When we talk of chicken momos, puritans would debate that the authentic version is always the steamed one. Needless to say, steamed chicken momos are often regarded as the healthier option and has a strong following among those who prioritise healthy eating without compromising on the flavour. The steaming process retains the natural flavours and moisture of the chicken filling, resulting in a light and succulent bite.

On the other hand, fried chicken momos offer an entirely different sensory experience. The crispy exterior provides a delightful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the soft filling. Besides, who can forget a Bengali’s indomitable love for fried food? The frying process allows for a richer flavour, often enhanced with spices that seep into the dough, creating a savoury treat that is hard to resist.

Then which one should you have during your Durga Puja celebrations? We suggest you have a bit of both!

With Keventer Chicken Momos, you can experiment all you want! These ready-to-cook chicken momos take only 5-7 minutes to make. Take them out from the freezer, place them in a pre-heated steamer, and you’re done! Serve these steamed dumplings as a delightful Durga Puja snack with some spicy sauce.

Instead of steaming, you can also drop Keventer Chicken Momos in a pan of oil and deep fry until a beautiful, golden brown. Try going a step further by lightly tossing the fried chicken momos with some chopped onions, garlic, spring onions and capsicum.

Whichever version of this Bengali favourite you decide to try, rest assured you’ll enjoy a delicious festive time with our Keventer Chicken Momos. Buy it from Swiggy Instamart today!

As the days of the festival unfold, the kitchens of Bengali homes become bustling hubs of activity. The aroma of spices fills the air as the holiday season brings a reason for the quintessential ‘Bangali’ to take a break from his or her otherwise hectic daily life and cook up a storm to satisfy the stomach and the heart, alike. Khichuri, the one-pot meal made from a blend of rice and lentils, finds a special place among Durga Puja recipes. This humble yet flavourful dish, especially when made with fresh green peas, adds a deliciously warm touch to the festivities.

Not all get a chance to drop into their ‘para (neighbourhood)’ pandal to feast on the Bhoger Khichuri (dish offered to the deity). Sometimes, even if there is a chance, people would rather give it a miss due to the scorching heat of Bengali afternoons. However, the occasion is such that without the Khichuri, Durga Puja celebrations seem incomplete. This is simply one of those Bengali dishes you can’t miss during Durga Puja!

The Bangali indulges himself or herself by making this Durga Puja special dish at home. Besides, the ‘Koraishuti/Matarshuti diye Khichuri (Peas Khichuri)’ is so easy to make that even a child can cook it! Into a pot goes a little bit of ghee. Once it turns hot, cumin seeds, bay leaves and dry red chillis are thrown in. Some ginger paste and chopped tomatoes follow suit, along with basic spices, and sugar and salt to taste.

A little simmering later, cups of water are poured in and some moong dal, chopped potatoes and Gobindobhog rice are added to the pot. The mixture is then boiled and when the ingredients are partially cooked, the green peas are added. Once cooked, teaspoonfuls of garam masala and oodles of ghee are added to the pot for the final touch.

Your mouth’s already watering, isn’t it? So is ours!

The festive season has already set in so grab Keventer Green Peas from Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart, or BigBasket right away! Get the pot ready to make the best Durga Puja food that comforts your soul, at home.

As the air fills up with the smell of Shiuli ‘Phool (flower)’, the ‘Kash Phool (Kans Grass)’ pops up here and there, Bengal gets decked up to celebrate its most extravagant event of the year. As is ritual, pandals across the state and especially in Kolkata will get flooded with enthusiastic pandal hoppers and evenings will end with joyous get-togethers. Family and friends will return to the city and guests will start pouring into your home. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could treat them to something traditional yet something homemade?

This Durga Puja, pleasantly surprise your guests with some of Bengal’s best desserts made at home. All you need are packs of Keventer Metro Cow Milk or Keventer Metro Rich Milk and a few basic ingredients.

Before you start making these sweet Bengali milk dishes, the first thing you need to do is boil the milk and add some lemon juice or vinegar to make some ‘chhena (cottage cheese)’. Hang the ‘chhena’ in a cotton cloth and let the water drain out. There! Your key ingredient is ready for one…two…three.. oh so many easy DIY Bengali sweets!

Begin with the ‘Roshogolla’. Yes! Bangalis don’t call it Rasgulla because they fill the sweet with the ‘Rosh of labh (the syrup of love)’! The art of making it right, lies in kneading the ‘chhena’ right and turning it into perfectly round balls. Boil it in some thick syrup made of sugar and water, and you’re done!

Don’t forget to try the Chhanar payesh – the traditional Bengali kheer made with cottage cheese and thick cow milk.

If you want to appear all fancy, Sandesh is your next level up. BTW, Kalakand isn’t as tough to make as you think.

However, if you do not want to go through the trouble of making cottage cheese but still prepare a delicious sweet dish at home, we have another milk recipe up our sleeve! Simply make the Chaaler Payesh (traditional Bengali Kheer made of rice).

Which one of these special Durga Puja desserts will you try this festive season? Whichever idea you go for don’t forget to shop for Keventer Metro Cow Milk or Keventer Metro Rich Milk from Blinkit.

It is an age-old traditional practice in Bengali households to carry huge earthen post of Mishti Doi when visiting friends or family, during Durga Puja. The dessert acts as a befitting gift, fostering joyous moments of togetherness, whether on Sashti, when the Puja’s begin, or on Bijoya Dashami, when the celebrations come to an end.

This sweet yoghurt bears religious significance too. Mishti Doi is offered to the deity as a part of ritualistic practices with utmost reverence. It is a cultural tradition to serve Mishti Doi as the dessert at the end of the traditional ‘Bhog’ organised in Puja pandals. Walk into a pandal on a lazy Durga Puja afternoon and you’ll witness someone or the other from the pandal locality, sitting on a typical plastic chair, and relishing a Keventer Metro Mishti Doi cup with not a care in the world!

And that is how every Durga Puja celebration is meant to be—sweet, refreshing, and a much-awaited break from the monotony of daily life. However, what is strange to notice is that a practice which started eons ago, continues to sustain even after years of modernisation. From Baby Boomers to Gen Alpha, this sweet yoghurt has a huge fan following across generations!

So, as you step into this year’s festivities, don’t forget to add Keventer Metro Mishti Doi to your special Durga Puja food menu whether as a traditional practice or simply because you love this delight! Buy it from your nearest grocery store and give all your grand puja feasts a sweet ending.
