RPG Group chairman Harsh Goenka, who often posts witty and inspirational messages on social media, took to Twitter on Saturday to share the recipe of street food from Kolkata that he says, is his favourite.
This recipe is a twist on the traditional ingredients that are used in a conventional ‘bhelpuri’.
“Bhelpuri toast is my favourite street food mainly found in Kolkata,” wrote Goenka.
“On a slice of bread you put potatoes, onions, coconut slices, peanut, tamarind chutney, chili chutney and bhujiya. You must try it if you go to Kolkata! (sic),” he added, sharing photos of a roadside stall selling bhelpuri toast.
Replying to this, Paytm chief Vijay Shekhar Sharma said: “Totally, new type of toast or bhelapuri. Gotta try it!”
Some others asked him where they can find this dish in Kolkata.
“Will certainly try on my next visit. Where in Kolkata wd you recommend?’ wrote one of Goenka’s followers.
A few of the netizens answered this question in different replies.
A Twitter user wrote: “It’s a must especially from the guy on Sarat Bose Road ….vivid memories of living 2 years in the city of joy Calcutta (yes it wasn’t Kolkata then). Also Calcuta Punjab Club on Ballygunj Circular Road, panner butter masala, dal makhani and naans are the best one can ever have (sic).”
