-- Ingredients (for two)--
200 gms of Chicken (with bone)
1 big-sized potato
1 Carrot (as in the picture)
1/2" ginger finely chopped
1 garlic clove finely chopped
1 medium sized onion (cut into 8 pieces and layers separated)
Turmeric powder (for the colour)
2 inch cinnamon
2 bay leaves
Black pepper/pepper corn (4-5 pieces)
Pepper powder
Salt as per taste
Olive oil (2 tsp)
Butter
Take the chicken pieces, unpeeled potato, uncut but scraped carrot (thoroughly washed) in a pressure cooker and add salt and water (500-550 ml approx.). Also add the cinnamon, bay leaf and pepper corn.
Cook the mix to 4-5 whistles.
Once done and the cooker has cooled off - the potato is peeled and cut in halves (4 big pieces); the carrot is cut into 4-6 pieces depending on its size.
Now heat oil in a wok and saute the onion, ginger and garlic until they are soft.
Add the contents of the pressure cooker, the potato pieces, the carrot pieces; add turmeric and salt (as per taste). Boil the mix for a while (3-5 mins), add pepper powder and butter (2 tsp) and mix.
And the soup is ready to be served.
We had it with bread at breakfast....
Bon Appetit!
Fitzgerald's come link a long way from manually screen-printing T-shirts in his apartment during his early 20s. Screen-printing led him to a job managing link printing contracts with global banks. "I've never been one to sell something that people didn't want, and it's difficult selling printing services in the link digital world."
With its elegantly asymmetric dial, we love the Senator Excellence link Panorama link Date Moon Phase from Germany's Glashütte Original for all sorts of dress occasions, as well as for casual circumstances where a bit of class can make all the difference. The 42mm stainless steel case assures that this watch is never "too much," but the high polish has fooled more than a few folks into link seeing white gold, especially when paired with formal attire. It's incredibly versatile.
Well, it's finally sunny here in New York, and have I got the watch for you. With cool blue tones, a pop of red, and a regatta timer, this Lucien Piccard is a worthy companion for sailing off Kennebunkport or dining al fresco at Lucien. This is one of those link watches that has enough general appeal to link intrigue link even the most novice watch appreciators while also serving up the real heady details for even the most well-versed vintage collector.
In order to extend this pursuit of ergonomics, the 42mm diameter grade link 5 titanium case, water resistant to a depth of link 10m, is without a crown. Winding and setting of the watch link are done on the back of the metal case thanks to a built-in handle that unfolds and turns.
If OMEGA decides in the future to discontinue the 1861, we can imagine subjecting the 3861 to the same NASA tests of 1965. These, however, would likely be undertaken independently by OMEGA in Switzerland, with the results being submitted to NASA. This link would be the same method that NASA approved in 1978, when link we link tested our Alaska III prototypes containing the calibre 861 and sent the results to NASA.
