I want that bengali kind of love.

The afternoon dates in scorching sun while trudging through college street in a kurti, sniffing ancient, ancient books kind of love. The sitting in princep ghaat, watching the Ganga flow by kind of love. The "paarar adda" kind of love; the "Fuchka khabi?" kind of love. I want the passionate political debates kind of love; the saraswati puja's yellow saree dates kind of love. I want the teasing "Didi apnar dara hobe na; chere din" kind of love. I want walking down the gardens of Victoria memorial kind of love. I want the evening jhaalmuri kind of love, the watching bells of dakhineshwar toll at a distance over the Ganga kind of love. I want manna de songs when it rains kind of love. I want rabindrasangeet when the thunder booms outside kind of love.

I want the vintage Kolkata love.

Jhaal Muri has been an incandescent part of a Bengali's life. Right from the corner of your colony to the high streets of London, it has travelled a long long way. According to Pritha Sen, food writer and historian, jhal muri first grew popular on the streets of Kolkata, the former capital of the British Raj, during World War II. Last week, I got an opportunity to experience a unique experiment taken up by International Institute of Hotel Management (@iihmhotelschools) in association with West Bengal Tourism (@westbengaltourism) to take Bengali cuisine to all it's campuses in the form of a Food Festival. The festival featured bengali dishes cooked by the students of IIHM, Hyderabad. Though it will take a lot of guidance & preparation to match the authenticity of the food, but big thumbs up for the young budding team for putting up great effort to create an atmosphere of bangaliana. Look forward to many more such innovative events from the team. Keep following @bongfooodie for interesting event snippets as well as food stories from across the globe. @wbtourism . . @prilaga #westbengaltourism #bengalifood #bengalifoodlover #bloggersgetsocial #jhalmuri #foodpornshare #jhalmuriexpress #bloggerslife #foodblogger #jhaalmudi #experiencebengal #wbtourism #jhaalmuri #iihmhyderabad #foodieblogger #blogger #foodfestival #bloggerlife #foodie #foodporn #gobengal #bengalifoodfestival #prilaga #bongfooodie (at IIHM Hyderabad) https://www.instagram.com/p/BneHWpVHxPZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qiv4jl1p68xk

Daal chaaler bora : ( Rice and lentils fritters ) "Banglar mukh ami dekhiyachhi tai Prithibir mukh ami khujite jai na aar" Bangla manei adda, aar bangalir addar chirokaaler saathi holo ei daal chaaler bora. Apart from jhaalmuri, chop and samosa , this recipe tops the chart of Bengali home-made fast-food. This is such a spicy recipe which has always been the only reason for a Bengali to get into intense adda for hours mostly during evening time, be it on any topic. Buddhijibi Bangali , the typical Intellectuals who have an opinion on everything and everyone from Narendra Modi to Dhoni to Paoli Dam, starting from politics to football or at least PNPC about neighbours i.e Paraninda paracharcha (backbiting), every Bengalis just need a reason to make their conversation more intense if it is accompanied by these fritters. Bengali can have a plateful of rice and daal with these fritters. It can be served as tea-time snack with pudina chutney or tamarind chutney as well. Rice and masoor daal needs to be soaked in lukewarm water atleast for 3 hours so that it can be grinded into a smooth and thick paste. Finely chopped onions, green chillies, salt and sugar to taste, aamchur powder, turmeric and red chilli powder and cumin seeds are the simple ingredients which makes this recipe so interesting. I use refined oil for deep frying. Bangali and their adda will always remain inseparable and so is chaal daaler bora fueling their opinions. In a way, this recipe has a consistent historical record of playing a significant role in Bengali adda. #bengalifood #bengalicooking #cooking #bengalirecipe #food #foodie #foodporn #instafood #foodphotography #instagram #homemade #homemadefood #fritters #vegetarian #vegetarianrecipes #spicy #kolkatafoodie #kolkatafoodbloggers #foodgasm #foodbloggers #thekolkatavibes #ig_calcutta #calcuttacacophony #thekolkatabuzz #content #thecalcuttatalkies #bongconnection #shoutout #thekolkatafoodie #kolkatasutrafood https://www.instagram.com/p/B1rBc-FFVT9/?igshid=1lylbq1vjhkmo

[kolkatasen]

I am a big fan of street food of every city and wherever I go, be it a office-work trip or a vacation, I indulge myself in the street foods of the city. I call myself a resident of two cities, Kolkata and Hyderabad. I am yet to come up with a list of the best street-foods of Hyderabad but this list of Kolkata is surely a must have if you are in town.

I have tried to cover up almost everything possible in this post. It becomes tough, to be honest, to decide on who is the best in the business but this list will probably give you one of the best experiences of Kolkata Street Food. If you can add any, leave a comment and I will take that as a suggestion.

Let’s dig in!

  Kathi Rolls : If you are in Kolkata, this is a must try and you can not come back with out having the Kathi Rolls of Kolkata. The best places to have Kathi Rolls are Nizam’s, Kusum Rolls and Hot Kati Rolls on Park Street. You will definitely find numerous number of roll stalls but the above ones are undoubtedly the bests. 

Egg-Chicken Kathi Roll from Kusum, Park Street.

  If at all you want to try a variety after liking the above ones, make sure you visit Bedouin at Gariahat More to try their Chicken Tikia Rolls which comes at a price of 25 bucks and also Tandoori Fish Rolls from a shop called Campari near Dover’s Lane.

Pic 1 : Chicken Tikia Roll (Bedouin) Pic 2 : Tandoori Fish Roll (Campari)

  Chaats : When it comes to chaats, I consider everything in it like Phuchkas, Jhaalmuri, Papri Chaats, Alu Dom, Bhelpuri, Alu Kabli, Churmur, etc.

There are few places in Kolkata which serves the best. If at all you are in the mood to have Bhelpuri and Papri Chaats, you must visit the shops opposite to the lane of Victoria Memorial Hall, on the pavement of Maidan. Now, when it comes to Jhaalmuri, my suggestion would be two places. 1. The man from Bihar who sits near Haldiram’s on Exide Crossing and the woman at Gariahat (walk towards Ballygunge from Gariahat Market, right side!). They have been selling Jhaalmuri since long and even though, there is a difference in taste and ingredients, they make it perfect.

  For phuchkas, head straight towards Dakshinapon Shopping Complex at Dhakuria and you will find heaven for phuchkas from Rajendra Phuchka. He is an award winner and is perhaps the best in the city, keeping in mind the phuchka sellers at Vivekananda Park, which are mostly hyped.

  Well, for churmur, alu kabli, alu dom, etc you can try it from any prominent places of the city as most of them make it perfect, more or less. Still, my suggestion will be from the seller who sits exactly on the junction of Rashbehari Avenue. You will get everything from him.

Chilla and Dal Pakoda at Vardhan Market 

Vardaan Market, being at the heart of the business district of Camac Street, is home to some of the best vegetarian delicacies that you can find in Kolkata. Try phuchkas from vendors near Westside and Pantaloons and Marwari delicacies like the Chilla, Daal pakoda etc. at Vardaan Market.

  Kalika Mukhorochok

Head towards College Street to try the best fries (telebhaja) of Kolkata (undoubtedly!). An almost 50-year-old shop has made its name of selling the best Telebhaja in the city. Telebhaja is deep fried snacks and you can find everything from brinjal fries to fried fish, egg chops to mutton chops and all of these sell out in a couple of hours. They are open only in the evenings from 4 PM to 8 PM and has people fighting to place orders, if you go after 7.30 PM chances are you’ll have very fewer options to choose from.

Things to try from Kalika are : Fish Fry, Fish Finger,Fish Rolls,Chingrir Chop, Vetki Chop,Aloo Chop, etc.

Another suggestion of having Telebhaja will be from Aponjon at Kalighat which is equally famous and brilliant. People of South Kolkata treats Aponjon as the Temple of  Telebhaja.

The menu is almost similar to that of Kalika and taste-wise, it is brilliant. Things to try out here will be Fish Fry, Mutton Singhara, Deviled Eggs,Chicken Kaviraji, Fried Fish, Chicken Cutlet, Mutton Cutlets, etc.

  Dacre’s Lane

For all kinds of famous street foods, you would want!

One of the most popular food of Kolkata, Dacre Street, also known as Decker’s Lane has everything you would want to try. From Punjabi to Chinese and the trade mark Bengali dishes, you’ll find it all here. Chowmein, Schezwan chicken, luchi-alu dom, fish roll, Ghugni, Puchkas, Jhali Muri and the list just goes on. What’s more, the WHO has rated the food here to be one of the Best Street Foods in the World!

Must Try : The Chowmein and Chilli Chicken Combo from the 1st shop on your right side, Chicken Stew and Toasts from Chitto Da’s shop and while coming out, get a plate of chicken bharta packed for your dinner.

  Momo

This is also considered as a street food of Kolkata nowadays and there are numerous shops which sell dumplings of various kind. To me, the best place to try some pork momos at a dirt cheap price is Tibetan Delight at Elgin Road and for the chicken one, it should be Fresh N Up at Golpark.

Balaram Mullick and Radharam Mullick

The dripping Roshogolla, thick Misti Doi, innumerable varieties of Sandesh, mouthfuls of Rasmalai, unmatched Rajbhog and the sweet Payesh; it is impossible to come to and not head for a sweetshop. Though these sweetmeats are found practically everywhere in Kolkata, Balaram Mullick and Radharam Mullick are nothing short of a brand when it comes to sweets in Kolkata. You’ve not Kolkata Street Food until you’ve visited this amazing sweet shop. The fusion sweets, along with the traditional crowd favourites are ones to die for. Besides this, KC Das, Girish Chandra Dey and Nakur Chandra Nandy are worship places for Mishti when it comes to Kolkata! 

  Kachoris 

This has to be from the shops near Burrabazaar and if you can not afford to be there, heads towards Deshapriyo Park to find out the best Hot Kachoris, Aloo Sabzi and Jalebis.

There is no second choice!

  If at all you want to try mini kachoris, you should be at Balwant Singh Eating House at Bhawanipore. If you land up there, do give a try to their famous Doodh Cola which is perhaps available only at this place.

  Mayaram’s

This is the ultimate place for some pav Bhajis. Mayaram’s makes one of the best pav bhajis in all of Kolkata. If you’re crossing the shop on your way, I assure you, you can’t go on without surrendering to the charms of a plate of the most fragrant, paradisaical pav bhaji! Note: While you’re on Lord Sinha Road, try the gola, or chuski, as it is more fondly known and the soda shikanji. They are served in sizeable earthen glasses and are absolutely great on a Kolkata afternoon, before and after those shopping sprees.

  If you are taking a walk around the Ganga Ghats, do not miss out the Pav Bhajis available from the vendors of Princep Ghat. They are also one of the bests.

Kulfi

If it’s Kulfi, I can remember Indra Mahal of Esplanade which is famous for the same. I have been there many a times, the charm remains the same till date. The Kulfi served here is the typical one that we are used to have. If you want flavored ones, you should visit the Fruit Kulfi seller who is available during the afternoon on Camac Street, somewhere between Pantaloons and St. Xavier’s and has the most low key establishment He keeps a box of dry ice near his basket of yum to stuff his delectable kulfis in. The close proximity to a lot of colleges ensures a steady flow of yummy street food at all times. I would suggest you to pick the Mango and Sitaphal Kulfi from him.

  Special Mention : If at all you are in and around China Town during the morning (before 11 am), you should catch a bowl of Samosa Chow which comes at 50 bucks. This will be enough for a quick brunch.

  KOLKATA – the Cultural Capital of India is a heaven for foodies and especially for people with a sweet tooth. Bengali sweets are famous and certainly needs no introduction, however; the spicy, tangy and absolutely mouth-watering dishes that Kolkata has to offer will leave you undecided on whether you like the spicy Bengali cuisine more or the melting flavors of the sweetmeats. Add to that the traditional Chinese and Tibetan food that are found here and you’re spoilt for choices.

Let me know if you have any suggestions or want to add more about your unique experiences, I would love to hear!

Being a Bengali I've had Jhaalmuri or puffed rice with spices as one of our staple evening snacks in Calcutta. Yesterday, I discovered something very similar. The word is 'Girmit'. A dish from North Karnataka consisting of puffed rice with spices along with a Mirchi Bhajji that's fried chilli. Different place different names but same concept same taste. Loved it! ♥️ . . . . . . . . #girmit #puffedrice #spices #karnataka #karnatakatourism #karnataka_ig #bangalore #northkarnataka #flavours #flavor #food #discovery #bangalore_insta #bangaloregram #bangaloreinstagrammers #bengalurudiaries #bengaluru_nodi #bengaluru_diaries #karnatakafood #tastebuds #basavanagudi #fooddiaries #karnatakadiaries #culture #Calcutta #Kolkata #chilli #concept #names #places #taste (at Basavanagudi) https://www.instagram.com/p/BncZEASni5e/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ya2c1dl5t4td

Thanks to the availability of a favorable parking spot on south congress, we made it to @cafenoseatx for #lunch . We were well impressed, to say the least, with the food & the excellent service given by Steven. The #poke was fresh with an #international influence reminiscent of #bhelpuri & #jhaalmuri . The cafe spread was a fresh #babaghannouj minus the overly strong #garlic flavor that most places tend to dish out. #eateraustin #zagat# #zagatatx #zagataustin #zagattexas #austin #texas #christmas #eater #fusioncuisine #eateraustin (at Café No Sé)
