The city is already lit up in festive fervour to usher in Puja after a bleak two years. Helping foodies keep their stomachs filled and happy is Lord of the Drinks’ new puja menu. With a range of colourful and flavoursome dishes, the pub is ready to host its guests for the festive season. Kacher Manush stars Dev and Prosenjit were present for the launch of the menu as well.
“This year’s Lord Durga Puja menu was launched by none other than our all-time favourite superstars Prosenjit, lovingly addressed as Bumbada and Dev on the occasion of the launch of their most awaited movie, Kacher Manush. The special Puja menu has been designed this year keeping the local flavours of India in mind and giving it our own fusion twist! Our favourites are the succulent Kerala Mutton Ghee Roast Bao, Chettinad Chicken Quesadilla, Lord Seafood Platter, the delicious Kolkata inspired dishes such as the Kosha Mangsho On Toast, Fried Kasundi Bhetki and much more to choose from. We also have a very special dessert named after the movie, ‘Kacher Manush’ (Tender Coconut Rasmalai). Puja in Kolkata is a much-awaited time for all to revel in, get together, celebrate, and eat out,” said Vanita Bajoria, owner, Lord of the Drinks.
