Kolkata's love for puchka is no secret, but what if your favourite street food came with as many as 17 different varieties to choose from? A content creator recently introduced food lovers to a puchka stall in the city that is taking this beloved street food beyond its traditional alu-masala and tamarind water flavours.
“Now you can get seventeen types of puchka at one place in Kolkata. Here you can try each of the seventeen types of puchka one by one. I tried about one to 10 types myself,” the creator said in Hindi.
The video showed the humble puchka stall surrounded by people who eagerly waited for their turn to sample the different varieties.
“Some of the names were rocket, bullet, pakoodi, mango pudina, chatpati, and many more. And the taste of each puchka was very unique, and it all tasted really good,” the creator said, adding that the pakoodi puchka is a must-try.
