The Pujo Plates – A Tribute to Kolkata’s Cuisine

Pujo in Kolkata is as much a celebration of food as it is of faith, nostalgia and togetherness. This *Shoshti lunch* brings that spirit to the table through a menu rooted in the flavours of the Bengali home—familiar, festive, and touched with a little indulgence.

We begin with *Loitya Maacher Chop, crisp and deeply savoury, followed by the sweet-tangy refreshment of **Amshotto Tetul er Shorboth*. *

Ghee Bhat with Goynabori* sets the tone for the traditional spread, accompanied by *Laal Shak Shukto* and *Chingri diye Sheem er Bhorta*, celebrating vegetables in distinctly Bengali preparations.

The meal moves on to fragrant *Gondhoraj Bhetki Bhapa, before the richness of **Mangsher Muktagacha with Polao* takes centre stage. Finally, a bowl of comforting *Kheer* brings this Pujo lunch to a suitably sweet close.

*A leisurely afternoon of Bangali ranna, Pujo memories, and the pleasure of gathering around a festive table.*
