Durga Puja is a time for coming together, and at Chourangi, the celebration finds its way to the table through a specially curated festive menu inspired by the flavours of Calcutta.
For those looking to experience Durga Puja through food in London, Chourangi’s special menu brings together some of the city’s most loved culinary traditions with an elegant contemporary dining experience.
From the unmistakable crunch of Phuchka to Calcutta Fish Fry, Prawn Malai Curry, Fish Paturi and a rich Nolen Gur Cheesecake, this is a menu designed especially for the festive season.
A Durga Puja Menu Made for the Occasion
A special occasion deserves a special menu.
Chourangi’s Durga Puja offering has been created as a complete festive dining experience, with separate vegetarian and non-vegetarian menus, allowing guests to enjoy the celebration in their own way.
The Vegetarian Menu is priced at £49, while the Non-Vegetarian Menu is £59.
And both begin with a selection of dishes that immediately bring the spirit of Calcutta to London.
The Vegetarian Celebration
The vegetarian menu opens with:
- Phuchka
- Cottage Cheese on Toast
- Banana Blossom Galouti with Paratha
- Enoki Mushroom Bhaja
It is a combination that moves from the unmistakable street-food character of Phuchka to more contemporary interpretations of Indian ingredients.
For the main course, the menu continues with:
- Pot Roasted Jackfruit
- Cauliflower Rezala
- Aam Kasundi Bhindi
- Hing Aloor Dum
- Chickpea Dal with Coconut
- Cashew Nut Raisin Pulao
- Green Peas Kachori
Together, these dishes create a generous vegetarian spread that feels distinctly festive.
A Non-Vegetarian Menu for Bengali Food Lovers
For those looking for a richer celebration, the non-vegetarian menu adds some particularly memorable dishes.
The starters include Phuchka, Imperial Baked Crab, Calcutta Fish Fry and Kosha Murgo on Toast.
The mains then take the menu deeper into the flavours associated with Bengali cooking:
Fish Paturi / Fish Kaalia
Prawn Malai Curry
Railway Lamb Curry / Chicken Rezala
Alongside these are Chickpea Dal with Coconut, Hing Aloor Dum, Cashew Nut Raisin Pulao and Green Peas Kachori.
It is the kind of menu designed for a long festive meal—different textures, seafood, meat, vegetables, rice and classic Indian accompaniments coming together on one table.
And Then, Nolen Gur Cheesecake
No festive menu is complete without dessert.
Chourangi closes its Durga Puja menu with Nolen Gur Cheesecake, bringing the distinctive flavour of nolen gur into a contemporary dessert.
It is an especially fitting ending to a menu inspired by Calcutta: familiar Bengali flavour, presented through a modern London dining experience.
Why This Durga Puja Menu Is Worth Experiencing
What makes this a special Durga Puja menu in London is its sense of occasion.
This isn’t simply the restaurant’s regular menu with a few festive additions.
It brings together dishes specifically suited to a celebration—from Phuchka and Calcutta Fish Fry to Fish Paturi, Prawn Malai Curry, Hing Aloor Dum and Nolen Gur Cheesecake.
For anyone who has grown up celebrating Durga Puja, the menu can offer a taste of familiar flavours.
For those discovering the festival and Bengali cuisine for the first time, it offers an introduction through food.
