@Lakshmi: Oh yes, Kolkata before the Pujas is at its festive best!

@Suhel: Re: food pics, heh! Common problem. Sometimes have to come back alone to do justice to the pictures. Thank you for your comments.

@Meg: Bengali cuisine needs to be tasted by those who only known the usual North and South foods of India.

@Renny, @Final Transit, @Zhu, @GMG: Thank you!

@Uttiya: Thank you for sharing all the other places here.

Excellent Review... Aaheli is one of the finest bengali restaurant in Calcutta.

This Durga Puja, i was back home in South Calcutta and like every year i savoured Calcutta's diverse food-culture.

To have elaborate Bengali food in Calcutta, one must visit

KEWPIES: Elgin Road
try their "Palong Chhaanar Kofta", "Gotamoshla Maangsho", "Chitol Maachher Muittha" and "Smoked Hilsa"

TERO PARBON: Hindusthan Park
u just cant miss their "Sabujdeeper Kankra" (a crab dish), "Chingri maachh diye Mochhar Ghonto", "Ilish Kalo Jeere jhhal", "Mourala Maachher Jhaal", "Boal Maachher Tel Jhaal", "Tel Maagur Maachh"..

BHOJOHARI MANNA: Gariahat Ekdalia
my favorite restaurant to have bengali food.. they make magnificent "Bhetki Madhuri" (a dish prepared with riverine bheckty fish), "Tel Koi", "Ilish Barishali", "Aar Maachher Dopyaza", "Chitol Maachher Peti" and their signature "Mutton Dakbangla" & "Chicken Goalondo"

RADHUNI: Free School Street
this street dots with authentic "east bengali restaurants" and Radhuni is one of them. Try their "Koi Fish Special", "Tangra Fish", "Kajoli Fish", "Gurjaoli Fish", "Maurala Fish"... all varieties of fresh water fish

Yummy!
This, especially the bhetki paturi fish wrapped and steamed in leaf, reminds me of some of the delicious local cuisine I tried out in Ernakulum last month.

Your posts looks so elegant, sophisticated, so delicate and delicious and this one was no exception. I've never had Bengali food so this is very exotic to a Norwegian!

Thanks for sharing: Interesting read and great pics to present the food.

I have never experienced Bengali cuisine and after reading this post I feel like I am missing out on a great deal.

Thank you for relating in great detail and depth the beauty of what Bengali food is all about.

Hello Shantanu,

I have been a follower of this blog since someone passed me the link to your article about Biriyani, and I must say it's one of the best food blogs I have seen in terms of pictures, layout, description, language and passion for food!

Being a fellow bong I am also naturally inclined towards food, and like to blog about the same (http://suhelbanerjee.blogspot.com/search/label/Food).

My friends and family find the habit of mine of taking pictures, before, during and after meals particularly irritating, so wanted some tips about what to do in such situations! Also, being a keen carnivore, by the time I reach the 'meaty' portion of the meal I dig in with my hands and can't take further pictures of the dishes that follow, wanted to know how you manage to overcome this?

This was intended to be an email, but since I didn't find an address on the blog I am leaving the comment.

Great job with the blog and please continue tempting us with your posts:)
