In addition to the tasting of the delicacies, a visit to the Indian
Museum is a must. The reminiscence of visiting a new place is always
relishing and when it comes to visiting a museum, the dormant primal strings of
our genes unprecedentedly get stimulated.
#4. KATHI ROLL
A patented epicurean delight of Kolkata, born initially in the Nizam
restaurant, it is now a well-known street food too, with a wide variant of

lies in the wrapping of the egg-paratha around the roasted kebab pieces with
sauce and salads.
Be prepared
to lose your heart in between those crooked twists of floured batter dipped in
the sugared syrup.

DeleteWe love eating street food when we travel to a new country. It's been a few years since I've been to India but I ate a lot of kathi rolls - they are one of my favorites! I'm interested in trying the fish fry with the Kasundi mustard sauce on a return visit.
ReplyDeleteChocolate tea?!?! Yes please! I've had naan and I love a good fish fry, but the rest of these wonders I'm going to have to try.
