A perfect Sunday morning in Kolkata means having steamed hot club kachoris paired with jalebi, aloo sabzi, malai toast, and kesar chai. While the rest of India might think of kachori as a deep-fried paratha with stuffing inside, the Kolkata special Club Kachori stands out. These are bite-sized puris prepared typically with Maida or even wheat. You'll be served a flavourful potato curry to pair with these kachoris. Tempted already? Hit up these spots in the city to taste the finest of them.
