Street food in Kolkata during lunch hour

Kolkata is a unique city. People come here daily from the suburbs and distant places for work. Some of them work in offices, some in businesses. They come by local trains or cross the River Ganges in steamers or use buses or other forms of public transports. Many of them have to depend on local food outlets during lunchtime. That is when the street food vendors become active. They have a wide variety of products that include pure Bengali dishes like rice, dal, fish curry with some fries and pickles. In case someone wants to have some sweets like sandesh or rosogolla, he can get that also from another vendor.

Then there are those who love biriyani or chapatti with mutton or chicken dishes. Even bread sandwich and omelet are available. There are also demands for Chinese dishes like chow mien. All these are on offer during the lunch hour when the customers enjoy their chosen dishes amidst the rush of traffic on the road. They ignore the dangerous fumes from the exhausts that pollute the surroundings. For those who want to play safe, there are seasonal fruits available in plenty. In short, Kolkata is a vibrant city and the range of street foods is mindboggling. There is something for everyone.
