\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

On top of the most delicious\u00a0Kolkata street food\u00a0<\/strong>is the Kathi Roll, which both vegetarians and non-vegetarians can enjoy.\u00a0 Kolkata\u2019s famous Kati Rolls\u00a0<\/strong>come with their twist of delectable flavour. Still, most street stalls stuff a thin paratha or roti (flatbread rolls) with spicy vegetables or minced chicken pieces, eggs, or kebab meat, depending on your choice.<\/p>

Here\u2019s a fascinating historical\u00a0tidbit\u00a0about this savoury snack \u2014\u00a0the Kolkata Kathi Roll\u00a0<\/strong>was first invented in the city of joy. A restaurant named \u2018Nizam\u2019 crafted the country\u2019s inaugural Kathi Roll in the early 20th century, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of Kolkata\u2019s street food culture.<\/p>

Kathi Roll soon became a popular dish amongst the Britishers, who took its recipe to England, and\u00a0Kolkata Kathi Roll<\/strong>\u00a0became a buzzword worldwide.\u00a0 Luckily, you won\u2019t have to travel halfway across the world to get the best Kathi Rolls because the restaurant is still open in the New Market area of Kolkata. You must visit the place to get the authentic\u00a0Kathi Rolls<\/strong>\u00a0in the city.<\/p>

For an\u00a0authentic\u00a0taste of\u00a0Kathi Rolls Kolkata<\/strong>, head to Campari in Ballygunge, Hot Kathi Roll and Kusum Rolls in Park Street, Bedwin in the Gariahat area, or Parijat in Shakespeare Sarani. These renowned street food vendors have perfected the art of making Kathi Rolls and are a must-visit for any food enthusiast in Kolkata.<\/p>

Average Price \u2013 INR 300<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Puchkas are known by various names around India \u2014 Paani Puri, Paani Batashe, Golgappa, and Gupchup. In Kolkata and nearby areas, it is referred to as Puchkas and is amongst the best street food in the city.<\/p>

To say that\u00a0Puchka in Kolkata<\/strong>\u00a0is like culinary drops made in heaven would be an understatement. These small and delicate puris have an opening in the middle which is filled with chickpeas, tamarind water, chutney (sweet or sour, depending on the consumer), and other spices.<\/p>

It is said that the journey of puchkas goes back to the time of the Magadha kingdom when kings and queens treated themselves to \u2018Phulkis\u2019, later known as puchkas.<\/p>

Kolkata Puchka<\/strong>\u00a0is one street food that can be enjoyed by people of all classes \u2014 the richest on the planet to those slogging their bodies to make ends meet. The reason is the unique flavours and lip-smacking taste of the best\u00a0Kolkata street food\u00a0<\/strong>ever!<\/p>

Some of the most popular places to try\u00a0Puchka in Kolkata\u00a0<\/strong>include Vivekananda Park for paneer puchka, chocolate puchka, green chilly puchka, Durga Pandit ka Puchka in Lake Kalibari for aloo dum puchka and dahi puchka, and Kolkata Chat Centre in Bara Bazar for \u2018spicy puchkas.\u2019<\/p>

Average Price \u2013 INR 150<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

3. Shingara or Samosa: Savory, triangle-shaped snack<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

When talking about the\u00a0famous street food in Kolkata<\/strong>, you can\u2019t miss out on the succulent Shingara, which is as popular as Samosa across India.\u00a0It is a crispy, triangular-shaped fried pastry shell filled with mixed ingredients that may include spiced-up potato, peas, onions, lentils, and aromatic masala, like cumin, turmeric, and coriander.<\/p>

It is golden yellow (due to deep frying), is served with sweet or sour chutney (sauce), and tastes the best with a cup of tea. In Kolkata, it is famous as Shingara, and you would find a vendor selling this dish on every corner of the city.<\/p>

It is believed that the Mughals introduced Samosa to the Indian subcontinent during the 13th or 14th century. Since then, it has been a part of Indian food and is one of the\u00a0best street foods in Kolkata<\/strong>.<\/p>

While many parts of the country serve only vegetarian Samosa, Kolkata samosa has non-vegetarian options, like mutton samosa, in selective stalls.\u00a0 Some of the top places to try Shingara in the city are Sufia in Bara Bazaar, New Saurashtra Nimki House in Bhowanipur, Maharani in Lake Market, and Tewari Brothers in New Alipore (considered the best in the city) for its amchur powder recipe.<\/p>

Average Price \u2013 INR 15 per piece<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

4. Luchi and Alu Dom: Bengali comfort food classic<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A street-side Bengali delicacy, Luchi and Alu Dom can easily make it to the top five\u00a0of Kolkata\u2019s best street food.\u00a0 <\/strong>Luchi is a deep-fried bread, just like roti but fluffier and softer, made from refined flour. It melts in the mouth and is best served hot with gravy or curry.<\/p>

In this case, it is eaten with Alu Dom, which is a spiced potato curry cooked with tomato, onion, ginger, garlic and a variety of aromatic spices like chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin, garam masala, black pepper, and more.<\/p>

It was brought to the Indian subcontinent around the 16th century and soon became popular among citizens. Around this time, Kolkata prepared its rendition of the original Aloo Dum recipe.\u00a0 Bengalis love to have Luchi with fish curry, and they reckon it tastes as incredible as the original combination. In all cases, the dish is served piping hot!<\/p>

Over the years, Luchi and Alu Dom became a Bengali cuisine that can be eaten anytime, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is also not heavy on the stomach, even if you eat more than two or three Luchis. However, everyone has their capacity for food, so choose your count accordingly.<\/p>

If you are looking for an excellent place to try Luchi and Alu Dom in Kolkata, head to Fairlie Palace in the central business district of Kolkata. However, it is a busy street with a\u00a0maddening corporate crowd looking for morning and evening snacks.<\/p>

Go to Bhojohori Manna, Kewpie\u2019s, Ebela Obela, and The Bhoj Company for calmer places. You can also find certain street-side stalls serving this delicacy, which tastes as good as popular restaurants.<\/p>

Average Price: INR 200 to INR 400<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

If you are walking past the city streets while on the Kolkata tour<\/strong>, you will easily take in the aroma of stir-fried noodles cooked with Indian spices. Locals refer to it as Chow Mein, an Indo-Chinese fusion of sizzling noodles mixed with various Indian spices, vegetables, minced meat, eggs, and sauces.<\/p>

Interestingly, Kolkata was once home to more than 20000 Chinese who moved to China or elsewhere. However, the country\u2019s culinary culture was preserved in Kolkata and remains.\u00a0You can find desi noodles in food joints, street stalls, and top restaurants, but to get the authentic taste and flavour of the dish, visit Chinatown in Tiretti Bazaar.<\/p>

The place is lit with Chinese decorations and settings, especially during the Chinese New Year, and deserves all the attention it gets. You should also try rice dumplings with soup before noodles; you will love the combination!<\/p>

Average Price \u2013 INR 300\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Kolkata\u2019s Jhalmuri is one of the most tempting\u00a0street foods in Kolkata.\u00a0<\/strong>An assortment of Indian spices, onions, tomatoes, vegetables, and chanchur mixed in puffed rice, Jhalmuri exhibits the city\u2019s vibrant nature of joy.<\/p>

The iconic street food of Kolkata traces its history to the 19th century when Britishers, when many workers migrated to Bihar and Odisha, moved to Kolkata and saw a business opportunity of selling Jhalmuri to the Britishers.\u00a0 Rest, as they say, was history.<\/p>

The puffed rice mixture combines Bengali and Bihari recipes, eventually becoming Kolkata\u2019s culinary history. The best part? It is a staple of Kolkata\u2019s street food scene and is usually sold by street vendors across every street and corner, typically costing less than INR 20.<\/p>

Average Price \u2013 INR 10 to 30<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

As already mentioned, Kolkata has been home to east asians for a long time, so momo, a Tibetan cuisine<\/a>, has also become the comfort food of Kolkata people.\u00a0It is a delicious dish from vegetables, paneer, and spices covered in a white ball of simple flour. The dish is served with spicy sauce, soup, or chutney.<\/p>

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Tele Bhaja is widely considered as the undisputed king of the best street food in Kolkata<\/strong>. It has a glorious history related to the independence of India. Neta Ji\u2019s Tele Bhaja Shop, named after Subhash Chandra Bose, a prominent freedom fighter, holds a special place in that history. It is said that Bose often sought refuge in this shop.<\/p>

The shop is over 100 years old and offers free Tele Bhaja on Neta Ji\u2019s birthday, 23rd January. You can also find this popular Kolkata street food at Kalika Mukhorochok Telebhaja in College Street, which is over 50 years old, Fairlie Palace, and Gariahat.<\/p>

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Ghugni is a beloved\u00a0Kolkata street food<\/strong>\u00a0that comes as part and parcel of your\u00a0Kolkata trip package.\u00a0 <\/strong>When dried yellow peas are soaked, boiled, and saut\u00e9ed with ginger, garlic, tomatoes, onions, garlic, cumin, turmeric, and other aromatic spices, we call it Ghugni or Ghugni chaat.<\/p>
