Good work on Calcutta ...There were other cuisines which you missed out i suppose like
Chicken afghani ,a white stew made of checken leg wit two slices of buttered bread ..served in a restaurant(forget thename )touching Coal India on NS Road .Another is the Malpua made of fermented rice deep fried in sugar syrup with cardamom and sauf encrusted on it served in a Patta cone with mihindana ..Again in a lane narrow near Balmer Lawrie House on Ns Road ...Of course its been a long time that we left Calcutta but those heady flavours still linger ..A very cheap joint in Kiddepur turning out the best beef Kasha Mangso type , called the FAKIRs hotel(meaning beggars hotel)where you had to leace your shoes , get up ona concrete pedestal and together with others and eat with nans ..Dirt cheap ..keep posting good work ..You may be surprised that Mumbai is fast catching up with Bong cuisines we hve the Brochohori Manna, Arsalan few months old and Hanglas , Biryas in VT where Bengali traders would stay in Bengal Lodge after arriving weary from Calcutta and eat Alu Posto , luchi in a thali around Rs135 per plate ...
