Dishes to try at Zyqa, the best modern Indian restaurant: Poila boishak Edition
What should you try at such a famous restaurant in Kolkata, especially if you’re visiting during Poila Boishakh? Here are some of the dishes to crave. Let’s take a look at them.
1. Dimer Devil Chop:
New here? If so, this dish is a must-try. Dimmer Devil is considered one of the classics reinterpreted with elegance. The humble dim’er devil is a deep-fried egg chop. It is known for its presence in local cabins and sweet shops. Zyqa, however, has done an excellent job in giving it a fine-dining makeover.
Crisp on the outside and filled with spiced minced meat enveloping a perfectly cooked egg, it’s served with a tangy kasundi aioli and microgreens for added depth. It’s comfort food wrapped in sophistication.
2. Steamed Aam Kasundi Murgi Butter Naan Tacos:
This inventive dish is a marriage of East and West that remains rooted in Bengal’s culinary identity. Tender pieces of chicken are marinated in a zesty aam kasundi (raw mango and mustard sauce) is then steamed to lock in moisture and flavor.
Instead of being served the traditional way, the chicken is tucked into soft, buttered naan tacos. Those visiting Zyqa are likely to enjoy a burst of tang, spice, and smokiness in every bite.
3. Chingri Macher Cutlet Sweet Potato Trimbles:
Zyqa’s version of the beloved Bengali chingri cutlet (prawn cutlet) is a masterclass in itself. It consists of the perfect texture and balance of Crispy and golden on the outside, with a delicately spiced prawn filling inside.
Chefs at this fine dining indian restaurant serve it alongside sweet potato trimbles. They create this dish most artistically, pleasing the Bengali taste buds and again adding a creative, slightly sweet side that complements the savory seafood perfectly.
4. Kismis Kaju Pulao & Kochi pathar jhol:
This item is among the most luxurious and authentic dishes to go for, especially on Poila Boishakh. The fragrance of this pulao, layered with dry fruits and delicate spices, forms the perfect base for a combo such as Kochi pathar jhol.
This modern Indian restaurant creates this legendary Bengali preparation. The kochi patha (mutton) is slow-cooked until melt-in-the-mouth tender, its deep black masala rich with clove, cinnamon, and nostalgia. Zyqa excels in serving this dish with elegant copperware, adding a regal touch to its already bold character.
5. Dhonepata Murgi:
Rooted in colonial-era Bengal, the Dhonepata Murgi is a rustic, one-pot dish. Zyqa is among the good places to eat in Kolkata, where you can enjoy the authentic taste of this dish similar to the ones served in Bengali homes.
They honour this legacy with bone-in soft succulent chicken simmered in fresh fragrant coriander leaves and green chillies. This minimum spice dish creates an outburst of flavours in the mouth. No wonder it is a hearty, full of old-world charm dish, that is served with lightly roti or steamed rice, just like in the homes and halts of yesteryear.
