- Rannaghore Ke? is a fun adda with old and new friends about food, life and everything else. This is episode 9 with Pritha Sen.
We know Pritha di as someone who writes and talks about food and food history, but she contains multitudes, having worked in several-interconnected-fields over the course of her long and chequered career. A former teacher and journalist, Pritha di moved into the field of grassroots development work, working with artisans and crafts communities in remote areas to achieve sustainable livelihoods for them.
As someone who has done a lot of reading, writing and research on the indigenous eating habits of the people of Bengal, particularly Undivided Bengal, Pritha di often takes that knowledge to her own food pop-ups and curated menus. Pritha di is also a chef consultant with fine-dining restaurants, which means she has curated menus and helped set up restaurants in Goa, Mumbai and Singapore.
Pritha di started sharing her family recipes when food groups were first popping up on the social internet. In the episode she talks both about the joy of sharing her personal food stories and recipes with a wider community for the first time, as well as the harsh judgement she faced against some of the ingredients she was using. So, today, when bloggers and CZcamsrs-like us-or even restaurant menus, feature dishes like maccher mathar chyachhra, macher teler bora, or khoshar chachchari of various kinds, we stand on the shoulders of the likes of Pritha di who has been, for more than a decade and a half, priming the audience at large to accept our indigenous eating habits, AND flaunt them proudly to the whole world.
Enjoy the recipes Pritha di cooks for us: khoi'er bora, Bikrampuri dal, lau'er khosha'r chhechki, and alu-phulkopi diye komola kaliya! - Jak na to + styl

One of your finest episodes, i really was enthralled by all the insights Pritha di shared.
Very insightful, thoroughly enjoyed the video, keep up!❤
A very close friend once mockingly told me, 'Tora shobjir khosha o ranna korish!'. 'Tora' here meant the Bangals, and till that day I wasn't even aware that these things are not eaten all over Bengal. I felt cornered and could not answer, since I wasn't prepared for it. It is hard for some people to even imagine how a simple joke can scar somebody, that too when it deals with the grim history of partition and colonialism. But as I grew up and started mixing with other cultures from all over the world, I felt proud that we Bangals believed in zero-waste policy for ages. My Amma (grandmother) used to make such good lau khoshar chhechki, machher kata chochchori, aloor khosha bhaja and so on..and the recipes were lovingly passed on to my mother. I am so thankful to Bong Eats and Pritha Sen for discussing these topics and showcasing these recipes to keep them alive, even after all the backlash you all face (I noticed some similar comments on your Magher Muluk posts). It is high time these ignorant people get to know of these treasures, and people like us can recreate the magic of our mothers and grandmothers.
Agreed. Also, tell them it's a "zero waste" kitchen before "sustainability" was even coined as a word.
je kono jinish ei ami amar moto pride ta khub important. noito loke bolbe 'o boring classical music shone', 'o museum jai', 'o mod khai na', 'o shutki khai', 'o hindi/english bangla accent die bole'. Fundamentalism ki ar khali dhormo, Economics , lean ei achhe - sarbatra ache. kajei 'tumio koti matra bastrabrita hoiya bolo murkho, daridra,bramhan, shudra bharatbasi amar rakto amar bhai'
That part where Saptarshi gets reprimanded by ma'am saying "aaro gol karo" is so reminiscent of us trying to cook in the tutelage of the strict mashis, maimas and kakimas who are very particular of the shapes and sizes and the ingredients. Thoroughly enjoyed!
I’m a Bengali born and brought up in Gujarat. I was amazed to see ‘chaaler ruti’ made by my gujarati friends who came from rural areas. Food has no boundaries at all 😊
Totally agree, I am a bengali brought up in Gujarat.
Marathis and south indians do too
I am a Bengali and chaler ruti was part of the regular sick diet at our home. :)
I am absolutely fascinated by this episode❤️
Pritha mam reminded me of my dida. She used to make what she called "chhitar ruti and hansher jhol".
I am a bengali muslim and mosur dal is always cooked with piyaj in our household.
Its soooo beautiful how we all celebrate our rich bengali culture with these exotic foods❤️
This episode is one of a kind. Extremely enriching and relatable to people of East Bengal origin.
Pritha di's description of the influences that has shaped Bengali cuisine down the ages is absolutely correct. Truly Bengali food is the first example of global food as the ingredients and influnces have been absorbed and assimilated from very diverse cultures all over the world and is therefore very unique and also varies from place to place, home to home. Also it is important to understand that Bengali cuisine has an outreach as far as the Bengal Presidency during British era.
Thank you for sharing these recipes. This dal is a staple in my husbands family who hail from Chittagong and strangely enough this masoor dal is cooked in our home too. I learnt this dal recipe from my mom who is bengali born and brought up in Lucknow. I grew up in Canada and taught this to my children born and brought up here. I love family recipes.
Tomader shob ranna ghore ke episodes guloi khub khub bhalo tawbe having grown up in a colony-para culture, I was exposed to a lot of different types of zero waste and indeginous cooking that intrigued me and formed the base of my love for cooking and food, tai hoytoh today's episode resonated with me much more. Thank you Saptarshi and Insiya for sharing such meaningful and insightful conversations that we can connect with much more in today's times when content has become only a visual treat. Dekchi,bhalo lagche kintu bhabache na..
I know Pritha di from a FB food group. Those people couldn't appreciate her cooking but I was always fascinated by her simple, soulful dishes. I love bengali cuisine.
What a lady she is. Love the way she intelligently answered all the questions. A truly meaningful and insightful conversation. And that khoi bora is just another level. Will try.
শেষে ধোঁয়া ওঠা ভাতের সঙ্গে আকর্ষণীয় পদগুলোর ছবি দেখেই জিভে জল এলো। মনে হয় এইখানেই এই এপিসোডের সাফল্য। ❤❤
Mular patori ekta durdanto khete jinish. Ami amar thammar(Grand mother) theke sikhechi , who was a Bikrampuri lady from Dhaka. Even, ei daal ranna ta o ami thammi thekei sikhechi. Loved this show, in fact any Bong Eats show itself is beloved, treat to the ears and eyes. I absolutely agree with Pritha Sen Madam, regarding stress buster with cooking.
This episode is so nostalgic for me. I was newly married and the first item my husband wanted me to learn from his thamma (grandmother) was a dal, masoor dal recipe and thamma was 90+ at that time. She sat on a mura and gave directions and I cooked. One of the best dal I had tasted, dry and slow cooked by adding water every now and then. Thank you Bong eats 🧡🧡🧡
I regularly make ‘Phulkopir Kamolaronjini’ as my grandmother used to call it! I don’t know whom she learnt it from and how the recipe came to our family, but it is a treasured dish that everyone unanimously loves! ❤
Thank you for this episode, @bongeats!
এই এপিসোডটা আমি পর পর ২ বার দেখলাম ! খুবই অনবদ্য! এত সাবলীল, সুন্দর একটা পরিবেশে রান্না ও আড্ডা , দারুণ লাগল! অনেক কিছু শিখলাম। আমার পার্টনার নিরামিষাশী এবং বিগত ৭ বছর ভেগান। কিন্তু ওর জন্য রান্না করতে আমাকে বেগ পেতে হয়নি কারণ সাধারণ বাঙালি বাড়ির রান্নারই অনেক অপশন পাই। কিন্তু একটু বৈচিত্র্য আনার একটা চ্যালেঞ্জ নিয়ে আমি আরও রান্না ঘা৺টতে থাকি , যা বাঙালি তথা ভারতীয় যা সমস্ত নিরামিষ (দুধ/ঘী/ছানা বাদ দিয়েও) রান্নার জগত খুলে দিয়েছে তাক লেগে যাবার মতন! মূলত বাঙালি রান্নাই খাই আমরা যদিও। পৃথা সেনকে দেখে আমার নিজের বড়মাসির কথা আজকে খুব মনে পড়ল - বিশেষত এই ভিসুয়াল মাপ এবং প্রাচীন zero waste concept even before sustainability was a thing 😊 Thank you for this marvelous episode!
Pritha Sen er ranna r tar sange golpo eto eto bhalo legeche video ti ekbar dekhe asha meteni.Onake onek onek 🙏🙏🙏
This video has something else. After so many years I have seen these kind of beautiful videos. I can relate many things from this video. Just love it.
So enjoyed this episode! Although I watched all of the Rannaghore Ke episodes, this one and the one with Abhijeet Banerjee stand out for me. Like I watched the Abhijeet Banerjee episode multiple times, I will watch this one again (and again) in future for sure. Kudos to both of you for always maintaining very high standards with your videos!!
Amazing episode. Do bring her back as it's great to know more about our heritage
Just a few days ago I was searching for new episodes of Rannaghore ke! Absolutely love this series 😍... Love from Rajasthan ❤... Can't wait for you guys to make an episode on marwari cuisine🥰
How wonderful to see dear Pritha here! You rock girl! 🎉🎉
Amazing! So happy to see Pritha di here! ❤❤❤
Perhaps one of the best epiisodes, after the one with Abhishek Bannerjee. Pritha Sen is a wonderful story teller and she keeps the viewer/listener with her descriptions. I am a Tamilian who knows Hindi, but I was able to follow Bengali and the subtitles also helped. Amazing episode!
The best episode ever! Loved the items and the clarity with Pritha di shared her thoughts.
So nicely said " the food habits are not politically bound, they are ethnically and regionally connected"😊😊
Thoroughly enjoyed this episode! Also, the comment section brings out so many great food stories! ami abhibhuto dekhe. Bongeats ke onek dhonnobaad!
This is the best episode of Rannaghore Ke. Thank you for bringing Pritha Sen to the show

Watching this from London. So fascinating to hear both of you talk about your food history and technical foundations. I hope to visit and taste amazing Bengali food like this.
She is so amazing..... loved the episode...
Has to be my favourite episode i love learning about bengali history through food she was such a delight to watch
I've been waiting for long time for a new episode of this series. Unlike others this one is also lit. What I love about this series is the conversation with the guest during cooking. This time the cooking part is more fascinating than the past ones. So many lovely cuisines in a single episode!!❤
loved the episode Prithadi love you
This was the best episode till date.
She is soooo sweet,and made so valid points
Excellent as always ... Pritha Sen rocks.
অসাধারণ লাগল,,অনেক কিছু জানলাম ও শিখলাম 👌👌❤️❤️
A total vegetarian meal.. Absolutely loved watching it..sad that Bengalis get branded as only fish eaters.. This episode is a lesson for anyone who wants to educate themselves on how nuanced this truly global cuisine is..
In love with this woman❤️
Loved every bit of it...learned and unlearned or as Pritha di said in the episode,humbled about our Bangla khabar!!! Keep up the good work!!
I really enjoyed it. i am a B-tech student and i stay in a hostel with my two friend , And i have to cook everyday for us.
I have been doing this for the past 2 years. While doing this, I started to like cooking . Along with that my interest was starting to grow on the field of cooking, food culture & there history. Eventually I discovered that Cooking has become my hobby.
My mother always used to say that too much oil and spices can't makes food tastier, in that time I could not agree with her , but now i can relate with that. for example my mother used to cook a type of "chara machher jhol" with minimal ingredients like "panch phoron" and cumin paste believe me it's test is mind blowing . not only "chara machher jhol" but " tel koi" is also there , she made it with four ingredients(guro lonka, lobon , holud aar sorser tel) , but it really makes the magic.
this is the magic of the foods made in bengali house holds by our mother.
Lovely lovey episode. Thank you
সত্যি বলছি অনেক দিন পরে এমন একটা vlog দেখে খুব ভালো লাগলো।। সব কিছুই অনেক টা সত্যি। ❤

I want to thank you guys for showing us such wonderful recipes through Bongeats channel. To be honest, I have started gaining interest in these older techniques of cooking through your videos and people around me love when I cook one of your recipes! Keep up the good work guys.
❤for both of you.
প্রত্যেকটা রান্না খুব সুন্দর হয়েছে।কমলা রঞ্জনি আমার দিদা করতেন❤❤❤
Such a lovely episode this is. Lots of love (from Arundhati and Soumya) to Bong Eats (plus, Ms. Pritha Sen) from Limerick 🇮🇪 Oftentimes we keep getting absolutely amazed by the content’s depth in this channel 🙏😊 Please keep on streaming such great work!
I have worked with her in real time at The Oberoi Gurgaon during on of her bengali food promotions, she is a gem of a person.
Loved this episode, just excellent. Please can you bring Asma Khan owner of Darjeeling express London, she has a Kolkata connection and Isha Katona owner of Mowgli Restaurant chain in UK. She is a Bengali and really a big name in UK food industry.
Just giving you suggestions, sorry if you don’t like it.
so much to learn! great episode 🙂
Loved this. Chumki, your koi’er bora reminded me of my Singapore trip. And, your scolding for perfection 😅
Ami onar sob logic gulo mante parlam. Gravy thickening toh kaju and chalmogoj diyeo hoy. Bohu mondire niramish khabar oibhabei banano hoy commercially. Tomato is also a thickening agent, curd is also a thickening agent, milk is also a thickening agent. Udipi te je ranna hoy segulo sob piyaz roshun chara. Amader nijeder cuisine er proti kono shroddha nei tai bibhinno bahana
Myself being a Railways kid, Chittaranjan r Kharagpur, duto jayga tei onek bochhor katiyechhi. Khub relate korte parlam.
Darun. Enjoyed it
"Food is not politically bound" Waah such an emotion. ❤❤❤
Welcome back ♥️
Don’t see the subtitles for the Bengali part.
PS: Thank you so much for continuing this channel❤ Love your work!
Uploading subtitles very soon!
Hello! They're up now :)
How beautifully Pritha di elucidates why can't we have a good Bengali restaurant. Our home Bengali food is far superior to that of the restaurant and that's sad.
Darun laglo
I love to cook and your videos are my constant source of inspiration! Ekta request.. appam ba soru chakli r recipe share korbe please! I have failed multiple times following some online recipes and really need your input!
অসাধারণ ❤
Great Video!!
She is such a sweet lady aro dekhte chai onak tomader channel e
❤oooh Dal is majestic❤
Just wanted to know how Bengali cuisine is influenced by the food traditions of neighbouring Odisha and Bihar. Would love it if Prithaji or someone else discussed this.
Pritha Sen says the hardest truth “foods should not be bounded by politically “ ❤
This dal is my fav too , my mother recipe & now I realise her family was from chottogram. I put a lill pepper too in the dal . And it's my fav
Ai re aamar maa ai musur dal ta banay, since my childhood I eat this dal. From Assam ( we r from opar bangla)
