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.

Bengal’s incredible depth of produce and biodiversity continues to inspire us and what we do. And this has led to our recent work with preservation of heirloom varieties of mangoes from Murshidabad. An endeavour to continue the legacy of the orchards of Bengal.

Small steps in our larger vision to contribute to the preservation of culinary cultures, biodiversity and natural farming.

An ode of love to summer’s favourite fruit 💛

New rice at Amar Khamar.
A red rice from the pages of history!

One of India’s oldest known heirloom paddy varieties, this red rice has found patronage in both Ayurveda and the erstwhile Indian royal families.

This traditional folk-rice (shali) is named after blood (rakta), possibly because of its reddish-brown husk and blood-related medicinal efficacies. It is a rare form of traditional paddy variety known especially for its blood purifying properties.

Current research confirms this rice to be low-glycemic and rich in iron, making it an ideal table rice. We like to pair this with simple homely comforts of bhaja and torkari.

Raktashali from Bankura now available at Amar Khamar.

Get it online at amar-khamar.com or stop by at 21B Hindustan Road.

Did you know that loofahs can be edible too?  
Meet the Sponge Gourd!  Locally known as Dhundul or Palta Jhinge, this ingredient is one more from Bengal’s incredible biodiversity.  This vegetable is spotted more often in the markets as a loofah than represented on our plates as a summer delicacy. But for a short window before peak summer, the grounds come alive with this climbing vine that is resilient and versatile. And delicious! The tender Dhundul is a hard find and why we are celebrating this indigenous vegetable this season.  
Pramila Di, our oldest producer partner, presents us with this wonderful seasonal ingredient from the heart of regional Bengal as we continue to explore Bengal’s culinary diversity.   Now serving Niramish Dhundul Aalu at Amar Khamar. Tempered with kalo jeere and finished with a spoonful of our delicate ghee from Kalimpong, light.   Also serving it as part of our Chhuti-r Bhat, paired with aromatic Harinakhuri rice and our darker Ghee from Kalimpong

Earlier this year, we had the pleasure of hosting Sundarbannama - a special dinner from the heart of Sundarbans. From paddy grown in the salty waters of the mangrove forests to the shak that they eat, prepared exactly like in the homes of our producers from the region.

An evening celebrating the rich biodiversity of Sundarbans and life amidst its endangered ecosystems. The region is very close to our hearts as this is where we had begun our work! The producers from here have been one of the earliest to work with us and continue to be an integral part of Amar Khamar.

What made the evening incredibly special was the presence of Padma Shri whose great works have been centred around the landscape of Sundarbans.

We were also honoured by the presence of the amazing , and who made this celebration of Sundarbans and its offerings a memorable one! With Bengal at its heart 🤍

We have room for more! 
What started as a space to exhibit agricultural products, slowly grew to hosting special dinners and then a full restaurant last year.   We have since then added more room to welcome you all 🫶
 Our space continues to be the platform, where we serve our ingredients and tell our stories. Our restaurant is an important part of our story and we feel that the name ‘Lunch Room’ does not fully serve our vision anymore.  
And so, we continue our work at 21B Hindustan Road only as Amar Khamar.
 See you soon 🌾
