Often served with a side of mango achaar, this will leave you licking your fingers.
Mughlai Paratha
This street food is unique to Bengal and extremely underrated. This special paratha has a scrumptious filling of eggs, minced meat and chopped vegetables. Folded into the iconic square shape, it is shallow fried like parathas usually are. Often served with salad or a curry, this meal is affordable yet tasty.

Creamy kulfi is cut into slices and served with soft phaluda dipped usually in rose or mango syrup. With a dash of dry fruits, this is the perfect street dessert.
