## About Kolkata Street Food & Snacks

When you order these snacks for your house party, remember that they are made-to-order in my home kitchen. Because I don't use preservatives or commercial shortcuts, I need a little advance notice—especially for bulk quantities—so I can source the freshest ingredients and slow-cook the gravies to get that authentic street-style depth.

I remember the street-side stalls at Calcutta fairs—the smell of frying spices, the hustle, and the way everything tasted better outdoors. But as a kid, I was always told *pet kharap hobe* (it will upset your stomach) by my father. That is exactly why I started making these classics at home. 

My version of Kolkata-style Chilli Chicken is inspired by the Tangra-style preparation—bold, spicy, and perfect with rotis or noodles. Similarly, my Ghugni is a robust yellow pea curry that I like to dress up with fresh onions, chillies, and coriander, just like the vendors at the Kolkata Book Fair. For those who want something heartier, I even add minced mutton to the mix. 

Everything is prepared in my FSSAI-registered kitchen, meaning you get the flavours of the street with the hygiene and quality control of home cooking. Since I handle the cooking myself, I treat every order as a special project. Whether you are hosting an evening get-together or just craving a nostalgic snack, let me know ahead of time so I can prepare your meal with the care it deserves.
