Although the world associates the word “Mishti” with either the popular Sandesh or the quintessential Roshogolla, but the word holds a different meaning in the dusty bylanes of rural West Bengal. Here the concept and type of Mishti changes every ten kilometres. The “Mishti” is so essential to life here that marriages, birthdays or for that matter any meal wouldn’t be complete without it. I take the local train that connects Kolkata to its suburbs and plan to discover the variations of Bengali Mishti as it chugs all the way from Kolkata to Bankura, revelling in the Bengali countryside all the way.
One of my first stops is at Chandannagore, the former cultural capital of French East India, where I headed to Surya Kumar Modak & Sons.
