Calcutta Food: A Story of Beghums, Babus and The British

Naan Curry with Sadaf and Archit

In this episode, Sadaf Hussain is hosting, writer Nilosree Biswas and photographer Irfan Nabi, co-authors of Calcutta on Your Plate. Together they discuss:

• Who all have played a role in influencing the food of Bengal?
• Is Bengal food inclusive?
• How can one define Calcutta cuisine?
• Is Bengal food evolving or is it stuck in time?

So, sit back and relax, and cook some Aloo Posto while you let this discussion tantalize your palate.
