Golpo: Culinary Stories & Curated Experiences

Golpo is a food-culture project where I explore the stories, migrations and memories that shape what we eat. It began as a page to document my research on cuisine, culture and identity, and has since grown into a platform that brings people together through food and storytelling.

Through Golpo, I curate immersive culinary experiences. From intimate supper clubs to larger pop-ups and community events. Each experience is designed to highlight how dishes travel, how flavours carry history, and how shared meals can open conversations about belonging, displacement and cultural exchange.

Golpo sits at the intersection of research, design and culinary practice. It’s a space where I experiment with formats, collaborate with cooks and creatives, and create events that are as much about connection as they are about food.

DM “SOUL” for ticket link. For many of us, Diwali away from home can feel quiet - a video call instead of a family dinner, a single candle instead of the sound of laughter. Soul of Diwali is our way of bringing that warmth back. Join u
Bengali Pulao and Rosun Methi (Garlic-fenugreek seed) Chicken Some recipes stay with you not because they’re fancy — but because they remind you of people, of time. This one’s straight from those Barrackpore days. We were 7 or 8 o
কুমড়ো আলু চিংড়ি · Kumro Aloo Chingri Every Bengali knows this dish — kumro aloo chingri. It’s the kind of meal that instantly feels like home. Sweet pumpkins, waxy potatoes, a handful of prawns, and that unmistakable kick from m

Festivities. Food. Fish. Fried. For Bengalis: Fish Fry. These crispy battered ginger garlic chilli lime marinated fish is the ultimate fried snack. Also love friends who just simply put in their creativity to make food look so good. I cooked. The

This brunch was basically one of those MasterChef challenges. Surprise ingredients from the fridge and pantry. And me trying to making it work without shopping. So, Begun Bharta or Bengali Baba Ganoush. Mashed aubergine got paanch foron, mustard
August Adda Brunch. This brunch began as nothing more than a very last-minute plan. A table of five, an invitation sent out without much thought. Supper clubs are often weeks of planning, shopping, prepping, and cooking. This one wasn’t. It w

Digging into the family album is one thing. Posting it on the internet? Whole different nerve. But since Golpo is about stories, here I am baring it all, vintage-photo style. অন্নপ্রাশন (Annoprashon). my first bite of solid food (rice, of course), w
