बंगाल के कोलकाता में बंगाली घर का खूब भालो बंगाली खाना l Huge Home Cooked Bengali Food in Kolkata

- Опубликовано: 28 ноя 2023
- During our visit to Kolkata, we were graciously treated to a delightful home-cooked Bengali meal at Pritha's house, prepared by her mother, Sangeeta Ji. The lavish spread showcased an array of dishes, including rice, ghee, ucche bhaja, aalu bhaja, katla maach bhaja, topse fry, islish macher matha diye dal, laal shak, four kinds of fish curries, mutton kosha, basanti pulao, maacher tok, assorted Bengali sweets, papad, mishti doi and paan.
In the traditional Bengali style of dining, each course unfolded with Sangeeta Ji's guidance. We commenced with the potato bitter gourd fry, a dish known for its ability to revive the palate from sickness-induced dullness. Following that was the flavorful red spinach, succeeded by the peanuts mixed aalu bhaja which was eaten with with ghee.
The experience continued with the unique ilish fish head-based dal. Ilish, being a prized fish, often commands high prices, especially during off-seasons. However, Bengalis' love for ilish allows for the option of obtaining specific parts if the whole fish seems pricey.
Despite Anubhav's inefficiency in eating fish effortlessly, the reassurance from Pritha and Sangeeta Ji made the bones look less daunting. The juicy and flavorful ilish fish head marked a positive step in overcoming this challenge. We then savored mildly spiced bhetki and cauliflower curry, alongside topse fry, moroula fry, and katla maach fry, each curry presenting its own distinct taste profile, ranging from light to rich.
The culinary journey culminated in the beloved combination of basanti pulao and mutton kosha, where the former exuded aromas from the rice and spices and the latter offered a hearty and robust layer to the combo.
For dessert, we relished mishti doi and assorted sweets, concluding with the refreshing touch of paan.
Amidst this fish-centric gastronomic experience, what truly stood out was the genuine warmth and joy with which Pritha and her mother shared their cuisine. Their passion for food and eagerness to share their cultural heritage spoke volumes, making this meal a truly unforgettable experience.

I love the fact that there are 2 refrigerators in the kitchen. A sureshot sign you're in company with someone who is a passionate foodie. Variety is outstanding. Well done Bengal ! 👏
One for veg items one for non veg
कभी खिलाने का हिम्मत करो ,तब तो जाने ।
Thats because Bengalis keep their veg and nonveg separate in religious households. Back in the day, kitchen for veg and non-veg cooking used to be separate.
one for pure veg one for non veg maxmum bengali parivar 2 refigerators
না রে ভাই।।।।। একটা আমিষ আর অন্য টা নিরামিষ।।।। এটা বাঙালি পরম্পরা।।।।।
It was so touching when you asked the lady, what's her favourite fish. Right after she told you that all Bengali ladies in the morning have this agenda to buy nice food to please their family ❤
I'm a Delhi-ite but I have lived in Kolkata for a couple of years and That's the beauty of Bengali food, very simple looking and modestly made but taste is Top Class unlike the north Indian food overdone with butter and cream in almost every thing, otherwise nothing like north Indian food.
Bengali people put their heart and soul in their food and that reflects. And its economical too ! Unlike the north
True, that's why I cannot eat outside food more than once or twice because of richness of ghee, butter, and masala. Same items we make in home with just ginger, garlic, and green chilli without ghee/butter and tastes awesome!!
Economical? What are you saying? Bengali thali has both vegies and fish. Fish is more expensive than chicken. And many vegetables are so much expensive. Bengalis can't imagine only rice with dal or one sabzi.
Not economical in that sense because fish etc is more expensive in Kolkata due to demand than say in Delhi. But Bengalis don't care about economics when it comes to food and education. They will have modest homes and furnitures, simple clothes even, but no compromise on food and education. A Bengali will compromise on food if the toss up is with paying school fees.
@@newsjunkieish I don't know that in detail but yes I agree to that too. But mostly as I felt Kolkata is very economical compared to Delhi or Mumbai. When it comes to hardcore vegetarian stuff then haryana is the place to be
@@nitinanizwal2282 Actually hardcore vegetarian stuff in Bengali cuisine too is extremely vast and finger-Licking good. I hope @DelhiFoodWalks does a detailed series on Bengal's vegetarian cooking.
My own grandmother and grandaunts, were experts in these dishes. In fact my Mom would also cook many of these dishes my Dadi taught her. But now these dishes are fading out because people usually prefer fish and meat preparations. In fact, there are many fish preparations my Dad likes that I don't see being made any more.
Some of these vegetarian dishes you will find in Oh! Calcutta restaurant. But these dishes are extremely time-consuming to prepare, and needs a lot of skill to make. Usually restaurants find it difficult to find such trained chefs. You can say it's almost gourmet cooking.
Bengali widows have played a big role in developing the intricate vegetarian dishes. Many of them became widows as children and could not eat non-vegetarian food. So they developed some very tasty vegetarian dishes that they and the other widows in their households could enjoy. Traditionally, fish is always eaten with each meal. But the over-indulgence in meat is a recent phenomenon.
Mujhe bhi 1saal pehle ek bengoli family ne ghar pr mere birthday par traditional bengoli khana diya tha Kolkata mai ..sabse achha lga tha jis trh se vo sab khane ka process bta rahe the😅...sach mai Kolkata or bengoli khana ka mai fan ho gya hu😊
When you say 'khoob bhalo' , there were a sweet smile at mom's face. That is the satisfaction of her hard work to prepare of these bengoli delicacy.
I was in west bengal for 3 years. Believe me authentic bangali food is heaven . ❤
You should marry a bengali girl 💞👩🏼🤝👨🏻She will be the joy of your life🙂.. I promise 🙂
Fish ko to endangered kr diya😢😢
Absolutely . If it is authentic. Actually it is mostly flavour based. Subtle Not thick gravy
@@HarshKumar-ux5wz
And here comes Avg. North Indians....We have been eating fishes since ages, never it became endangered spicies as long as the river or ocean is not polluted with toxics, Plastics and oils.
First get out of your BGMI hangover.
@@HarshKumar-ux5wz 😅😅😅😅😅
I have to say ... Even though i dont consume too much fish .... But even for vegetarian dishes bengali food is heaven ❤ definitely underrated ......
These are complicated dishes, and she is serving them for a single meal.
This is one of the best spreads I have ever seen for a home-cooked meal
This is like 'jamaibabu boron' khabar😂 aunty has done an outstanding job to introduce Bengali food to him and us
Amazing combination with English + Bengali +Hindi......And the recipe were totally Bengali.....just amazing.....😊
Bengali Language and Bengali Food .... no match .... this is coming from a SouthIndian from Mangalore settled in Mumbai ... khuub bhalo 😊
❤️
Thank you.
I m staying in Kolkota from past few months… food is awesome here 🫡
Khhub bhalo😂
She is pure Bengali mom❤will love to eat Bengali food❤
I love this lady...she is so welcoming and charming lady...both mother and daughter are so 👍
Vary good woman👍🌲🌹💖👍🌲🌹💖👍🌲🌹💖
Thanks a lot. 🙏
Aunty ji is so sweet! So much love and passion for food. Loved the chemistry between mother and daughter 💖
Visited Bengal thrice and absolutely loved the people there. Hospitality is really commendable. 👏
The Lady is so Well Versed. How beautifully she explains every food items benefits👌👌
Thank you for your support & compliment, my dear. 🙏
Speak in Bengali
I feel sorry for us Bengalis, Half of us have to live outside Bengal and miss all the delicacies cooked by our Mothers.
Bcos of political reasons
@@tanya2378 That's an excuse ! More than half of the Gujjus live abroad but they carry their culture wherever they go. In my personal experience, Gujjus live in USA or UK, but still don't eat steak or burgers and they follow their cuisine such as thepla, khakra etc. But Bengalis who live outside of WB or abroad, try to forget their cuisine, culture as soon as possible. So obviously, you won't get Bengali food (WB) much outside. The example of Gujjus holds good for Tamil, Telugu people as well.
What he is trying to say is half of his family.
@@MainakBose666 🤣
Bengali khane me itna item hai k kisi ko agar bengali khana pura test karna hai to uska adha jiban lag jaye ❤😅
First comment, as watching this channel for the first time ..
An educated woman who gracefully embraces her household journey and educating the next generation (which was once in all bengali families) .. May be she had more attributes .. Loved watching this episode .. seems I've gone back to my mothers era ❤❤❤❤❤
Bhai ghar mein 2 TV dekha hai pehle baar do fridge dekh rha hu. These guys are real foodies 🍔🌭🌮🌯🥙
One is for veg another for non veg..common thing in middle-class bengali family. Those who can't afford two fridge, they separate the rows within fridge for veg and nonveg items.
Maximum bengali house mein 2 fridge rehta hain ek veg ke liye aur ek non veg ke liye..
@@Tableno91😂 poora intejam non veg logo ka humlog ke yaha toh alag floor hain non veg ka but fridge kuch nhi hai
Am also from Shantipur, the most educated part of Bengal. We migrated from Beghe in modern Bangladesh in 1819, so we are technically Ghotis.
Ghoti food is highly sophisticated and marked by global influences from all over the world. Bangal food is earthy, rustic and equally tasty.
I really like Anubhav's assured respect to every cuisine. Somehow Punjabis like the finesse and craft of Bengali cuisine, whereas Bengalis like the high quality and simplicity of Punjabi food.
Why did you say most educated part of Bengal? Sagnik Nandi IITJEE 2023 AIR 39 out of 15 lakh candidates is from Bankura...
@@BadAss_691 do I need to reply and react to your comment?
Just one addition : entire bengal (east, west) mostly has very fertile land with lush green surroundings, so people know vegetables and cookings that are unknown to the most. Bengali lunch has two or three non vegetarian dishes at most, but other items are vegetarians. This one with 10 non veg items is really special or exception
I am from Guwahati Assam and I love Bengali food
Bengali cusine is one of the best cusine in the world. Hope you enjoyed this cusine very much sirji👍👍👍👍
Huge spread to showcase the fish dishes of Bengal and salute to the host for her love for the food
Excellent ❤❤❤
I'm from Bangladesh and I loved the sweetness of the aunty 😊
love the bengali food they are hardcore fish lovers !!! same is with konkan region of mahastra and goa!!! we have preparations where we add fish in vegetables!!!
We also do that Fish Head Fish Tail with Saag We also Do bharta Dish . Bharta is When you mix Fish with aloo and Roast it fire . Finally we have Sweet water Fish and sea Fish Both as Mouth changer
There is a preparation called bharli vaangi ... or stuffed brinjal we in Konkan add dried small prawns called jawla or kardi to it ... and it is served with white rice roti...or bhaakri as we call it
@@nishadsawant4402 Jyada bolo mat, abhi north indian tumhe neech Hindu prove karne aa jayenge...Hum bengali log to unke mutavik Half muslim ho chuke hein😅😅😅
no they won't, maar khane ka dar hai. Mishti bengalis are easier to abuse@@Tableno91
@@nandanbhardwaj8464not so..
I’m from Bangladesh and my husband is Maharashtrian. He didn’t know there existed so many varieties of vegetables, specially the leafy ones until he met me. He never liked sea fish much. Being a ‘Bangali Jamai’ he is now a fan of freshwater fishes from Bengal. I was surprised to see Anubhavji pronouncing Bangla words exactly the way my husband pronounces ☺️☺️☺️

Tum log har time West bengal bangali jahabhi hote hai aa jate ho Bangladesh me rehti ho toh khudko bangali jamai ye bolna chhod do .. disgusting..Indian hai bangladeshi nhi
You are chattogram barua buddhist right?
Matlb Indian ban gayi??
@@jaibanerjee9616 To your disappointment, no. None of us are Indian passport holder. Therefore, no question of becoming Indian from legal point of view. On the contrary, culturally, my husband has become Bangladeshi.
Well explained…great video….love you kakima,apne itne acche se bengali culture Ko represent kiya…💕
Thank you so much for your great compliment. This will definitely make my day. My good wishes to you, my dear💕💕💕💕. As you called me Kakima you are welcome .
Aunty is single handedly representing bengali khawa ❤
Missing the Bengali food! so long time❤, looking so yummy... Best food recipe ever..specially the FISH.
You are indeed half Bengali Anubhav. It got proved beyond doubt when you said Pritha haansta hai. That's perfect Bengali Hindi
😂😂😂😂
That is called women empowerment ❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 be connected with their culture and roots .... educated .... we'll dressed .....Evan she we'll fluent in English yet prefer their local Bengali language ....... Perfect sanatani .... namaskar hai aisi mahila ko 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Darun (awesome). But West bengali thali is incomplete without a posto item ( Aloo posto, posto er bora, jhinge aloo posto, bori posto, pinyaj posto, bati posto, bhaja posto) 😊
এমন কি মাছ পোস্ত 😂
@@Faithful54 রুই পোস্ত, দারুন টেস্ট ।
I love alu posto
She's overdone with the fish items
She should have prepared posto, mochar ghonto, shukto, dhokar dalna, elish matha die chyanchra
These are timeless preps
Oh God. You just fed ilish head to a non-Bengali who is not a regular with bony fishes... 😂😂
Kudos to Anubhav ji for going with the flow and accepting the challenge.
Sir i think you are the most underrated food vlogger on YT. The detailing in your every video is something very pleasent. You should have atleast 15M subscribers. All the very best👍
being a bengali .
born in up .
lived up in delhi culture i use to Hate'd my bengali culture .
this video made me proud of my bengali food and culture .
Aunty ji . rocks single handed
dominated . Thats like a bengali
educated brainy people.
Thanks for the lovely video .
#proud to born Bengali
Why did you used to hate Bengali culture? Did it make you feel inferior and insecure among the people around you?
You should be proud of your heritage and culture. Bengali culture is famous. Food is awesome. Sweets are world famous
Thanks for all the compliments. I am absolutely obliged. 🙏
@Avlog_s if a person cannot accept his own identity , he won't be accepted by anybody. Take pride in your own identity & culture.
I am Bihari, I am in Bengal from 5 years....Here food is culture.... Bengali are really have great fond of eating... Enormous item to eat... lovely 😍😍😍😍😍
5 sal se rah rahe ho... Aur jindegi me kabhi nahi wapas jaoge Bengal chorke😂😂😂😂😂
What an amazing variety of fish items. The dishes are so mouth watering. The lady is a cooking expert. Her love for cooking is reflected in the menu she has prepared. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Love from Pakistan ❤️🌹
Aunty ji is just awesome and blow my mind
Just traditional
Just culture
Just awesome
Thank you🙏💕 so much. I am overwhelmed by your compliment
I feel famished, coming to Kolkata soon. Much love to Pritha and Aunty. ❤
You are always welcome, my dear💕. Will feed you whatever you want to have in Bengali cuisine ( as much as I know)
Thank you, Vineet. ❤❤
Aunty's humble and simplicity gesture just have no words to express my gratitude
A great video indeed. Both the ladies showcased our bengali fish eating culture so well and as always anubhav ji is so humble.
Being a bengali, m proud that bengali foods are loved by all. I am missing my mom😢. Didi described everything very well, my mouth was watering.,..
My mother is Bangal and my dad is Ghoti. I enjoy each and every delicacy of both the Bengali community and my mom cooked food is the best. I have seen everywhere especially in West Bengal that Bengali especially Bangals love to cook variety of veg and non veg items. And the love for Sweet is unmatched.
Bengali food is the only food in India that follows a 7-Course Meal.
It starts with a bitter foods ans ends with a sweet dish.
Only for RUclips videos
@@BadAss_691normally it is min 3 -4 course in an avg bengali family
Starts with bitter gourd, sukto or saag
Then dal and fries
One veg item
Then fish/egg/meat
Ends with chutney/sweets
Bengali cuisine without Sukto is incomplete. Moreover vast array of bengali dishes needs more episodes. We are waiting for more from this beautiful and knowledgeable channel.

Iam fish food lover, was drooling throughout the video 😂 u r so lucky sir u got the meal to enjoy😊
In our region , we have Mashed tok ( fish tok , sour chatny) . Instead of tamarind a regional fruit "Belumbu" only available in South East part of Bangladesh is used.
Almost the same like Bangladeshi food. Our ones are spicy. Very nice one. Thank you for sharing.

Sincerely,
Awesome as usual... watching your videos is a feast to your eyes
I love bengali food and mithai, 😋 delicious food ❤
Khoob bhalo 🙌… Beautiful episode!!
I ❤ bengali family very good food
If you see the whole meal , we start with bitter then salty then hot n peppery then sour then sweet. So all kind of taste are synchronized perfectly. This is a perfect meal. And those authentic fish items are just so so fabulous.
Yes and even in ayurveda this sequence is followed which triggers all the tastes
😍😍 she looks so proud of her food... Beautiful food ❤️✨
English, Hindi and Bengali language all are mixed and prepare a "Hotchpotch" language delivery to Anubhav ji.
Language is just a mode of communication. Even with the hotchpotch, if you can successfully get your idea across, it has served its purpose. 😊
Authentic Bengali Dishes ❤
Aunty is really Annapoorna Devi...
Awesome u rock Sir
I am from Kolkata but settled in the South - i envy the meal you are having looks fabulous. Ma'am should start a restaurant - her food looks delectable...

The compliment is applicable to my husband, too. As it was his idea about buying these fishes. Only regret was we did not get a good Hilsa fish to serve to Anubhav Sir.
