Resident Spotlight - The "Tastes of Malhar" group | Bidisha Ganguly

Bidisha Ganguly, a resident of Malhar Medley, enjoys cooking because she enjoys eating. It really is as simple as that. She grew up in Calcutta, a city known for taking its gastronomic urges to the level of decadence. And so, she cooked… from street to swanky, with a little bit of Calcutta and Bangladesh (formerly East Bengal) in every dish she tries her hand at from her home kitchen. What began as a therapeutic journey during the pandemic, soon became aspirational, with the encouragement from the community, giving her the confidence to expand beyond Malhar. She cooks a range of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes from East and West Bengal regions, has a weakness for Chinese cuisine and plans to open a very ‘fishy’ cloud kitchen soon in Bangalore. She enjoys the reading and research, from etymological origin of various culinary phrases to common myths and practices across Indian kitchens. As they say, “Cooking is love made visible” and one of the greatest delights for her during the dismal days of the pandemic, was to read her customer feedbacks, drawing inspiration from their kind words to carry on with her kitchen story.
