How Kachuri Creates a Morning in Bengal Famous Breakfast Dishes From Bengal You Must Try

By barnali dutta

Kolkata's favorite breakfast food is kachoris, a deep-fried snack with aloo torkari.

When in Bengal eat like Bengalis

Since Kachori, Radhaballavi, and curries are classified as vegetarian, their availability in the food stores in front of all the temples is inevitable

Kachuri jilipi in the morning and singara in the afternoon are popular and easily available dishes at sweet shops. 

A vivid presence is still discernible at ordinary neighbourhood intersections, in front of bus stops, railway stations, beach shops, hospitals, and office neighbourhoods.

So what makes a kachuri reall good

 its unique filling and taste

The most common type is the Radhaballavi, a soft fluffy bread stuffed with spicy lentil misture 

The “Hing-er Kachuri” is another well-known variation that uses asafoetida (hing) to infuse the dough with a distinct flavour.

The fact that there are so many kachuri outlets spread around Kolkata is largely due to this appeal to the dish. 

Radhaballavi, Khasta Kachori, Hing Kachori, and Club Kachori are the most widely available kachuri varieties in Kolkata.

Not all sweet shops in Kolkata sell kachuri. Some sell only on Sundays, and some sell every day. There are some kachuri shops that sell only kachuri all day long.
