Authentic Bengali Vegetarian Catering
Bring the taste of a traditional Bengali kitchen to your events with my home-cooked vegetarian spreads, crafted from family recipes and seasonal produce.
Dhokaar Dalna, a classic vegetarian curry from Bengal. The 'dhoka' or fried lentil cakes soak up the delicious gravy, making them soft and flavourful. It's a dish that brings back memories of childhood 'biyebaris' (weddings).
Pui Shaakeyr Chorchori, a rustic Bengali mishmash of Malabar spinach and seasonal vegetables. This recipe comes straight from my Thakumoni's (paternal grandma's) kitchen, a simple yet tasty green dish.
Peyaaj Posto, a simple but delicious preparation where large cubes of onion are cooked in a poppy seed paste. We Bengalis love our 'posto' and this is one of the many ways we enjoy it.
Jheengey aar Potoleyr khosha baataa, a paste made from the ground peels of ridge gourd and pointed gourd. This is a traditional appetiser from East Bengal, a testament to the philosophy of not wasting any part of the vegetable.
Echorer Daalna, a curry made with raw jackfruit, which has a texture very similar to meat. My Thakumoni used to make it this way, with succulent jackfruit and potatoes cooked in spices.
Kaju Posto Paneer, a delicate and creamy dish that goes beautifully with crisp parathas. The combination of cashews (kaju) and poppy seeds (posto) creates a rich, unforgettable gravy.
Palong Shakeyr Ghonto, a simple and rustic spinach dish cooked with seasonal vegetables and fried lentil dumplings (bori) for added texture. It's the perfect first course with hot rice.
Sheem Shorshe, a zingy combination of flat beans cooked in a freshly ground mustard paste. The kick of mustard and fresh winter greens makes this a perfect side dish with steamed rice.
Aloo Jhingey Posto, a famous Bengali dish of potatoes and ridge gourd in a poppy seed paste. It's a humble preparation that is incredibly satisfying, especially during the summer.
My Niramish Aloor Dom, a classic and timeless vegetarian potato curry. I make it with baby potatoes in a dry and spicy tomato-based gravy, perfect with 'phulko luchi' (puffy fried bread).
About Niramish: The Vegetarian Spread
I cook every vegetarian meal in my FSSAI-registered home kitchen using separate utensils to ensure absolute purity and adherence to traditional Niramish standards. When you book a spread with me, you are getting the same slow-cooked, hand-ground masalas that I serve to my own family, ensuring that the food is not just catering, but a genuine home-cooked experience for your guests.
Finding authentic, non-restaurant vegetarian Bengali food in Delhi-NCR can be a challenge. Most places rely on heavy cream or generic gravies, but my approach is to stick to the roots. I focus on the delicate balance of spices that define our Niramish (vegetarian) cuisine.
Whether you are planning a small family get-together or a larger celebration, my menu is built around traditional dishes that demand time and patience to prepare. Think of 'Dhokaar Dalna', where the fried lentil cakes are made from scratch to soak up the spiced gravy, or the subtle, nutty flavour of 'Aloo Posto' (potatoes in poppy seed paste). I also prepare rustic favourites like 'Pui Shaaker Chorchori' (a mixed vegetable dish with Malabar spinach) and 'Echorer Dalna' (raw jackfruit curry), which mimic the texture of meat but stay strictly vegetarian.
My catering is fully customisable. We discuss your guest count, your preferred protein or vegetable combinations, and the flow of the meal. Because everything is prepared fresh in my home kitchen, I avoid bulk production shortcuts. If you are looking for a complete course-by-course 'Biyebari' (wedding style) vegetarian feast, I can help you plan that too. Reach out to me directly if you have specific dietary requests or if you want to include winter-special dishes like 'Nolen Gurer Payesh' to finish your meal.
