And a few weeks back, I did just that at one of my favourites — Tarun Niketan in the Lake Market area — and the focus of this article. Treat this meal as a vintage of wine, because when all the right factors come together magically, a meal at Tarun Niketan is simply undeniable. I almost always begin at Tarun Niketan with shukto as theirs has the flavours and textures of a biyebari version, but without any of the heaviness. The bhaaja department is one that Tarun Niketan really excels at because they always look beyond just the jhuri-aloo, begun and potol. And that’s telling thing about the cooking hand behind the Tarun Niketan ranna and recipes.
