A favourite among locals, there’s khichdi, ladba, beguni, chutney, fried items followed by payesh and sweets. Bhog on dashmi with pulao and paneer. The menu is different every day.

Home away from home

The Ramakrishna Mission Durga Pujo at Khar feels like home for those from Kolkata living in the city. Former Seven Bungalows resident Sohini Das says, “From the dhakis playing their percussion to the idol, the crowd of revellers in new ‘pujo dresses’ to the four-day food stalls selling everything from kosha mangsho-luchi to chicken roll or biriyani —in my mind it’s my own little Calcutta coming alive in Bombay. It helps take away the homesickness.”
