Even their Alu posto was quite sad.
last time i was in delhi my parents took me to this restaurant in nehru place, "calcutta club" or something. posh, "calcutta cuisine" (thus not just bengali) and i think we had both mochar ghonto and alu poshto. i thought it was pretty good. steamed dahi alu with a bit of methi seeds. and also some other stuff i can't remember. not sure if i had chhanar dalna, which is a favourite of mine, and i do cook that. alu poshto though, i have made here, you can even get jhinga (tori / ridge gourd) here, though typically they're more frequently available in the chinese stores than in the (punjabi) indian/pakistani ones. -rishab
