About These Recipes

These recipes come from the kitchen of Mahamoda, lovingly preserved by her family. In Bengali households, recipes are rarely written down—they're passed through generations by watching, helping, and tasting.

We decided to change that. Armed with cameras, microphones, and many hungry family members, we documented Mom's cooking sessions in detail. Every pinch of salt, every Bengali term, every secret tip has been captured.

"রান্না শেখা মানে ধৈর্য শেখা"
(Ranna shekha mane dhorjo shekha) — Learning to cook means learning patience

We hope these recipes bring the warmth of a Bengali kitchen to your home. Each dish tells a story, carries memories of family gatherings, festivals, and everyday moments of love expressed through food.
