 A Bengali Kitchen comes alive in Delhi by Rahul Verma (The Hindu)

'Babo Home Kitchen' - BHK's most popular dishes include Kolkata Bhetki  Fish Fry or Chingri Cutlet: fillet marinated in lime and garlic,  dipped in beaten egg and fried. Deliciously crisp, it has a minty flavor that I enjoyed .

BHK is also known for its breakfast fare of Koraishutir  Kochuri (puris stuffed  with mashed and mildly  spiced, how-flavored peas)  and baby potatoes coated with asafetida (hing). I had a bit of BHK"s Shorshey Ilish (hilsa in mustard) the next day for lunch, and found both the fish and preparation exceptionally  good. A good chef has to  know his fish (or fishmonger!) well, too. Next week it offers, along with other favourties, something called prawn- pouri, fried prawns and prawn malaikari. 

BHK only takes pre-orders and has limited slots. Our goal is to help people discover Bengali cuisine,"  Chef Babo (Dipayan Mazumdar) says.
