The Timeless Charm of Kolkata

Those simple, soul-satisfying dishes—prepared with...
Celebrating Durga Puja in New York: A Blend of Joy, Nostalgia, and Family
Every autumn, as the leaves start turning gold in New York City, my family and I gather to celebrate Durga Puja—a vibrant Hindu festival that honors the goddess Durga's victory over evil. It's like our version of a grand Thanksgiving mixed with Halloween's creativity, but rooted in ancient traditions from Bengal, India. This year, it was just us: my daughter, her husband (my wonderful son-in-law), our two energetic grandchildren, my husband, and me. We make it special in our own way, but oh,...
Food and Festivities of Gujarat
We had a rare opportunity to visit Gujarat about a year ago. A cousin and his family invited us over. On our way to Kolkata, my husband and I first went to Delhi for a few days, and then flew to Rajkot in the Westernmost state bordering Pakistan. From there, the cousin picked us up from the airport, and drove us to Jamnagar – a small city famous for the royal palace and fort of a famous British-era prince Raja Ranjit Singh. Gujarat is a place that has a number of unique features. One important...
What People Are Saying
"We had a wonderful time at Mukti’s kitchen. It was slow, thorough, participatory and always engaging. I feel ready to throw away all of my powdered spices and start adding complex and healthy flavor to my food. "

"We took a lesson with Mukti and it was an incredible experience, would recommend to anyone! She warmly welcomed us into her home (even when I was running very late due to traffic), taught us how to cook a wonderful meal, and shared stories about her life with us. And the food was so delicious. We’d gladly go back again!"

"Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she taught the entire class over Zoom, with three cameras that showed every step of the preparation. "
-Michael Y.
"What a fantastic time we had with Mukti! It was an immersion in the delicious side of her Chemistry wisdom, both in what we learned about Indian spices and in how beautifully she integrated our little group into the food’s secrets and marvels. Just so much fun and rewarding to be a part of. My wife and I heartily recommend a visit, pakora, saag paneer, and some butter chicken!"
