Potato is the king of all vegetables when it comes to my family. In my childhood, I never imagined surviving a single day without having a potato. Just a plate of rice, butter, and a boiled potato mashed with raw mustard oil with salt would make my day. In addition to it, if it was mixed with some raw grated coconut, One would have found me on cloud nine.
Geeta Mashi, the very dear old cook of our house used to cook each and every dish with Potato because of her unconditional love for me. In our house where potatoes might be taboo to be used in a pure Bengali dish, She was the one rebellion to make her beloved one happy by adding the potato in the dish. My little sizzling pies are now stepped on my shoe and can’t survive without potatoes and so is Mr. Pie. In contrast, I have discarded potato from my meal intake just in thought that it may help me to reduce few extra kilos that are burdening my soul.
