A few basic ingredients are all you need to make this traditional dish.

'The BJP knows it can't win Bengal.'

'The BJP will get the lion's share of the Opposition vote. I would give the Congress-Left around 15 per cent.'

'At this moment, the Trinamool has an edge.'

'The power of love is the greatest power in the world.' 'Add a smile and you can conquer the world,' Bengali actor June Maliah, the Trinamool Congress's candidate for the Medinipur constituency, tells Swarupa Dutt/Rediff.com.

'Mamata is synonymous with Bengal, its culture, language, traditions.'

'The TMC did not bother telling me, a sitting MLA for 20 years, why I was not being given a ticket.'

'Our honourable CM is so shameless that she will say the state is among the safest for women.'

'Mamata is an emotional person, she follows her heart.' 'We loved that Didi, we still love her, but she is a changed person.' 'Why and how the change happened, who is responsible, I can't say.'

'The TMC forgets that if people don't stand by you, your party will never win.'

'People say my personality doesn't have sharp edges, but politics doesn't have to be about pulling down your opponents or bad mouthing them.'

'I did get a ticket, but getting nominated isn't enough.' 'The people in Habibpur, my own party workers, are my opponents.' 'Is it possible to win?'
