The Flavours That Make Puja Magical

No festival or celebration ever feels complete without good food — especially if you’re a true Bengali at heart. And when it comes to Durga Puja, food isn’t just about eating, it’s about celebrating traditions on a plate. So, if you love indulging in Bengali flavours, here’s a quick sneak peek into 10 authentic Bengali dishes in Kolkata that you absolutely shouldn’t miss this festive season!

Shorshe Ilish – The King of Festive Tables

Sorshe Illish or Hilsa fish cooking with mustard seed

For Bengalis, Hilsa isn’t just a fish — it’s pure nostalgia. At Devi Chowdhurani, our Shorshe Ilish is bathed in pungent mustard paste, just like it’s made in traditional kitchens. One bite and the tangy, mustardy punch tells you — this is the taste of celebration.

Kosha Mangsho – A Puja Essential

Kosha Mangsho Home style Mutton curry

Picture this: steaming luchis, a festive afternoon, and the aroma of slow-cooked mutton wafting through the air. That’s our Kosha Mangsho — rich with caramelized onions, garlic, and a robust spice mix. A dish that makes families linger at the table a little longer.

Chingri Malai Curry – Luxurious Indulgence

Chingri malai curry also known as prawn malai curry

If there’s one dish that screams indulgence, it’s Chingri Malai Curry. Plump prawns soaking up the creamy coconut milk and spices — this one’s not just food, it’s a statement of luxury during Puja.

Bhuna Khichuri with Labra – The Soul of Puja Bhog

Ask any Bengali — Puja without khichuri is unthinkable. Our Bhuna Khichuri, paired with Labra (a soulful mix of veggies), tastes just like the bhog that reminds you of Ashtami afternoons and Nabami feasts.

Luchi & Alur Dom – Simple Yet Divine

Luchi Puri with Alur Dom - Indian cuisine

Not every dish needs grandeur. Puffy golden luchis with spicy alur dom have their own magic — the kind that makes you smile instantly. Perfect for a Puja morning or a quick break before pandal-hopping.

Rui Macher Kalia – Everyday Classic, Festive Style
