    College Street College Street and Bowbazar

    Open

    Where
    12A Surya Sen Street, near College Street crossing, Kolkata 700073

    Order the plate of four kochuris with cholar dal, and a rosogolla after. Kochuri runs all day, unusually, but the shop is small and Sunday morning queues spill onto Surya Sen Street.

    Where
    Shops 35A and 35B, ground floor, Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Road, Bhowanipore, Kolkata 700025

    Kochuri with the faintly sweet cholar dal, followed by a langcha. Frying carries on from six in the morning to ten at night, so timing is simple; the pavement is not.

    Hing kochuri, a jilipi and cha, taken across the road from its older neighbour. Doors open at seven and close by half twelve, so a late Sunday start leaves you with nothing.

    Where
    Sukea Street, near Maniktala crossing, Kolkata 700009

    The torkari is made with unpeeled potatoes, gingery and faintly sweet, so order kochuri with that rather than dal. It sits on Sukea Street near Maniktala crossing, with no timings posted anywhere.

    Where
    18 Anil Moitra Road, near South Point Junior School, Ballygunge, Kolkata 700019

    Hing kochuri is the one to take; the paneer and green pea versions are a distraction. The counter runs from half seven to half nine, and the pavement outside South Point is a scrum at eight.

    18C Bagbazar Street, opposite Union Bank of India, Kolkata 700003

    Two hing kochuris with alur torkari, eaten on the pavement of Bagbazar Street. Frying stops by midday and starts again late afternoon, so a slow breakfast finds the shutters half down.

  10. Nandy Sweets

    Goabagan, Maniktala Sealdah, Maniktala and Beleghata

    Where
    Goabagan Road, near Maniktala crossing, Kolkata 700006

    Fourteen rupees buys a pair of hing kochuris here, with potato torkari cooked skins and all. It is a takeaway counter and nothing more, and nobody has ever published its hours, so go in the morning.
