Chef Suraj Thapa Revives Forgotten Bengali Recipes

Chef Suraj Thapa Revives Forgotten Bengali Recipes

Chef Suraj Thapa, who is Nepali by birth but raised with Bengali culture, is hosting a special event in Hyderabad called the Royal Bengal Table pop-up.

This event is at Barbeque Nation and lasts for a week.

Suraj is sharing dishes that are not very common, like Begun Varta and Golbari Kosha Mangsho.

These recipes are special to him because they remind him of his childhood and the Bengali community he grew up with.

Suraj also loves art and uses his creative skills to make his dishes look beautiful.

He learned the importance of time management during his time on MasterChef India, where he was a top contestant.

Now, he teaches others about the importance of consistency and managing time well in cooking.
