The great festival of Bengal is Durga puja. All Bengalis whether they are poor, rich or middle class all 

are waiting for their great festivals whole year. They have their fasting in maha shasti (first day 

of festivals) and in Maha Ashtumi(3^rd day of Durga puja).Most of Bengali family don’t take none 

vegs items in these 2 days. They have puri (they say luchi) and aloo curry (aloor dom) in their main course.

The dish becomes mouth watering if a sweet with it. I made komola bhog which are liked by my family

 members (you can find the recipe in my another blog).

Today I am ready with our vegs lunch luchi ,aloordom and komola bhog.I want to share with you.

Here is the simple recipe: For luchi take white flour maida (2 cups), flour (1 cup), 4 teaspoons oil in it 

.Mix well and make dough, cut in small pieces, roll with rolling pin make like puri and fry. what a 

marvelous taste....you don't forget it.

Next item aloordom: boil potatoes, peel off the skin. Now add whole cumin seeds, bay leaf, dry red 

chili in hot oil. Fry boiled potatoes, now add turmeric powder (1/2 teaspoon), cumin powder 

(2tablespoons), coriander powder (2 ½ tablespoon),garam masala powder, and salt to taste. Fry all
