Kosha Mangsho (Slow-Cooked Caramelised Mutton)
A traditional Bengali slow‑cooked mutton curry where the meat is caramelised with deeply browned onions, whole spices and a touch of ghee for a rich, silky gravy. Patience and careful browning are the keys to authentic flavor.
Calcutta Christmas Cake
A dense, richly spiced Indian‑style Christmas fruitcake packed with almonds, pistachios, cashews and soaked dried fruits. Baked low and slow at 150°C for a moist, deep‑flavored loaf that can be fed with rum or brandy over weeks for extra richness.
Christmas Fruitcake Fruit Soak
A traditional Calcutta‑style fruit soak for Christmas fruitcake. Dried fruits are chopped and macerated in dark rum (or whisky/brandy) for at least 20 days, creating a richly flavored, plump mixture that forms the heart of a festive fruitcake. This soak is the first part of Bong Eats' two‑part holiday cake recipe.
