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.
