“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”

– Epicurus (341 BC – 270 BC)

I’m just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I’m far away from home
And I’ve been facing this alone
For much too long
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind
Ive been looking back to find
Where I went wrong.

Too much love will kill you
If you can’t make up your mind
Torn between the lover
And the love you leave behind
You’re headed for disaster
Cause you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you
Every time…

Serving size: 5 people

• Rice: 500 grams
• Moog daal (roasted): 500 grams
• Cinnamon: 4 sticks (2.5 centimeter long)
• Whole cardamoms : 4-5
• Whole cloves : 4-5
• Whole cumin seeds (jeera): A liberal pinch
• Bay leaves: 2
• Ginger: 4 cm long, chopped fine
• Whole green chillies: 2
• Turmeric powder: 1.5 teaspoonful
• Mustard oil: 60 milliliter
• Salt: As required

1. As goes with the Bengali tradition, first rinse the rice and leave it to dry in a colander. The daal is washed and roasted until it gives a beautiful flavour which is quite unlike the raw daal.
2. Heat water in a kettle not boiling for the cooking. Adding hot water always aids the cooking process than adding cold water.
3. Put oil in a heavy bottomed cooking pot and after it gets hot put in the whole garam masala with the bay leaves. When they start sputtering and gives out a flavour add the cumin and the ginger and cook by stirring until you get the nutty flavour of cooked ginger.
4. Add the rice to the oil and fry for 2/3 minutes.
5. Add the roasted moog daal and the turmeric powder after adding some water (hot). The level of water should not be more than 4 centimeters (1.5 inches) above the level of rice and daal.
6. After checking for the lentils to get cooked add the whole green chillies, salt and sugar to taste and just before removing from the fire add some powdered garam masala.
7. The Khichuri is accompanied by fried halves of potatoes, chicken, red meat, Hilsha or some other fried fish, sometimes eggs, and any other fritter that you can think of. Only thing is that they should be crisp and exciting.
