You don’t have to wait any more for the Durga Puja stalls for your favourite Bengali rosogolla or sandesh or jhal muri or bengali snacks like Radha Vallabhi, Ghughni and Mughlai Paratha.
With the same thought in mind, we opened a small and cosy Bengali cafe where Bengali sweets and snacks is available everyday.
Some of the special dishes we offer:
The unique combination makes it a perfect dessert and people throng to make a video of it. But our take: "You may love it, or you may hate it. But you may at least once try it."
Radha Vallabhi is a bengali deep fried bhatura with a delicious filling of udad ki dal spiced with fennel seeds, ginger and green chillies. It is traditionally served with Dum aloo or Chane ki dal.
Legends have several stories about the origin of Radha Vallabhi. One of the stories is that Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu invented this delicacy to be offered to Shyamsundar Ji of Khardah, a form of Lord Krishna. Since one among the 108 names of Sri Krishna is Radha Vallabh, it is said that this meal got named after the Lord himself.
Another story points at the kitchens of Vrindavan. The view is that Jitendranath Modak learnt the art of making Radha Vallabhi from Vrindavan. He later taught it to his nephew Putiram and Putiram introduced it at the iconic Putiram Sweets in College Square at Kolkata.
Kheer Kadamb is a traditional two-layered Bengali sweet, named after the Kadamb flower. While the core is made of dry rasgulla, the outer shell is made of kheer (milk solids). The sweet balls are rolled over a bed of shredded kheer.
Vegetable Chop is a popular street food from Kolkata. Beetroot,carrot, peanuts and other vegetables are cooked and coated with breadcrumbs, then deep fried till golden brown and served with kasundi (A mustard based sauce) and onion cucumber slices. Being loaded with vegetables it is a great healthy snack for kids as well as adults.
