Bapu’s Curries

08/08/2026

Monsoon and Bapu have a few things in common — they both make us crave comfort food.

A rainy day at Bapu’s table is incomplete without the classics - hot chai, crisp pakoras and a plate of something warm and comforting. But knowing Bapu, the monsoon favourites cannot stop there.
There are always a few unexpected creations, dishes that carry his love for experimenting with flavours and turning familiar ingredients into something new.

We’re bringing back two such favourites from past.

Bapu’s Tables that we think are perfect for a rainy evening.
Can you guess which two dishes made it to our monsoon
essentials?

Some habits are collected over years, and some are passed down through generations.

One such habit of Bapu has always been collecting wall plates from the places he travelled to. In his dining room at Khaitan House, these plates became more than just décor—they became little reminders of journeys, places, and memories gathered along the way.

When Bapu’s Curries was being created, this beautiful tradition found its way into the book too. During the lockdown, as Surbhi and Shreeparna tested and recreated each recipe at home, these very plates came off their walls and became the canvas for the dishes that were photographed for the book.

Having grown up around Bapu’s love for collecting these little pieces of the world, Surbhi and Shreeparna found themselves carrying forward the same tradition. Their own homes now have walls filled with plates collected from their travels, keeping alive a habit that began with Bapu.
A reminder that sometimes the things we inherit are not just objects, but ways of seeing, collecting, and remembering the world.

Mango & Feta Cheese Salad

Some ingredients simply belong to summer, and mango is undoubtedly one of them as we bid adieu to the mango season we can’t help but this salad

For Bapu, mangoes have always been more than just a seasonal fruit. They are an invitation to experiment, to look beyond the familiar and discover new ways of bringing them to the table. This salad brings together the sweetness of ripe Alphonso mangoes, the freshness of greens, the creaminess of feta and the crunch of toasted pine nuts, all tied together with a bright honey and lemon dressing.

Simple, refreshing and full of contrasts, this is a celebration of summer on a plate.

Ingredients
• 1 ripe Alphonso mango, cut into long strips
• 2 handfuls of mixed salad leaves
• 1 tsp pine nuts, dry roasted
• 50 g feta cheese, crumbled

For the dressing
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 tsp honey
• Salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. Combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper in a mason jar and shake well until emulsified.
2. In a bowl, toss the salad leaves and crumbled feta with half of the dressing.
3. Transfer to a serving platter and top with mango strips and toasted pine nuts.
4. Finish with the remaining dressing drizzled over the mangoes and serve fresh.

A little sweet, a little tangy, and a reminder that mangoes can tell more stories than one. 🥭

Trust us to honour the season. 🥭

Bapu’s Table returned for its 5th edition, celebrating mangoes in every form. An evening where the menu, the table and the stories all revolved around the fruit that defines an Indian summer.

Moments with Bapu. 💛
No Bapu’s Table is complete without Bapu.
Every meal begins with one of his stories, a memory from his travels, or a conversation that somehow makes the food taste even better.

The Tablescape. 🌺🌼✨
The table was dressed for the season.
Fresh greens, mangoes, florals and thoughtful little details came together to create a setting where every course had its place, and every dish held a mango surprise.

The Food.
From the first bite to dessert, mango found its way into every course.
Some familiar, some unexpected, but each one celebrating the season in its own delicious way. 🥭

The People

Fourteen guests.
One table.
Countless conversations.
The best part of Bapu’s Table has always been the people who gather around it.

The Hosts.
Every Bapu’s Table comes together through the warmth of its hosts.
Thank you, Shreeparna and Surbhi, for opening your home once again and making every guest feel like family.

Bapu 🫶🏻
The heart behind Bapu’s Curries.
The storyteller.
The traveller.
The inspiration behind every Bapu’s Table.

The Little Details. ⭐️
The evening was in the little things too.
The flowers, the mango-filled corners, the laughter between courses, and of course, the jamun popsicle that brought the perfect finish to a summer feast.

Everyone Around the Table.

The table is only half the story.
It comes alive when strangers become friends, conversations flow effortlessly, and every course is shared with curiosity, laughter and a little more room for one another. That’s the spirit of Bapu’s Table. 🥭🍽️

The Group
Until the next table. ❤️
Thank you to everyone who joined us, shared stories, embraced new flavours and made our fifth Bapu’s Table one to remember.

When someone who has spent years discovering stories through food experiences a table built around stories, it makes the moment even more special.

Thank you Anubhav Sapra of Delhi Food Walks for joining us at the fourth edition of Bapu’s Table and capturing the evening so beautifully. Through your food walks, content and conversations, you have always celebrated the many layers of India’s food culture, and it was truly special to have you experience Bapu’s journey through food.

From dishes inspired by different parts of India to conversations flowing around the table, the evening was a reminder that food is always more than what is on the plate — it is memory, culture, stories and people coming together.

Grateful for this beautiful glimpse into Bapu’s Table. 🤍
