We Calcuttans have a tendency to make everything about food and Holi or Dol as we call it is no different. Ofcourse it’s about colours, euphoria and celebrations but for the average Bengali it’s also about Mongshor Jhol or Mutton Curry paired with a plate of white rice, followed by our favourite afternoon siesta.

That’s the best way to spend Dol and it has always been, but looking around our office we saw that a lot of our gang won’t be able to go back home for Dol this year to enjoy this ritual. This got us thinking and we realised that our fondest memory of Dol is running back home through colour washed streets yearning for Mongshor Jhol and Bhaat.

We also realised that for most of us this ritual hit different when we were kids. It was decided right there that this Dol we were bringing this idea to life and the team put together this short tribute to our favourite Doler Mangshor Jhol.

Also, Calcuttan or not, if you do not have hard plans we strongly suggest trying out our Dol lunch for yourself. We assure you it’s going to become your annual Dol ritual.

Shubho Dol Purnima and ofcourse Happy Holi!!
