Durga Puja: SKY’s Love for Street Bites

Durga Puja is a carnival of food, and Suryakumar’s festive recommendations start right where the heart of the festival beats on the streets.

Kathi Rolls and Kebabs

For Suryakumar, the charm of Puja evenings is incomplete without the classic Kolkata kathi roll. Layered with smoky fillings, tangy chutneys, and wrapped in parathas, these rolls bring energy to the celebration. Juicy kebabs, grilled over hot coals, add another layer of indulgence to the experience.

Puchkas: Fun in Every Bite

Suryakumar Yadav’s festive list wouldn’t be complete without puchkas. Crisp shells packed with spicy-tangy water and mashed potatoes aren’t just snacks, they’re shared laughter, competitive rounds with friends, and memories of pure joy.

Bhog That Feeds the Soul

Alongside all the street bites, SKY highlights the importance of bhog, the wholesome combination of khichuri, labra, and payesh. It’s the soul of Durga Puja, a dish that binds together devotion, tradition, and community.

Dussehra: SKY’s Balance of Tradition and Indulgence

Dussehra is about victory and abundance, and Suryakumar’s choices for the festival mirror that balance between festive traditions and indulgent feasting.

A Spread That Unites Families

Festive thalis, featuring puris, aloo sabzi, paneer dishes, and kheer, are Suryakumar Yadav’s picks for family celebrations. Regional specialties from South India’s obbattu to North India’s jalebis make the spread even more vibrant.

Tandoor on the Table

Smoky and rich tandoori flavors also make SKY’s recommendations. Whether it’s paneer tikka, tandoori aloo, or stuffed mushroom skewers, these dishes bring warmth to gatherings and set the mood for conversations that linger long after the plates are empty.

Sweet Endings

Suryakumar insists no Dussehra feast is complete without a sweet touch. Gulab jamuns, rasgullas, or freshly fried jalebis, every piece symbolizes celebration and the joy of sharing.

Diwali: SKY’s Grand Feast of Lights and Flavors

Diwali is the festival of lights, and according to Suryakumar Yadav, it’s also the festival of indulgence. Every dish shines as brightly as the diyas, creating a spread that feels truly royal.

The Magic of Mithai

Suryakumar’s Diwali table is always adorned with mithai. Kaju katli, laddoos, barfi, and soan papdi are festive must-haves, their shimmer reflecting the sparkle of the festival. They’re not just sweets, they’re gifts of happiness, shared generously with family and friends.

Snacks for Togetherness

Crunchy namkeens like chakli, mathri, and shakarpara also make their way into SKY’s picks. These savory bites perfectly complement the sweetness, especially when shared during Diwali games and card parties.

Dining Like Royalty

For SKY, Diwali dinners are about grandeur, fragrant biryanis, rich gravies, and freshly baked breads. These royal feasts turn every gathering into a night of laughter, cheer, and memories to last long after the lights fade.
