The classic Calcutta fruitcake—a fixture in many homes around Christmas-time—is a rum-soaked, fruit-and-nut encrusted indulgence.

A chocolate cake for the ages

Or Chitoi Pithe

A classic custard that is both comforting and classy

An old fashioned pudding, with tea-custard sauce

A coconut-and-jaggery snack
