“Beguni 10, Chingri cutlet 10, Dimer Devil 10…sab bhalo korey pack korey deben.” (pack ten each of brinjal fritters, prawn cutlets and devilled eggs properly)…so ordered my cousin as I stood by him watching the fare with hungry eyes. Delectable! As a child I would often accompany my cousins to pick up telehajas (fries) from this vendor, which would be served with kodbeler chutney (sour wood apple chutney). And for me there would be a special packet containing my favourite alur chop—just one!
