People look at these slum like conditions and have a perception that people are unhappy. But just look at these two guys, early to rise, doing what they love and serving the community. Its so difficult to find this unity in community. There's something magical about this kind of life. Simplicity. Contentedness. And Purposefullness.

There's something in the shots. This episode looks so much better, even more so than the previous ones. The team has caught the vibe very well! One thing to note is that the Kochuri seller had the whole root of hing! Previously, afghans used to sell it in Kolkata back in the colonial days, but now it comes in dust, store-bought form! I'm guessing this root paste is gonna taste much better.

Solid hing is available through out the country, but people prefer the powdered form for ease of use. Handling solid hing with fingers leaves a lingering aroma which does not go even when washed with soap.

The underlying spiritual journey of the first cook is sublime. The way he sat and explained, simple and powerful. He is a master in his own rights. That is the greatness of Bharath, spirituality is not limited to a certain way of life. Here the essence of spirituality flows in all walks of life. Many humble craftsmen, laborers, shepherds, musicians, poets, butchers, kings, housewives, beggers, etc, have become saints of great reverence. Do whatever your karma is with utmost dedication and sincerely, with God in your heart. Bengal is the land of Swami Ramakrishna paramahamsa and Swami Vivekananda.
I never realised how close knit Indian people are until I moved to Germany. Despite difference of language, religion or income, there is a sense of bonding between people, even among strangers that is simply absent in Europe

People often comment bad and negative about the cleanliness of Indian food. but what I see is the hard work of the people. And the way they prepare it with passion. And also not just india guys. Every country pretty much the same. There's always the ugly part of it. you saw a Fancy restaurant in a big city. But they also Had this kinda of street food. ❤

Love to see my city and thanks CNA for this. I grew up with it and I am glad to see our heritage showcased in such a phenomenal manner. This is the true comfort food of Kolkata, here in Kolkata we have a vibrant culture, along with that we have a wide array of cuisines to choose from North Indian, South Indian, gujrati, punjabi, jain, marwari, continental, asian, persian, American comfort, Italian, European fine dining etcetera but nothing can beat that humble club kachori and alu torkari. That I can assure you.....
Thank you CNA for showcasing my city in such a powerful and amazing way. I've eaten at both these places numerous times, they are icons of their locality and neighbourhood.

A lot of foreign documentaries focus on the poverty and corruption and what not. While those are issues that do need to be highlighted, unfortunately it's the stories of the ordinary people that go unheard. If we judge them by 1st world standards they are impoverished but it doesn't take away the fact that they are just as hardworking, creative and resourceful in making it through life despite their circumstances.

I love these food streets of kolkata.I feel Kolkata's street food is by far one of the best in India. Even the vegetable markets are so pleasing to the eyes with greens all around along with those river water live fish. Its a vegetable and fish shopping delight experience with so many varieties to choose from. Delicious, sumptuous fish curry with the inherent taste of all those vegetables. The vegetable chop and ghugni of west bengal are very delicious ufff just kono katha hobe na, by far the best taste 😋.
I am from the city of Joy, Kolkata. Thanks CNA for covering the beautiful street foods of my city.
Bangla is my mother language I understood him quite properly.. i stay rather close to Kolkata howrah,WB Yes fried items are all time favourites for us Bengalis especially in the Evening...

Very long back as a resident of Hyderabad on a visit to Calcutta as part of official duty i had visited this place and purchased small clay idols like Maa Durga lava kusha and so on.But the real joke was i had asked my colleagues the way to go to that place and they were simply stunned.Later i came to know the other part of Kumartuli where a lot of brothels are existing.Any how all sweet memories.

I literally love to eat in old,smal&tiny food vendors or any small food stall especially old generation food store's,idc if thats a poor shop.It's really nostalgic and heartwarming🩷thing to me.
Lovely video! Reminded me of home, but personally, I didn't appreciate the word 'slum food.' I saw the Ganges-the holy river, the people, the food, and the hard-working common men striving to make a difference. Now sure how 'this' is related to 'slum.'

Coastal states in India have awesome food ... Bengal is best amongst those states..
Humble and Honest!!
Anybody who lived in Kolkata for at least a month would know that Kolkata may not be a bright flourishing modern city like Bangalore but a city that grows on your heart. For us natives, Kolkata is a emotion and we wouldn't even have wanted to change it a inch if the world was not in a rat race to show off financial wealth.
