As I’ve said before, cooking/recipe posts have gone on indefinite hiatus on the blog. I’m still cooking as much as always and in fact am still posting recipes. But I’m doing so only on Instagram, and with Reels/videos of the cooking process usually attached. These videos are of a stunningly high technical and aesthetic quality and I have been reliably informed that the series as a whole was in the running for a special jury award at Cannes this year before unseemly politics—I’m looking at you Martin Scorsese, you bastard!— torpedoed my chances. Anyway, if you follow me on Instagram—and even if you don’t—you can still marvel at the genius of these videos and enjoy these recipes anyway. There is no need to thank me. The first digest of these Instagram recipe posts included most of the Reels I’d posted between then and the beginning of the year. This digest does not include quite as many but you should watch them three or four times each anyway; and probably once more to be sure.

• Wok-Charred Gailan in a Bengali Style
• Spice-Crusted Roast Beef
• Roast Beef Salad
• Baingan Masala with Smoked Ham
• Fish Curry with Aachi’s Nellore Fish Curry Masala
• Tiranga/Tricolor Dal with Goda Masala
• Chicken Curry with Caramelized Onion
• Bhindi Fry
• Fish Curry with Bedekar’s Malvani Masala
• Seshwaan Beef Chowmein

Here are photographs of all of the above. Study them closely.

Again, if you don’t want to wait for these digests, all you have to do to stay current with my cooking content is follow me on Instagram.
