Amar Khamar Family Table is here with a Chiti Kankra Edition.


 A special showcase where our producers take centre stage. And this one’s extra special as we have the mother-daughter duo Aparna and Rekha together! 

Aparna, has been one of our long-time producer partners, who has worked with us from the very begining. Rekha, then a little girl who has grown and now taken up a prominent place in the kitchen as chef, creating wonders with the very produce she has seen her family grow her whole life. 

For this 2nd edition, Rekha shares her fondest memories of Chiti Kankra, as she and Aparna bring you the best of this seasonal delicacy. 

Available today and tomorrow

The 2nd edition of our Family Table is here!

We believe that there is no good food without good ingredients. Our food at the restaurant too is produce-forward, and hence producer-led. All our ingredient partners have been working with us for years, making them a part of the Amar Khamar family. Together, we strive towards our common cause of biodiversity and sustainability - for the planet, for the farmers and for all of us.

With this, we celebrate our producers and the food that they cook. For themselves and their families. And now for us at the Amar Khamar Family table.

This time we have Aparna, one of the foundational women farmers from Sundarbans, who have been working with us for a decade now. And now her younger daughter Rekha too is a part of the Amar Khamar family as a chef in our kitchen.

This weekend they are cooking up an experience of the very seasonal Sundrabans specialty - Chiti Kankra.

A foraged and local delicacy awaits you at Amar Khamar!

For the first time at Amar Khamar!

One of Bengal’s four rice varieties with a Geographical Indication (GI) tag, this rice is incredibly special. To quote the nineteenth-century British administrator and historian W. W. Hunter, the word Radhunipagal translates as ‘that which maddens the cook’ and ‘implies that cooks cannot restrain themselves from indulging in such aromatic rice’.  

Radhunipagal is an heirloom rice that is one of Bengal’s prized aromatic varieties, fit for indulgent celebrations!

Single-origin heirloom, nature friendly and cultivated with love!

Radhunipagal now available at amar-khamar.com.

Amar Khamar Reads!

Books are a significant instrument of our conversations about Bengal’s incredible culinary landscape and what we can do to consciously preserve for the future. Hence, we continue to curate books that give readers a chance to understand the depth of history that exists in how we eat today. 

Every month we will highlight specially selected books at Amar Khamar to engage curious minds. A space to satiate minds and palates! 

And this month we are reading Alpana Ghosh’s Randhan Padaboli. A book tracing the socio -cultural, and historical nuances of kitchens and homes of Bengal.

Author Alpana Ghosh was introduced to the world of culinary art through her mother and grandmother, and continues to explore this incredible world of flavours and stories.

This is more than a recipe book but a detailed understanding of Bengal’s kitchens and culture.

Fresh, seasonal and delicious 🥭 🍎 🍌🍐

In Bengal we call it Pholahar! Long before the trending bowls, we had the Pholahar as part of our social and seasonal fabric. Its relevance is significant in religious as well as everyday well-being. A meal served in combination with fruits is known as Pholahar. 

Knacha is indicative of uncooked ingredients such as chire, doi & murki, served with the juiciest of fruits. While paka pholahar comprises of dishes cooked with fruits. 

We are serving both knacha & paka pholahar this weekend at Amar Khamar. 

Come experience summer at its best. 

Weekend Special at Amar Khamar. 
21B Hindustan Road
12:30 - 10:00 p.m.

New bori at Amar Khamar!

Bengali kitchens have always embraced sustainability, with nothing going to waste. Boris are a prime example of the ingenious skills of women in Bengal who handmake these lentil dumplings that can last through months and add depth of flavour to any dish! Years of experience makes this an art form, where the batter is beaten by hand to make it just the right amount of light and airy, that makes the bori irresistibly crispy when fried.   

Our two new bori are made from a mixture of kolai dal and seasonal root vegetables, making each bori unique in taste and texture. 

Kolai Dal-Mankochu and Kolai Dal - Kham Aalu Bori now available on amar-khamar.com and 21B Hindustan Road.

The prized Kohitoor has made its way to Amar Khamar!

Rare and expensive, this variety comfortably wears the crown in the orchards of Murshidabad.

Developed in the 18th century during the reign of Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah, it was created by horticulturist Hakim Ada Mohammadi through cross-breeding a now-extinct Kalopahar mango with another variety. It was initially exclusive to royal households and wealthy Sheherwali Jain merchants.

This delicate and priceless variety is now facing extinction as there are hardly many growers left with very little chance of finding these mangoes in the mainstream market.

Come experience a taste of the Nawabi orchards from Murshidabad at Amar Khamar.

Limited seats only. Today and tomorrow.

Call +91 6290787934 to book your spot.
