Khichuri bhog
The classic bhog — rice and moong dal slow-cooked with ghee, ginger and whole spices, offered to the Goddess and shared with everyone after the Anjali.
Sammelani Bangla Durgotshab — Belgium 2026
Food
A taste of what our community kitchen has served in past years. This year's full menu will be shared closer to the festival.
Labra
A slow-cooked medley of pumpkin, potato, aubergine and seasonal greens with panch phoron — the vegetable dish that always accompanies the khichuri bhog.
Luchi & cholar dal
Flaky puffed bread with a lightly sweet Bengal-gram dal simmered with coconut, raisins and warm spices — a festival breakfast favourite.
Payesh
Rice pudding simmered slowly with milk, cardamom and date-palm jaggery — the sweet that traditionally closes the bhog.
Mishti
Rasgulla, sandesh and pantua from a local Bengali kitchen — soft chhena sweets in syrup, the taste of Bijoya.
Dishes vary a little from year to year.
