Sonar Tori at City Centre Salt Lake is celebrating summer and the onset of monsoon with the king of fruits, with Aamer Utsav, which is on till July 15. This food fest has been curated with the lost recipes of Bengali cuisine amalgamated with mangoes. From chicken to fish, each and every dish has been exquisitely created using mangoes with different flavours. Whether it’s Aam Achar Bhetki Bhapa, Aam Dal or Aam Doi, the dishes are made with both raw and ripe mangoes.
“With Aamer Utsav, we have tried to bring nostalgia to the plates by making every dish with the seasonal mango. We have created all the dishes on the menu with natural products like the aamer achar, which is housemade. We want our patrons to visit Sonar Tori to experience our homely and flavourful mango creations,” said Chef Bhaskar Dasgupta of Sonar Tori. Here are some of The Telegraph’s picks from the menu.
Aam Kashundi Murgi is chicken quenelles tossed with sweet mango kashundi sauce to give you that sweet and tangy flavour. Rs 339
If you want something light to go with your steamed rice in the afternoon, try the Mocha Aam Shol, which is a sweet-and-sour banana flower broth. Rs 319
A bowl of hot mutton gravy is what a Bengali soul craves on a rainy afternoon. Hence try Aam Achar Mangsho made with homemade raw mango pickle. Rs 649
Dig into the sinful Aam Doi, which is simply mangoflavoured yoghurt. Rs 109
