Breaking Basmati

This weekend, we're setting The Shared Table.

A Rath Yatra menu inspired by the shared culinary traditions of Odisha and Bengal.

The more we researched, the more we found cuisines that spoke the same language—mustard, coconut, seasonal produce, fish, gentle spices, and familiar techniques—yet arrived at dishes that were unmistakably and proudly their own.

That felt worth celebrating.

This menu is our small exploration of where Odia and Bengali food feel familiar, yet remain beautifully their own.

Available for lunch & dinner this Saturday and Sunday.

Pre-orders are now open.
Delivery via Porter at actuals.

THE MONSOON TABLE

The first proper rains deserved Bhuni Khichuri.

Whether the monsoon sticks around long enough for the weekend... that's between Pune and the weather gods.

We decided to cook it anyway.

This weekend's table brings together Bangali monsoon comfort food with a few beloved Parsi classics. No elaborate backstory this time. Just a menu we've been craving for weeks.

Pre-orders are now open.

Yesterday I spent far too many words trying to explain why Mama Bari felt like the right theme for this weekend.

Today, I'll let the menu do the talking.

Even the cover is our attempt at remembering a Bengali summer vacation. The little things that quietly lived around the food: afternoons that refused to end, games left unfinished, comics borrowed from cousins, and the comforting certainty that tomorrow would look exactly the same.

Looking at the menu now, I realise almost every dish is trying to recreate a different part of those summers. Some recipes came straight from our grandmothers. Some are dishes we wish somebody had cooked for us back then. A couple wandered much further than nostalgia usually allows, because memory isn't the only thing that comes home. Curiosity does too.

In hindsight, that perhaps was the whole point of this menu.

Hope this one finds its way to your table this weekend.

Pre-orders are now open for Saturday & Sunday.

Every year, around this time, Bengal celebrates Jamai Shoshti. At home, though, we've always celebrated Shontan Shoshti instead.

Shontan in Bangla simply means your own children.

It took me years to realise how beautiful that was.

There aren't many rituals that celebrate your children simply because they're yours. Not because it's their birthday. Not because they've achieved something. Not because they've gotten married. Just because they exist, and they're loved.

That's the tradition Ma chose for us. It's the one we've chosen to carry forward at Breaking Basmati.

Family, after all, is sometimes given and sometimes chosen. It grows with parents, siblings, partners, friends and everyone else who finds a place at your table.

This weekend, we hope our Shontan Shoshti menu becomes a small part of that table.

Pre-orders are now open for 20th & 21st June. ❤️

For the mango people in a banana republic is back. 🥭

Every year, we wait out the heat for the one thing summer in this part of the world reliably gets right: mangoes. Sweet ones, tart ones, grated into achar, folded into kheer, simmered into tok dal, and light brothy fish curries meant to be eaten slowly while the ceiling fan (and the ACs) fight for their lives.

This year’s menu is built around that familiar Bengali summer logic: if the weather insists on being unbearable, lunch should at least be excellent.

Thank you for being here, and for keeping this tiny community kitchen alive long enough for us to do ridiculous niche menus like this every year. ❤️

Pre-orders open.
Call or WhatsApp: 9920970508

Delivery via Porter/Rapido (charged at actuals), or self-pickup.
