'November of 2018 was an amazing month for me, as I spent most of it exploring the sights, sounds, and tastes of India for the second time in less than a year. After my 18-day adventure through seven different cities, I’ve found myself even more enthralled with this country’s culture, languages, people, and of course, its food. This place is absolutely magical. And I’m so glad I got to explore it all with my travel buddy Sam from Samuel & Audrey.

Check out the tour here: https://achefstour.com/tour/calcutta-food-tour Come and join the three of us as we sample even more incredible Indian food in Kolkata! My Film Making Kit ► https://kit.com/davidsbeenhere Our adventure began at the New Market, where I met lots of friendly vendors along the tight, bustling lanes. Avik took us to a small stall where we received blessings to ensure that the forces were on our side for our food tour. This country is so spiritual and I love it! We officially kicked off our food tour in Shyambazar, and right away, we started with a pomegranate lassi, a fruity version of the popular, yogurt-based drink at a spot that has been around for 50 years and 4 generations. It wasn’t as thick as a regular lassi and was like a refreshing cross between a lassi and a juice. Our first food was mutton, or baby goat, which I had with a paratha and onions. The mutton had been cooking in its own juices for eight hours and was so tender, buttery, and flavorful. It wasn’t too spicy but had a nice tingle to it and I could taste a lot of pepper. One of the best goat dishes I’ve ever had in my life! It was finger-licking good! Next, we stopped at Bhojohori Manna for some Bengali fine dining. There, we had a massive prawn, a fish in a mustard gravy, a coconut-based curry, and rice. The prawn was so buttery it fell apart in my mouth and the curry reminded me of a light version of the curry that comes with butter chicken. The fish was super light and I loved the skin! After that, we made our way to Shobhabazar. On our way, I tried a chaat that was a fried mixture of peanuts, lentils, onions, coriander, and chutney. It was crunchy, spicy, and refreshing, and a fantastic palette cleanser! Next was Puchka, or the Kolkatan name for one of my favorite Indian dishes, Pani Puri. This kind contained a soup-like sauce and a potato mash and was a flavor explosion in my mouth! I couldn’t stop eating them! Our next stop was Allen Kitchen, which has been open for over 125 years. I dove right into their fried prawns with ghee and mustard, which was fantastic! The combination of the prawns, ghee, and mustard was delicious. It was crunchy on the outside, soft in the middle, and wasn’t greasy at all! We walked through one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods, which felt almost like an ancient city, to find a stand selling a light, crunchy, and airy savory puffed rice mixture that was filled with spices. It was amazing! Next, we hopped on a bus, which was a fun and interesting experience in itself, and rode it to College Street, which is where the largest second-hand open-air book market is located. But instead of revisiting the book market, which I’d seen the day before, we finished off our tour with a fatty, sugary, and delicious Jalebi! This food tour was outstanding! I had so many mouthwatering dishes that blew my mind. I have to give a huge thanks to Avik and A Chef’s Tour for taking us on this unforgettable food tour of Kolkata!
