1. Puchka- In Kolkata, Panipuri is referred to as Puchka. We all know how tasty it is to eat, and it is something that is readily available in practically every region of India. You may find a lot of Puchka vendors selling them on the streets of Kolkata, and you can buy five of them for about 10 rupees. Another item, known as churmur, is sold by puchka vendors; Kolkatans adore eating it.                                                            Where to eat: Multiple vendors across the city.
2. Ghugni- The ingredients for this magnificent cuisine include chopped onions, tomatoes, coconut, coriander, and chillies along with cooked yellow dried peas or white peas. It has a strong flavour and kick because of a combination of flavorful spices and tamarind water. The fact that it is inexpensive and provides a substantial supper is its best feature. You must treat yourself to this fantastic dish while visiting the country where Bangla seems to be a way of life.                                                                                                                                                          Where to eat: You will find the best one in Dacre Lane.
3. Kathi Rolls- Did you know that Kolkata is where the now-famous "Kathi Rolls" were initially created? The mouthwatering filling wrapped in thin roti is available at several stores. The original and genuine Kathi Rolls can still be found, despite changes and modifications as it spread across cities.                                                                                                                                                                                                                Where to eat: Nizam's and Badshah in New Market and Kusum's and Hot Kathi Roll in Park Street & Zaika in Paul Bazaar.
4. Jhalmuri- Jhalmuri is a tasty street meal that can be found in every corner of the city and is a simple and speedy snack. Puffed rice, namkeen, peanuts, coriander, onions, tomatoes, spices, chilies, and a teaspoon of raw mustard oil are all mixed together to make the snack. It is the quickest and greatest street food in Kolkata since it requires little oil and is not cooked. A conical newspaper wrap is then used to serve the finished product. You can eat it on the go by itself or with a cup of hot tea.                                                                                                      Where to eat: Vendors at Jawaharlal Nehru Road and Triangular Park.
5. Luchi-Aloo Dum- One of the dishes that many people enjoy the most in Kolkata is this one. This dish is readily available anywhere and may be enjoyed at any time of day. To put it another way: Alu Dom is Dum Aloo with a Bengali twist, while Luchis are extremely similar to Puris. In Kolkata, there are several little stands where you may sample this incredibly tasty food for a reasonable price. Don't be afraid to put on some weight as long as you don't miss this delectable delight in Kolkata.                                                                                                                Where to eat: Several street vendors and at Fairlie Place.
6. Aloo Chop- The fact that Kolkata's street food dishes are not only excellent but also relatively simple to prepare is a terrific thing. Aloo chop would make a great example. All you require is a bowl of potatoes and some love. On a more serious note, though, the aroma of aloo chop will give you a strong need to eat. This tasty dish is made with mashed potatoes, chopped onions, ginger-garlic paste, dry spices, coriander, and green chilies. Small balls of the mixture are formed, dipped in a batter made of chickpea flour, and deep-fried. The ideal way to enjoy aloo chop is hot with a cup of tea.                                                                                                                                                                                      Where to eat: Stalls near Deshapriya Park.
7. Keemar Doi Bora- Keemar Doi Bora is made by dropping beef Dahi Bada into sweet dahi and then sprinkling panch phoron—cinnamon, a dash of red chilli powder, cumin, black mustard seeds, and fenugreek—over the top. This meal is special and one of the best street foods in Kolkata for north Indians to taste.                                                                                                                                                                      Where to eat: Several vendors at Burrabazar.
8. Telebhaja- This is one of the widely consumed fried treats that are offered at practically all events. It is best chosen when you are tempted by anything hot and spicy on a wet day. To make this crunchy snack, a variety of ingredients are combined, including besan, onion rings, pumpkin, potatoes, and cornflour. There are numerous additional Telebhaja varieties that you can encounter and which you absolutely must not miss. This food is widely available on numerous streets in Kolkata due to its popularity.                                                                                          Where to eat: Many street vendors on College Street.
9. Singhara- Think like this if you don't know what Singhara is: Samosa is the name by which it is most frequently recognised in the country. Singhara is triangle-shaped and has a variety of filling, just as its northern version. While a non-vegetarian singhara requires stuffing of minced lamb, chicken, or mutton, a vegetarian singhara is made by boiling potatoes, green chilies, fresh coriander leaves, green peas, raisins, and peanuts. It has a distinctive texture because of its crisp outside and soft interior, which keeps you coming back for more.                            Where to eat: Numerous vendors across the city but best ones near Deshapriya Park.
10. Chanar Jilibi- It is juicy, soft, and chewy, making it the perfect street food for anyone with a sweet craving in Kolkata. A cottage cheese-based jalebi from Kolkata is called Chanar Jilipi. It has a texture akin to gulab jamun and is thicker than a typical jalebi. Essentially, that combines the goodness of two treats.                                                                                                                                                                                    Where to eat: Many stalls at Golpark and College Street.
11. Dimer Devil- One of the most popular treats among non-vegetarian foodies is the dimer devil. This one dish may fill you up for the entire day and has a terrific taste. This fried delicacy is essentially a spin on Kolkata's well-known chop. The egg is added as a twist to the standard pork chop in Dimer Devil. Thus, this tantalising delicacy combines the flavours of the beef chop with the egg. The cooked egg stuffing gives this meal a variety of flavours. Unquestionably a meal to try.                                                                                                                                  Where to eat: Kalika Mukhorochak, Surya Sen Street.
