Gather around your close ones for a hearty lunch. Our recommendation for the day, Tulaipanji atap with Bengali-style mutton-and-potato curry. The subtly fragrant rice pairs delightfully well with the lightly spiced mutton and pillowy potatoes.
about the rice
Tulaipanji is rightly one of the better known folk rice varieties of Bengal, so much so that it has earned itself a GI tag. The aromatic rice variety is slender, firm with a good bite and delightfully mellow. Apart from its flavoursome characteristics, Tulaipanji is much appreciated for its pest resistance.
