For many years I have worked/work with an Indian family,helping them out with their kids and around the house. Over the course of all these years I was introduced to Authentic Bengali cuisine and fell immediately in love. Her and her mom make the most outstanding food and are constantly incorporating the spices I used in this Shrimp dish in many of their homemade authentic dishes. My favorites in that house are Paneer, Rajma, Dal & Coriander Chutney (this isn’t a dish but it is the most amazing thing ever) 🙂

Each time I use spices such as Coriander, Curry & Turmeric I am reminded of these dishes and I feel a slight homage is paid to their wonderfully authentic cooking. Soon I hope to write a blog post of my experience making several Bengali dishes on my own for the first time and hope you all enjoy them as much as I have.

To me Indian food is all about the Aroma, the depth of flavor and the senses that come upon you when you have your first bite of food. I hope you all enjoy this simple, yet flavorful recipe that is also extremely healthy.
