There’s pandal hopping, sure, and then there is this. Alfresco lunch on a stormy Nabami afternoon in the lush greenery of Jiraan The Retreat.

In the photo: A quintessentially Bengali thali with a melt in your mouth mutton curry slow cooked in a clay pot over wood fire. The rich and slightly smoky taste haunts my taste buds. Sigh.
