Bengali home feasts — bhaat, maach, mishti
5.0 · 3 reviews on ChefNetwork
About
I cook the unhurried Bengali table — shorshe ilish in mustard, kosha mangsho, and a parade of mishti to finish. Niramish (no onion-garlic) feasts for pujo are a speciality.

FAQ
Can you cook niramish (no onion-garlic)?
Yes — many of my festive menus are entirely niramish, perfect for pujo and shraddha.
Is hilsa always available?
It's seasonal. Out of season I'll suggest equally special alternatives like bhetki or prawns.
Do you serve, or just cook?
Both — I plate and serve in the traditional course order, or set up a buffet for larger groups.
