Once upon a time, shingaras with high tea was a quintessential snack in Kolkata for guests. The Bangali shingara stands out {head and shoulders} from the rest because of its filling – tiny cauliflower pieces, fresh peas, potatoes and sometimes even cashew and raisins. Combined with a dash of roasted cumin powder, they take the samosa to a different level. These are of course best made at home. Around the city, the some of the best places to get them are at well-known Bengali sweet shops like Mouchak {multiple outlets}, Mrityunjoy Ghosh & Sons on Sarat Bose Road, Deshabandhu Mishtanna Bhandar in Barabazar, Balaram and Radharaman Mullick in Bhawanipur, and Putiram on College Street.
