Bengali cuisine - Prawn malai curry
A Bengali-Oriya cook makes
Prawn malai curry at the '
City of Joy' restaurant in
New Delhi.
The flavour and taste of the food they serve makes it a real joyful experience to visit. There speciality is naturally fishes. They are flown from
Kolkata (twice/thrice a week) thanks to the efficient logistics set up nowadays. As a result you get served with the best of the best fishes as far as their freshness and taste are concerned. The Bhetkis are from original Kolkata sweet water bheris, the Rui/Katlas are from
Lalgola, the Ilish is fresh out of
Kolaghat, the Prawns and crabs are from
Kharibari and the list goes on. All our chefs and kitchen staff are from
Orissa (considered the champion cooks) with loads of experience in cooking and creating traditional
Bengali delicacies. Along with the fishes, we also bring certain specific spices and herbs from Kolkata. So you get original Gondhoraj lebus and dhani lonkas on the table when you sit to eat here. Along with fishes, we specialize in dishes like typical Kolkata Biryani with
Mutton and
Chicken Chaap,
Kosha Mangsho, Murgi Posto, Kobirajis, Moghlais,
Fish Orlies and our very own Fish
Fries and
Fish Fingers. The vegetarian list is nothing less interesting and traditional.
They always try to give their customers a feel of
Ethnic Kolkata all around. Indeed all their décor have been made in various parts of
West Bengal and transported to
Delhi. The terracotta chandeliers with Alpana decorations are made in Duttapakur, in the outskirts of Kolkata (You won't find such lamp shades anywhere else in the country). The walls and ceilings have been draped with madur (jute mats), a product of a place called
Mecheda. The cutleries are made out of bull's horn (a very special cottage industry of a north
Bengal town,
Malda). The furniture is all made of
Assam and north Bengal cane. Even the salt and pepper stands are made out of
Coconut shells, another unique handicraft product of Kolkata. The walls are full of pictures of legendary Bengali personalities like
Satyajit Ray, Uttam --
Suchitra,
Feluda and his team,
Kishore Kumar, paintings of
Jamini Roy, photographs of historic monuments like
Howrah Bridge,
New Market,
Victoria Memorial,
Howrah station and more as they were during the
1930s and
1940s.
