Kolkata is a city of distinct seasons with each season’s subtle influence on your daily life. The beauty of the flowers and the lilting South wind together, usher in Baisakh, - a season that has a myriad of stories to share.
In this glorious season of Baisakh, we are delighted to present A Box of Mango Marvels from ITC Royal Bengal & ITC Sonar, which is dedicated to this marvellous city that we are proud to call Home. Its rich cultural heritage and culinary traditions have been culled through the ages, some of which are even inspired by the settlement of people from other regions of the world.
Mangoes define this season in Bengal, which benefitted from its rich past of royal patronage that extended to horticulture and grafting of varieties to grow new favourites. Begum Pasand, Rani Pasand, Kohitoor, and several more were introduced by the Nawab of Murshidabad in his orchards and this region alone boasts of more than 100 distinct varieties of the fruit.
The Box of Mango Marvels rejoices various traditions that are attached to the summer season. Golden Mangoes ripen on the trees and grace dining tables with their sweetness in every household during this season. It is eaten off the skin or its pulp is extracted and used to flavour a gamut of food from ice cream, mishti, and biscuits to juice. 'War' between sweet Himsagar and tangy Langra is commonplace and known to disrupt the peace in the otherwise peaceful households in Bengal – as to which is the best in taste!
This carefully curated Box, which is packed with the goodness of mangoes, has an interesting selection of delectable treats made from the King of Fruits- Aam Panna, Aam Ras, Aam Ki Kadhi, Murabba, Aam Chutney, Aam Ki Aachar, Mango Fresh Cheese Cake, Tea Cake, and Marmalade in the comfort of your home.
