I love winter season the ost amongst all. Not only I like the chilled weather, but also for the food. Throughout the season you can get fresh vegetables, fresh date palm jaggery, fresh varities of fruits etc. So I try to cook vegetables as much as I can. Because rest of the year you have to eat the fish, poultry and meat. So better to enjoy the veggies now. So today, I've, sorry not me, actually Mom cooked this delicious Bengali Veg spread, which includes,

Bhat
Sabji Dal
Dhenros piaj bhaji
