AUTHENTIC Kolkatan INDIAN Street Food Tour in White Town | Kolkata, India

After my first trip to India in February of 2018, I learned why this country is among the top tourist destinations in the world. There are so many wonders to experience there, from its long, ancient history to the beautiful culture to the mind-blowing food. And the people are so warm and friendly. I’m glad I got to go back just ten months later and explore more of the country with my friend Sam from Samuel & Audrey!

Our second day in Kolkata continued with Navpreet from Fun On Streets, who took us on an amazing street food and attractions tour of the White Town area of Kolkata! Come along with us as we continue to eat our way through the city!

We started at Paramount Cold Drinks & Syrup, a historic shop that was established so people could get seasonal drinks. We tried their famous coconut-based drink, daab sarbat, which was very naturally sweet and incredibly refreshing. The recipe is a 100-year-old secret!

As we explored the area, we came across protesters who want to see the return of the Communist Party, which ruled West Bengal for forty years until roughly ten years ago when the government changed and became more stable.

We made our way to the White Town, which is where the colonial area rulers used to stay. Here we saw a lot of the remnants of the British Empire, including the demarcation line that marks where an old British fort once stood, Lal Dighi Square, B.B.D. Bagh, and lots of colonial buildings.

In the central district, we grabbed some fresh sugarcane juice to cool down before starting our street food tour with some Dim Pauruti (50 rupees), a bread that is soaked in egg, grilled, and served with a basic chickpea curry that also contains onions, green chilies, and a squirt of lime. The bread is sweet and toasted perfectly, while the savory, spicy curry has a nice crunch. It was amazing!

Next was Kolkata-style Chinese Noodles (10 rupees), which was very filling and contained lots of chilies, unlike regular Chinese noodles. It also contained a red sauce, onions, and other vegetables, and had sweet and sour flavors, but it wasn’t spicy. I loved it!

Next, we had a puffed rice dish with tomatoes, onions, potatoes, green chilies, and gram called Jhaal Muri (10 rupees), which was crunchy and had a little moistness from the tomato. It’s a healthy snack that has a spice that snuck up on me later!

Our next dish was Malai Toast (35 rupees for 2 pieces), which is toast topped with a fresh cream that has been removed from boiled milk and sugar. The bread was crunchy and the sugar made it a little sweet and it was fantastic! It was exactly what I needed to get me through the rest of the food tour!

Our final dish was Dal Chilla (40 rupees), which is a lentil pancake made from moong dal batter, salt, and green chilies. It’s topped with onions, tomatoes, and coriander and served with a mint chutney and a garlic chutney. I tried it with the spicy mint chutney first, and the Dal Chilla was like an explosion of heat in my mouth, which I really liked, but the garlic chutney tasted like straight garlic and was too much for me!

We wrapped up our tour with some chai from the chai master, who put on a show for us by cooling the chai by pouring it six feet from container to container. The chai was nice and frothy with a delicious cardamom flavor. It was almost like hot chocolate and was so good I needed another one!

I had so much fun on this street tour! I had never tried any of these dishes before and I love trying new foods. If you’re ever in Kolkata and want to go on an amazing food tour, look up Navpreet! She’ll hook you up!
