“We are using locally available ingredients for all these preparations,” he added.

The defending champions, captained by Gautam Gambhir, would be served with an authentic and nutritious Bengali spread. Chatterjee, who runs the chain of fine dining restaurants like Mainland China and Oh! Calcutta, said Gandharaj Machh would be included in the players menu.

Prepared with Gandharaj variety of lemon, Gandharaj Machh is an exquisite aromatic preparation made with tender fish fillets and infused with a tangy yogurt-based sauce and rind.
