Chana’r Dalna or homemade cottage cheese kofta curry from few weeks ago.

Chenna, a fresh and unripened curd cheese, is a fundamental ingredient in a variety of beloved Bengali dishes and sweets. Made by curdling milk with an acidic agent like lemon juice/ vinegar or curd, fresh chenna is soft and crumbly, perfect for kneading into a smooth, pliable dough for making sweets or in this case, a curry of Chenna dumplings/patties.

Channa’r Dalna is one of the tasty and unique curry from the Bengali cuisine. It is a wonderfully delicious vegetarian or ‘niramish’ dish made with Chenna and potatoes & a complex flavored thin gravy that has no onion or garlic! Making them always takes me back to my mother’s kitchen where I learnt to cook at a very early age, under her gentle guidance.

If you missed out on them, keep a lookout for when I feature them again in my weekend menu.

Ujjayini always brings you fresh food using fresh ingredients & traditional recipes.

This week’s menu celebrates Bengali favourites for Friday & popular North Indian dishes for Saturday.

I believe Food plays a central role in bringing people together. It can serve as a catalyst for conversation, a reason to gather, and a source of comfort or celebration. With that in mind, my menu for each day is carefully designed around flavour profiles, cultural themes & deeper connection with the spices/ingredients are used. I aim at giving you a meal experience that is wholesome & satisfying from start to finish.

Remember to order by Thursday midday for your chance to taste some authentic Indian food, homemade by a home cook who wants you to enjoy them in the comfort of your own home.

Friday night meal from Ujjayini -
Creamy & buttery Dal Makhani, spicy & flavoursome Kadhai Paneer & aromatic & wholesome Chicken Kofta.
And the Optional Extra - tangy & spicy Phuchka

27/08/2026

Phuchka is not just a culinary delight. It is a destination in itself. It is about street corners, friendships, emotions, nostalgia, simple pleasures & is a quintessential Bengali ‘fast food’ found in most neighbourhoods. A crisp fried hollow ball, filled with spicy peas and potatoes, topped with tangy tamarind water is an explosion of complex flavour in the mouth.

Phuchka is so delicious that it is unanimously loved by all South Asians. It does go by various other names. Aside from phuchka, the two most common names are pani puri and golgappa. Pani puri is the most recognized name in west and south India as well as the rest of the world, while golgappa is more popular in northern India and Pakistan. It’s called phuchka (phooch-kaa) in Bangladesh, Nepal, and eastern Indian states like Jharkhand, West Bengal and Bihar.

The Bengali version of Phuchka does differ from pani puri or golgappa in its content and taste. Phuchka shells are slightly bigger in size and much darker in color. Unlike the rest, which has chickpeas or white peas in it’s filling with a side of spicy green mint-coriander water, yellow mango water or even yogurt, phuchka specifically has to have yellow peas in the filling along with potato and a red tamarind water that is both spicy and tangy. Regardless of the slight variations, at the end of the day, they are all equally delectable in taste.

Phuchka featured as an optional extra in this week’s Friday menu from Ujjayini. If you missed out on them this week, keep a lookout for when I include them again in the coming weeks.

When it’s a weekend and the heart desires street food that’s bursting with flavour & hits just the right spots!
Pork & Veg Pot Stickers made from scratch & thoroughly enjoyed the process, too. Huge shoutout to Elina Saha for meticulously doing the folding & pinching. After many a trial & error & pouring over numerous recipes, we finally got it right where the filling was moist & juicy & the dumpling wrappers were silky, smooth & not hard or doughy.
Every mouthful was a delight especially with the chilli-garlic dipping sauce.

Should they feature in Ujjayini menu in future?
