Baked Fish Casserole by Bandana Biswas
There are some families where being a foodie comes naturally. Mostly because the family can boast of great cooks — my friend Arunima’s family is one such. Her mom, Ms. Bandana Biswas, is not only only a great cook, but a spontaneous fountain of fun and laughter — someone everyone enjoys spending time with. Apart from their culinary skills, the mother-daughter duo is also hugely admired for their sartorial senses; and I personally envy their collection of Dhakai Jamdani Sarees. Thank you Kakima for sharing your recipes with BitebyByte.
