“Even though we undergo healthy diet or gobble continental, Chinese food throughout the year, the day of Poila Boisakh always draws us to the aura of nostalgia that we tend to content through our age-old Bengali dishes. Saptapadi has come up with this menu to evoke that emotion of Bengalis which is gradually fading away with the influence of modern culture”, said Chef Ranjan Biswas, partner, Saptapadi.
The Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution on Thursday said the national consumer helpline (NCH) has achieved unprecedented success in the north-eastern region with Arunachal Pradesh recording a significant surge in consumer grievance registrations and resolutions.
Food is more than just sustenance. It is a reflection of culture, identity and power. In India, where diversity is celebrated in theory, the politics of food has become a battleground, exposing deep-seated societal hierarchies and divisions.
