First Bong Eats Q&A! 

I live in Russia and my wife is Russian. I have almost never been to a kitchen, but decided to try cooking the Kolkata egg roll watching your video. And my wife absolutely loved it. Thanks :)

I've always admired the simple, no-fuss, aesthetic format of Bong Eats, not to speak of the drool-worthy recipes. So great to 'meet' both of you... keep the deliciousness growing!!

Thanks for an extremely engaging n wonderful Q &,A session! The genesis of BE and its flourishing over the years in terms of coverage of an awesome array of cuisines, each embellished with top notch narration n aesthetic videography is so inspiring! The benchmark of excellence you've created is truly appreciable. More power to you! Together you can do wonders...

I recently discovered your channel and I am so enamoured! Love how articulate both of you are, the recipes look amazing, and the cinematography is to die for. Thank you for contributing to the robust food scene on RU-vid :)

'To inspire young generation to cook'. That is exactly what you have done for my case. Thank you Bong Eats.

Best cooking videos. Love everything about it from the music to the sound of cutting veggies. So Southing. And I'm glad your food is the centre focus. Don't change anything. ❤️💕💞

Finishing each other's sentences! Yes, I guess we could call you two friends after all 😁

You guys are amazing. This is the best food channel I've ever seen.

I really appreciate your detailed (nothing is missed) videos....makes cooking so much easier. And I enjoy your format....where food is king and not the host!

Nice to see your faces - my wife would be delighted to see this video after she gets back from work. Nice channel, absolutely A+ so far.

You made me fall in love with Bengali cuisine. I am a South Indian.

Just you two? So talented 👍 you make it look like a big professional team working behind

I’m a bong (brought up in Calcutta) settled in Delhi, your channel help me connect to my bong roots and being alive the typical foods I grew up eating but was never taught (left home for studies earlier) thank you so much for the channel, home sickness for food is really a one of now!:)

It's so good you people make videos together, you learn together and grow together both on same page, love meter on same level😀

You guys are truly awesome. I love your honesty. Please come out with a book, it will be ex excellent. You guys are better than professional, you do such a perfect job

You guys made me love kitchen. Thanks for all the hard work you guys put behind making such videos.

You guys are so cute, love you two. Tried egg roll and it was almost success. Will make t better next time. Thank you for the video. All the best. God bless you guys.

I have grown so fond of BongEats over the past few months (that’s when I discovered it) . And watching the two of you only deepens my emotional connect with it . So Adorable. Kudos Guys! And Happy Puja :)

you guys are doing an awesome job ..... not only are your methods precise and so well laid out , it's so much satisfying to even just watch those videos . It definitely inspires me to try and attempt certain foods which I thought I couldn't make , thanks guys .

Ive been watching bong eats for quite some months.. but i felt an immediate connection when you mentioned swapan kakur fuchka! I live by his fuchka!! Amd you two are very inspiring! I hope bong eats keeps growing!

I’m second generation Dominican decent American born, I’m so passionate about our Caribbean foods, especially it curry dishes... I was so blown away on the similarities. I love your channel. You are creating tasty 😋 art. I also enjoy Indian music when you do include it. Hello from Massachusetts ❤️

What you said at 16:11 can change someone's life. It's not just a cooking tip, it applies to everything we go through in life. You guys are awesome!

Hello! Just wanted to say, you guys doing a great job. I absolutely love your channel. I am a ‘bheto Bangali’ staying in Singapore and get inspired to cook everytime I watch your videos. After this video, m also getting some ‘couple goals’. Much love 💕

What an awesome project for you two. Lovely couple. I grew up in calcutta and bong eats feeds my nostalgia.

Just noticed that the mugs above are the same used in the doodh cha recipe :)

I am from Kerala but I live in the Netherlands. There already are many reasons for Mallus to love Bongs for and Bong eats adds to the list :) I've tried a few of your recipes and how do I say this, I feel like home. The smell of the motherland :) And I could any day watch your videos not just for recipes but also for that beautiful music. Man, you guys really show how beautiful and artistic cooking is and it's really inspiring. I don't consider myself to be a great cook or something but you guys definitely help me feel so great by helping me with cooking :) Much love. ধন্যবাদ :)

So lovely to see this interview. Usually, honestly, I skip after I have seen the recipes. Today,thanks to being in the kitchen and with wet hands, couldn't skip the video and continued watching and what a treat. And Nava Nalanda alumni and ardent cook, can't wait to share it with my husband. You both make A beautiful couple. And do remind us of our younger days. Good luck and yes you have got another big fan couple.

Great channel! Love making the dishes which I see and learn from you both!

Hi Guys! This is the first "bengali" channel I have seen on youtube, great job! Bdw I live in SF too! :)

না না আপনারা ক্যামেরার সামনে খুব ভালো করছেন কোন চিন্তা করবেন না আরও বেশি আসবেন ক্যামেরার সামনে। মজার ব্যাপার হলো আমার শশুর বাড়ি বিক্রমপুর এ। খুব ভালো করছেন আপনারা এগিয়ে জান।শুভেচ্ছা সব সময়ের জন্য। রেস্টুরেন্ট চালু করে দেন "Bong Eats" নামে।

Spoken like a true engineer..'never measure in volumes, rather in mass!' love it, and she brings her arts into the science of cooking..you both make a great team..just started following some of your recipes..good inspiration for GenXers like myself! SO best of luck in your gastronomical journey!

I've come to be very very fond of your channel. The finnese with which you film and put together everything makes me very very proud to be a bong. I heartily wish that your channel prospers even more. I have personally tried out many of your recipes like the Christmas cake, Machher jhol, etc. And it's amazing.

You guys are totally inspiring. Your presentation with apt background music, foley, colour and info-graphic remind me of Satyajit Ray. Its even better than other food related videos on RU-vid made by professionals. Most importantly, each video draws me a step closer to the purpose you make these videos for. Daruun. Durga pujor priti o subhechcha.

First and love you guys ... hope u reach million subs ASAP

You guys will reach 1 million soon. Many congratulations! But you deserve more than 5 million now. You have helped me and my partner survive/ enjoy the lockdown. We have stopped ordering food online!

You guys are amazing! I just love your videos and the way you do it in Bong Eats. And the CHOPPER which you use in your video is so nice ... Being a Bong food lover I learned many of perfections from your cooking ❤

Hello Insiya and Saptarshi, I just want to say keep up the good work! Your videos are so visually stunning and so easy to follow. I live in United states too! And thanks to your videos,I have started appreciating my mom more 😂 and makes me miss home a little less :) Thank you so much for making these videos!

তোমাদের চ্যানেল ফলো করে অনেক রান্না সাহস করে নিজেই করে ফেলেছি। বেশ কিছু রান্না বহুদিন বাড়িতে রেঁধে খাওয়া হয়নি, তার একটা বড় কারণ বাড়ির সবথেকে প্রিয় অথেনটিক রাঁধুনি পৃথিবীর মায়া কাটিয়ে দিয়েছেন অনেক দিন হয়ে গেল, যাঁর হাতের রান্না পদ খেয়ে ছোটো থেকে জিভের তার তৈরি হয়েছিলো। তারপর হোটেল ক্যান্টিন আর প্রফেশনাল রাঁধুনিদের ভরসায় কাল কেটেছে। অনেক দিন পর বেশ কিছু রেসিপি ফলো করে নিজের হাতে রেঁধে খেয়ে যে পরিমাণ আনন্দ পেয়েছি সেটা মাপার মতন স্কেল নেই। সামান্য শুকনো একটা ধন্যবাদ দিয়ে তোমাদের ছোটো করবোনা, অনেক অনেক ভালোবাসা জেনো তোমরা দুজনে। এবার তোমাদের চ্যানেলে পিঠে পার্বনের জন্যে ওয়েট করছি। শীতকাল আসছে কিন্তু। বহুকাল হয়ে গেল বাড়িতে তৈরি করা পিঠে খাইনি। তোমরা রেসিপি আপলোড করলেই আমি থলে হাতে বাজারে যাবো... :)

This is fantastic... thank you, guys... I have been following your channel for some time now, and the recipes are delicious. Thank you so much for the videos....

I love your show. It's so calming to watch you make each dish with such precision. Never missed an episode so far..

Hello fellow JUDE! :') (super heartwarming to know one of my most favourite TY food channels was made by someone from so close home

It has certainly inspired me to go into the kitchen, thanks a gem from me ❤️

You guys are absolutely fantastic! Original and honest! Love your videos 👍🏻

You guys make sheer art out of every dish. Much much love.

My cousin sister was ur classmate in loreto. The time wen i showed her mangsho kosha recipe , instantly she recognized u.😃

I love cooking, love your videos, keep up the good work 👍 watching from Ghana

your content, pace, presentation easily supersedes SortedFood and other mentions. IMHO the silent storytelling sends out ASMR triggers. Superb content. keep it up!

You guys are doing a great job! It’s not just yet another recipe video channel, what cuts you apart is a strong sense of branding, the sheer aesthetics and overall sensory indulgence in the culinary world through a powerful audio visual grammar. The videos have the kind of minimalism and neatness popular in contemporary Japanese and pan Asian recipe videos along with the phoron of Bengali/ folk music, sound et al. Intriguing and engaging! Good luck!

Lovely video you guys.. keep up the good work.. sotti ato bhalo laglo tomader dekhe..👍😊

That intro question 😂 Love ur channel,I made a few recipies from ur channel for my family and they loved it...Thanks & hope u get a lot of success in future👍🏻❣

Good to see you as a whole human, rather than a pair of hands creating magic. There is I believe a conscious decision by both of you to make the preparation of the food the main star and completely take away any attention to you as a person. In the era of narcississistic behavior being the norm, you approach has won my heart. And I keep humming the background music even after I have finished watching the video. A lot of love from a foodie. We all wish you a great success.

Keep up the great work. Love your channel and of course Calcutta! ❤️

Lol the first q was so funny. Love to see you guys.

Just finished watching the Q & A. Loved to hear all the infos about you two, mostly I liked my name which you mentioned in the question. Thnx.

You guys are too much awesome.I have fallen in love with both of you and obviously with your recipes ( these are first obosyoi)😁

This is absolutely the best cookery video . The research , the precise and detailed instructions are mind-boggling. I can imagine how much work , time and effort . You guys are so humble and warm. Keep up the great work and thank you. The aesthetics are fabulous too and love the music . It is so soothing .

My boyfriend introduced me to your channel and since then I've fallen in love with your content. Cooked so many recipes from here. You actually ignited the passion of cooking in me. Such a great fan! Best wishes for both of you! ❤

Absolutely love your channel! I am from Tamil Nadu and always on the lookout for recipes from other states and countries. Can't wait to try your recipes!

I am in love with your channel, actually I got the channel that I really needed

Thanks a lot guys for all your recipes. I moved to Australia a few years back and have always missed the food of Calcutta. I have been able to make Mutton Biryani, Firni and Chocolate cake, thanks to the detailed steps of your videos. Keep up the great work!

Glad to know your parents are from my hometown Dhaka!! ❤️❤️ Good wishes 😊

Hey,Love this channel.I have been cooking bengali dishes for my mallu girlfriend who hates mustard oil but incidentally loves everything i cook after watching from Bong eats.

I love the format of your videos and not to forget the droolworthy recipes..keep it up!

Thank you so much for creating all the videos of all the delicious food my Ma used to cook, we enjoyed so much but never paid attention to how its made. Now my Ma is gone and I crave the taste, and you guys have given me the inspiration to try some of the food I am missing.

Bongeats your presentations are smart and the images are extremely pleasing to the eye. Shubho Mahaashtami and Bon Voyage!!

Thank you for answering my question! 😁

Hi, I started watching your channel quiet recently and I really admire your work. Though I was not aware of about sending the questions, but I could not help myself to miss this video. You guys are doing an awesome job. Documentation of such Calcuttan food was indeed important and you are executing it with real passion. Take care and keep it up. Regards N.B. I never used sugar during cooking and my wife used to hate my way of cooking because of that. But because of you guys, I now add couple of spoons of sugar at ease. :-)

You guys are so adorable...and talented people...love to see the artistic cooking style of yours😍

I love the music that goes with the cooking process. Khub shundor bhaabe ranna dekhao tomra. Boston theke shubhechha janaai. Look forward to more videos.

Feeling at home as always. Its like listening to friends who are good cooks. Much 💕

You guys are such a nice couple as well.. really like how you collaborate with people and also the communication between two of you. Many many congratulations to you. God blesses you together ❤️

Asma's biryani is truly awesome. You brought back so many memories of my college days in Narendrapur Ramkrishna Mission. We used to go there every Thursday. The kebab, parota, tandoori roti, bhuna everything was great

Fantastic sense of humour you guys.

Just happen to bump into this channel and I love it. Then when I started listening to this, I got to know you did bachelors from FIEM. So the same place I went to! :D Small world!

I loved your channel and your presentation of food and its making process! Thank you for doing this🙂!

Your videos inspire me to cook well. Just like Insiya, I am learning how to cook as I am living alone but I had no idea that I could cook like home. Thank you so much !!! Lots of love and best wishes.

You guys are an inspiration!! Lots of love. Off late but I have watched all your videos till now. I am from Assam, along with our Assamese cuisine, we love Bengali food too. And mine favs are ilish maach bhapa, alu-poshto and rui maacher kaliya. 😍

Thank you for your awesome work. Looking forward to many more great recipes. p.s.: Your personalities are great also.

You guys definitely are engaging, and I would love to watch you guys on videos more often.

Along with cooking goals, you are also giving couple goals 😍 Admire you both a lot nd your fabulous work Lots of love to Bagha❤ From Chandannagar, WB

Insiya and Saptarshi.. Have been followibg your recipes.. Got to see u for the first tym.. Love the selection of ur background music, really gives that typical bengali feel

Lovely! You guys are so spontaneous......and so so so much effort on weekends! This is called real passion. Hats off to you guys! I always like little touches you give in each recipe, for example, adding a little Beuli daal pur mixture while kneading the Moida....Great going. All the best. Looking forward to more...

Not only the recipes but the aesthetics are also amazing. Keep up the great work. Thank you so much.

Insiyaaa u stole my heart what a moment to see a loretoite do such great work! I m so proud of you too I absolutely love you guys!!! Like I hv planned a full birthday arrangement for my parents through your video recipes❤💯

The way you guys present ..... Its unique and beautiful. I love the way you show cutting vegetables. Best wishes. 😘

You guys are so natural in front of the camera! Hope we get to see more of you in your videos!

Thank you for answering.lots of love.subho asthomi

Saptarshi, I wanted to jump for joy when you said 'paaTpata-r boRa' (but I was watching it sitting at my desk in office, so I couldn't). I wish I could made the whole universe taste the sheer awesomeness of those crispy bits of heaven. Jak ge, congratulations to you and Insiya, proud and happy to see Bong Eats coming along so well, and this was a lovely, lovely video. I think you've just got yourselves a bunch of dedicated fans.

Recently I have started following your channel and I loved it. You 2 are awesome. I do keep a knack towards cooking and your recipes and mainly the way the videos are made have caught my attention towards good cooking. Thank You.

You exactly achieved that! (1st answer) Here I am ,a med student in Russia in -17 Degrees, makn pithe puli n koraishutir kochuri

Hello. I have been binge-watching all of your videos for a week now and I thought I must write to you about it! I have just moved to the States for higher studies a month back, from Kolkata and so has my sister(who moved to Europe), and we have been missing “khabar” in general. That is when I chanced upon your “maach er tel jhol” recipe and the rest is history. I wish I could make these dishes but I can’t(live in a dorm), but I wanted to thank you guys for creating them in a way that I feel so good just by looking at you making them!! I can’t say I miss eating maach er jhol and Luchi mangsho any less, but it’s very close! Thank you so much! *hugs* P.S-it’s crazy how when I think of the food, the song plays in my head; and when I hum the song, I think of the luchi and chaa and maach in the videos! 🙈

U really got me back to the kitchen. Love ur recipes and the presentation. What I especially like is that the focus is on the food

U r super simple. Realy love both of you. Thank u for making us happy by those visual treat, perfect recipes ,even you way thinking abt food hv influenced us.

Just love the laughter outburst at 9:30. This channel is so inspiring and the videos are like visual flight manual to navigate through bengali cooking universe. Salam and best wishes from Dhaka, Bangladesh. Bhalo Thakben ShobSomoy.
